Dr. Ora Shovman

My 87-year-old mother's complex medication regimen was causing dangerous interactions that multiple doctors missed. Dr. Shovman spent three hours reviewing every pill and created a color-coded system that simplified everything. She even coordinated with our local pharmacist to ensure seamless implementation. Mom's cognitive function improved dramatically within weeks.

During a routine physical, Dr. Shovman noticed subtle changes in my reflexes that I hadn't mentioned. She ordered specialized testing that revealed early-stage Guillain-Barré syndrome. Her proactive approach allowed for treatment before I experienced any significant symptoms, literally preventing paralysis.

As parents of a nonverbal autistic teenager, we struggled for years to address his gastrointestinal issues. Dr. Shovman developed a revolutionary communication system using picture cards that finally helped him describe his pain. She diagnosed and treated a rare digestive disorder that had been misdiagnosed for a decade.

I arrived at Sheba with what appeared to be severe food poisoning from a business trip to Southeast Asia. Dr. Shovman recognized patterns others missed and diagnosed leptospirosis, a rare bacterial infection. Her quick thinking and knowledge of tropical medicine saved me from organ failure.

As a 22-year-old competitive rock climber, I suddenly developed mysterious fatigue and joint pain that threatened my career. Dr. Shovman didn't just treat symptoms, she discovered an unusual autoimmune response triggered by altitude changes. Her personalized treatment plan allowed me to return to climbing within months, smarter and stronger than before.
