When our 12-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder, Dr. Somech coordinated with specialists across three departments to create an innovative treatment plan. He even helped develop educational materials for her school teachers about her condition. Two years later, she's thriving in school sports with her condition in complete remission.
During a family vacation from overseas, our 8-month-old suffered a febrile seizure. Dr. Somech met us in the ER at 2 AM, conducted a thorough neurological assessment, and stayed with us until we were comfortable with the discharge plan. He followed up daily during our remaining week in Israel and established a connection with our home pediatrician.
Our 15-year-old son with complex congenital heart disease needed dental work that required special antibiotic prophylaxis. Dr. Somech personally consulted with both cardiology and dentistry teams to develop a safety protocol, then accompanied our son through the entire procedure to monitor his cardiac status in real-time.
After multiple doctors dismissed our concerns about our 6-year-old's chronic fatigue, Dr. Somech ordered an unconventional test that revealed a rare metabolic disorder. His persistence in investigating beyond standard protocols gave us answers after two years of uncertainty and started our daughter on proper treatment.
Our 3-day-old newborn developed severe jaundice requiring immediate phototherapy. Dr. Somech personally monitored his bilirubin levels around the clock and developed a customized light therapy protocol that avoided the need for blood transfusion. His gentle approach with our fragile baby and constant communication with us as terrified first-time parents made all the difference.
