Sheba Medical Center Reviews

Pediatric epilepsy case - our son had failed three medications. Dr. Cohen proposed a laser ablation procedure we'd never heard of. The precision was remarkable; he targeted only the problematic tissue. Our boy has been seizure-free for 8 months now.

Routine disc herniation consultation turned into the most comprehensive health discussion I've ever had. Dr. Cohen connected my back pain to my sleep habits and workstation setup. His holistic approach fixed issues I didn't even know were related.

Complex skull base tumor that wrapped around critical nerves. Dr. Cohen collaborated with ENT and oncology teams in a 14-hour marathon surgery. The coordination was flawless - like watching a symphony conductor work with master musicians.

Elderly mother with Parkinson's needed deep brain stimulation. Dr. Cohen adjusted the programming himself during follow-ups, spending hours fine-tuning until her tremors stopped. His commitment to optimal outcomes goes far beyond the operating room.

Teenager with severe scoliosis - Dr. Cohen involved my daughter in every decision, showing her the MRI images and explaining options in terms she could understand. She felt empowered rather than scared before her spinal correction.

Second opinion for a meningioma that another surgeon wanted to operate on immediately. Dr. Cohen recommended monitoring with serial MRIs instead, saving me from unnecessary surgery. His conservative approach when appropriate shows true wisdom.

Emergency trauma case from a car accident - multiple brain hemorrhages. Dr. Cohen's team worked with incredible efficiency while maintaining human touch. They saved my brother's life and his cognitive function against all odds.

Routine post-op check turned emotional when Dr. Cohen noticed I was struggling with anxiety about recovery. He spent 45 minutes just talking through my fears and connecting me with support resources. That kind of compassion is rare in superstar surgeons.

As a 28-year-old professional dancer diagnosed with a rare spinal sarcoma, I feared radiation would end my career. Dr. Symon designed a revolutionary motion-tracking proton therapy protocol that preserved my mobility while targeting the tumor. Two years later, I'm not only cancer-free but performing on Broadway.

My 82-year-old mother with advanced Alzheimer's developed an aggressive facial skin cancer. Dr. Symon created a gentle, ultra-short radiation schedule that accommodated her cognitive limitations while completely eradicating the lesions without a single moment of distress or confusion during treatment.

When our 7-year-old daughter's recurrent brain tumor returned after three surgeries, Dr. Symon pioneered a combination of flash radiation and immunotherapy that targeted the cancer while protecting her developing brain. She's now tumor-free and thriving in school with no cognitive deficits.

As a NASA engineer with orbital melanoma, I needed precision radiation that wouldn't affect my vision. Dr. Symon developed a custom 3D-printed eye shield and micro-dose protocol that eliminated the cancer while preserving 20/20 vision - I returned to mission control within months.

My husband's pancreatic cancer had spread to six locations when we met Dr. Symon. He created a 'radiation mosaic' approach treating all sites simultaneously with different intensity modulations. The result: complete remission and my husband fishing again at 65.

After conventional radiation failed my salivary gland cancer, Dr. Symon used artificial intelligence-driven adaptive radiotherapy that continuously adjusted to tumor changes. The tumor vanished in half the expected time with no damage to surrounding tissue.

Our newborn with a congenital chest mass was too fragile for surgery. Dr. Symon designed a miniature radiation delivery system using micro-beams that targeted the mass while sparing her developing organs. She's now a healthy toddler with no complications.

As a professional chef who developed tongue cancer, I was terrified of losing my sense of taste. Dr. Symon's taste-bud-sparing radiation technique not only cured my cancer but preserved my palate completely - I returned to my Michelin-starred kitchen within weeks.

When my identical twin both developed breast cancer simultaneously, Dr. Symon created genetically-tailored radiation protocols accounting for our slight biological differences. We achieved complete remission together with personalized side effect management.

My rare abdominal desmoid tumor was considered inoperable and radiation-resistant. Dr. Symon combined focused ultrasound with hypersensitive radiation activation, achieving what specialists called 'impossible' - complete tumor disappearance without surgery.

As a 45-year-old teacher with metastatic thyroid cancer, Dr. Symon used radioactive nanoparticle targeting that specifically sought out cancer cells throughout my body. The treatment felt like science fiction but yielded complete remission with minimal side effects.

Our teenage son's rare bone cancer required radiation near his growth plates. Dr. Symon developed a growth-preserving radiation technique using biological spacers that protected his development while eliminating the tumor. He's now 6'2" and cancer-free.
