Sheba Medical Center Reviews

An 81-year-old retired physicist with glioblastoma participated in Dr. Appel's experimental flash radiation trial. His scientific background allowed deep engagement with treatment parameters. The ultra-rapid delivery resulted in unprecedented tumor reduction with preserved cognitive function until his peaceful passing eighteen months later.

A 36-year-old professional cellist with a rare salivary gland tumor required precision radiation to preserve facial nerve function. Dr. Appel used real-time imaging to protect nerve pathways during each session. The musician returned to concert performance within six months with undiminished artistry.

A 58-year-old fisherman with merkel cell carcinoma on his sun-exposed forearm had ignored symptoms for years. Dr. Appel's aggressive radiation regimen combined with immunotherapy achieved complete clearance despite advanced presentation. He now volunteers at marina skin cancer screening events.

My 82-year-old father was experiencing unexplained tremors that multiple doctors dismissed as age-related. Dr. Caspi spent over an hour examining him, ordered specific genetic testing no one else had considered, and diagnosed him with a rare movement disorder. Her personalized treatment plan gave him back his ability to write letters to his grandchildren.

When our 7-year-old daughter started having staring spells at school, we were terrified. Dr. Caspi knelt down to eye level with her, used stuffed animals to explain how brains work, and made her laugh. She diagnosed absence seizures and found the perfect medication dosage through careful monitoring. Our little girl is now seizure-free and back to ballet classes.

I was rushed to Sheba after collapsing at work with what turned out to be a complex aneurysm. Dr. Caspi performed emergency surgery at 2 AM with such precision that I woke up with minimal deficits. Her team used some new microcatheter technique I'd never heard of - she literally saved my life with cutting-edge medicine.

As a marathon runner, my persistent migraines were destroying my training. Dr. Caspi didn't just prescribe medication - she analyzed my hydration patterns, sleep schedule, and even my running form. Her holistic approach identified trigger points in my neck muscles that physical therapy has now resolved. I'm back to running pain-free!

My husband's Parkinson's had progressed to where he couldn't feed himself. Dr. Caspi recommended DBS surgery when others said he was too advanced. The transformation was miraculous - he's now gardening again and we just celebrated our 50th anniversary dancing in our living room. She gave us our life back.

After my concussion from a car accident, five doctors told me my dizziness was 'just anxiety.' Dr. Caspi discovered a vestibular nerve injury through specialized tests others hadn't performed. Her vestibular rehab protocol has me driving again and returning to work next month. She actually listened when no one else would.

We brought our teenage son in for what we thought were panic attacks. Dr. Caspi recognized immediately they were actually focal seizures. She worked with him directly, explaining everything in terms he could understand and making him part of the treatment decisions. His grades have improved dramatically since starting treatment.

During my routine MS follow-up, Dr. Caspi noticed subtle changes in my MRI that previous neurologists had missed. She adjusted my medication protocol and caught a disease flare before I even had symptoms. Her attention to detail is absolutely extraordinary - she sees what others don't.

My mother's sudden confusion in the ER was dismissed as dementia until Dr. Caspi was consulted. She recognized autoimmune encephalitis, started treatment immediately, and sat with our family for hours explaining the complex diagnosis. Mom is now back home baking her famous apple pies thanks to Dr. Caspi's expertise.

As a musician with essential tremor, I was losing my ability to play violin. Dr. Caspi offered Botox injections with such precision that my hand steadiness improved without affecting my musical dexterity. She understood exactly what I needed to maintain my career and delivered perfectly.

After suffering a stroke during pregnancy, multiple doctors were hesitant to treat me aggressively. Dr. Caspi developed a safe treatment plan that protected both me and my baby. She coordinated with my OB team and even checked on me daily postpartum. Our healthy daughter is now 6 months old thanks to her courage and skill.

I came to Dr. Caspi for a second opinion after being told my nerve pain was untreatable. She identified a rare compression neuropathy and performed a delicate surgery that eliminated years of suffering. Her surgical technique was so precise I barely have a scar.

My brother with Down syndrome needed neurological care but was terrified of doctors. Dr. Caspi modified her entire examination to make him comfortable, used picture cards to communicate, and earned his trust completely. She treats the whole person, not just the chart.

At 82, I thought my racing heart was just part of aging until Dr. Borik discovered a dangerous arrhythmia. Her gentle manner made me feel like her only patient, and the pacemaker procedure was explained so clearly I wasn't nervous at all. Six months later, I'm gardening again!

Our 8-year-old daughter was born with a heart defect that terrified us. Dr. Borik didn't just treat her - she spoke directly to our child, using stuffed animals to explain the procedure. The successful surgery felt like a miracle performed by the most compassionate hands.

What I thought would be a routine stress test turned into a discovery of blocked arteries I never knew I had. Dr. Borik's thoroughness saved me from a future heart attack. Her follow-up care has been meticulous - she even calls personally with test results.

After my complex quadruple bypass, Dr. Borik visited me three times daily, adjusting medications with precision. Her innovative surgical approach minimized scarring and recovery time. I've never seen a doctor so dedicated to both science and soul.
