Dr. David Mishali Reviews
Patient Experience
At 82 with a failing aortic valve, I was terrified of surgery. Dr. Mishali didn't just explain the TAVR procedure - he drew diagrams on my hospital napkin and held my hand until I understood. His team at Sheba made me feel like family, not just another elderly patient.
Our 8-year-old daughter's congenital heart defect required specialized care. Dr. Mishali knelt to her eye level, showed her how his stethoscope worked, and let her listen to his own heartbeat first. He turned a scary experience into an adventure she now proudly tells her friends about.
Rushed to Sheba with crushing chest pain at 2 AM, I thought it was over. Dr. Mishali's calm presence in the cath lab saved my life during that STEMI. He called my wife personally after the emergency angioplasty - a human touch when I needed it most.
As an athlete with routine palpitations, I expected a quick checkup. Dr. Mishali spent an hour analyzing my Holter monitor results, discovered subtle arrhythmias during exercise, and created a tailored management plan that let me keep competing safely.
My triple bypass was supposed to be straightforward, but complications arose mid-surgery. Dr. Mishali's team adapted instantly - his surgical skill and quick thinking during those critical hours are why I'm writing this review today.
Six-month follow-up after my ablation procedure, and Dr. Mishali remembered not just my medical history but that my granddaughter had started kindergarten. That personal connection makes you trust every medical decision he recommends.
Transferred from another hospital with endocarditis that others had misdiagnosed. Dr. Mishali's diagnostic intuition caught what everyone else missed. His aggressive treatment protocol was tough but saved my heart from permanent damage.
Brought my father for what we thought was dementia-related fatigue. Dr. Mishali identified cardiac amyloidosis - a rare condition everyone had overlooked. His willingness to dig deeper gave us answers after years of uncertainty.
As a medical student shadowing in cardiology, I watched Dr. Mishali explain complex hemodynamics to a factory worker using plumbing analogies. His ability to tailor explanations to each patient's background is something I'll carry through my own career.
Post-heart transplant follow-up during the pandemic was daunting, but Dr. Mishali's team created a hybrid care model with remote monitoring that felt just as thorough as in-person visits. Their innovation kept vulnerable patients like me safe.
Emergency helicopter transfer to Sheba with aortic dissection - the most terrifying experience of my life. Dr. Mishali's team met us on the roof, and his absolute command of the situation made us believe survival was possible against all odds.
Routine stress test revealed anomalous coronary arteries that could have been catastrophic. Dr. Mishali's meticulous attention to subtle ECG changes during exercise probably prevented my sudden cardiac death during marathon training.
Watching Dr. Mishali lead the cardiac arrest team was like observing a maestro conduct an orchestra. Every movement precise, every instruction clear, and despite the chaos, he maintained a humanity that comforted our family during those awful minutes.
My pacemaker replacement should have been simple, but scar tissue from previous surgery made it complex. Dr. Mishali's innovative approach avoided major surgery and completed the procedure through a tiny incision with minimal recovery time.
