Dr. Dov Zippel Reviews

Dr. Zippel saved my 4-year-old daughter's life when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. He knelt down to her eye level, spoke in a gentle voice about 'fighting the bad cells,' and created a personalized treatment plan that minimized side effects. Two years later, she's cancer-free and still talks about 'Dr. Dov the superhero.'

As an 82-year-old with metastatic prostate cancer, I'd seen many oncologists. Dr. Zippel was different, he spent 45 minutes explaining treatment options in Yiddish (my preferred language) and never rushed me. His holistic approach addressing both my cancer and bone pain changed everything.

Emergency admission at 2 AM with acute leukemia complications. Dr. Zippel came in within 20 minutes, still perfectly composed. His calm decisiveness during the crisis, ordering exactly the right tests and medications, stopped the bleeding episode. He stayed until 5 AM monitoring my vitals himself.

Routine six-month follow-up turned into a life-changing moment when Dr. Zippel noticed subtle changes in my scans others might have missed. His early detection of recurrence allowed for minimally invasive intervention instead of major surgery. His observational skills are supernatural.

Complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer, Dr. Zippel coordinated with three surgical teams at Sheba. What impressed me most was his Saturday visit to explain the 11-hour surgery to my family using anatomical models. The man operates with both technical mastery and profound humanity.

Young adult with rare sarcoma, Dr. Zippel researched emerging therapies worldwide and secured compassionate use of an experimental drug. He video-called researchers in Germany during our appointment to discuss my case. Who does that?

Palliative care transition handled with extraordinary grace. Dr. Zippel spent two hours with our family discussing quality-of-life options while never abandoning hope. He still calls every fortnight to check on my mother's comfort, three years after active treatment ended.

Second opinion that overturned my initial diagnosis. Dr. Zippel's meticulous slide review found the tumor was actually benign. He could have taken credit but instead praised the original pathologist's 'understandable oversight.' Pure class.

Teenage patient with lymphoma, Dr. Zippel arranged for treatment schedules around final exams and prom. He understood that beating cancer wasn't just about medicine but preserving normalcy. Even texted me good luck before my chemistry test.

International patient from Ukraine, Dr. Zippel handled all paperwork personally, arranged housing for my family, and found interpreters. His coordinator told me he learned basic Ukrainian phrases to make us feel welcome. Unbelievable dedication.

Clinical trial participant, Dr. Zippel explained every potential outcome with brutal honesty but never without hope. When I developed unusual side effects, he personally monitored me overnight in the ICU. I've never felt safer in my life.

Multiple myeloma patient with complex drug interactions. Dr. Zippel created color-coded medication charts and set up daily reminder calls from his team. His system prevented three potential adverse reactions in the first month alone.

Family conference where Dr. Zippel used 3D tumor models to show exactly how the radiation would target cancer while sparing healthy tissue. He answered my engineer husband's technical questions for an hour without once looking at the clock.
