Dr. Eldar Carmel Reviews
Patient Experience
Dr. Carmel saved my 3-year-old grandson after he swallowed a button battery, rushed to Sheba's ER at midnight. Dr. Carmel was calm, decisive, and explained everything to our panicked family while coordinating the endoscopic removal. Forever grateful!
Our 10-year-old with cystic fibrosis has seen many specialists, but none like Dr. Carmel. He remembers tiny details from visits six months ago, adjusts treatments based on her mood that day, and even makes her laugh with silly animal impressions during exams.
As a retired nurse, I’m picky about doctors, but Dr. Carmel’s care for my immunocompromised 70-year-old sister (under his pediatric care since childhood) is exceptional. He still manages her rare condition with innovative approaches and genuine compassion.
Routine checkup for my 5-year-old turned into a life-changing moment, Dr. Carmel detected a subtle heart murmur others had missed. His referral to a cardiologist led to early intervention for a congenital defect. He’s thorough beyond words.
Post-op follow-up for my daughter’s spinal surgery: Dr. Carmel visited her daily at Sheba, even on weekends. He drew diagrams to show how her fusion was healing and calmed her fears with stories of other kids who’d bounced back stronger.
Emergency appendectomy at 2 AM, Dr. Carmel handled our terrified 8-year-old with such warmth. He joked about 'evicting the troublemaker appendix' and held her hand until anesthesia kicked in. Surgery was flawless; recovery faster than expected.
Complex case: Our newborn with tracheoesophageal fistula. Dr. Carmel coordinated a multi-team surgery, updated us hourly, and cried with us when he announced success. Three years later, he still celebrates every milestone with our family.
Teenager with severe social anxiety hated doctors until Dr. Carmel. He spent the first visit just chatting about video games, earned her trust, and now she actually looks forward to appointments. He’s a master at connecting with kids.
Follow-up for asthma management: Dr. Carmel created a personalized action plan with color-coded charts for my 7-year-old. He even called us on a Sunday to adjust meds after a pollen alert. Proactive doesn’t begin to cover it.
Elderly grandmother brought her 12-year-old grandson (her primary caregiver) for fatigue. Dr. Carmel spotted signs of caregiver stress in the boy and arranged support services for both, went far beyond medical duty.
Rare genetic disorder diagnosis: Dr. Carmel spent hours with us explaining the science in simple terms, connected us with global experts, and still checks in monthly just to see how we’re coping emotionally. A true healer.
My toddler swallowed a LEGO, Dr. Carmel managed to extract it without surgery using a technique he’d read about in a recent journal. He’s not just skilled; he’s constantly learning and applying new knowledge.
After a severe allergic reaction, Dr. Carmel taught our whole family to use epinephrine pens using a practice trainer. He made us rehearse until we were confident. His preparedness saved us during a second incident weeks later.
For a child with chronic pain, Dr. Carmel integrated music therapy into treatment after noticing her response to songs he hummed during exams. Now she uses playlists to manage flare-ups, brilliant and empathetic.
