Patient Experience
My 82-year-old mother was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and we were terrified. Dr. Kenet didn't just treat her blood disorder - she treated our entire family with compassion. She explained everything in simple terms, created a gentle treatment plan that considered my mother's frailty, and even called us personally with test results. Mom's quality of life improved dramatically under her care.
When our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with ITP, we were panicked. Dr. Kenet was our rock - she knelt down to talk to our daughter at eye level, used stuffed animals to explain platelets, and made the hospital feel less scary. Her follow-up care has been exceptional, and our daughter now calls her 'the nice blood doctor'.
Rushed to Sheba with unexplained internal bleeding, I was terrified. Dr. Kenet took over my emergency care at 2 AM - her calm expertise was incredible. She diagnosed my rare clotting disorder within hours and stabilized me. Her team worked like a well-oiled machine during the crisis.
As a leukemia survivor, I've had many hematologists, but none like Dr. Kenet. During my routine checkup, she noticed subtle changes others might have missed. Her attention to detail and thorough questioning probably saved me from a relapse. She remembers everything about my case without looking at notes.
My bone marrow transplant was the most complex medical experience of my life. Dr. Kenet guided me through every step - from preparation to recovery. She was available day and night, answered all my anxious questions, and celebrated each small victory with me. Her surgical team was magnificent.
I came to Dr. Kenet for a second opinion about my polycythemia vera. She spent two hours reviewing my records, asked insightful questions, and proposed a completely different treatment approach. Six months later, my symptoms have dramatically improved. She's brilliant but never arrogant.
Following up after my hemophilia treatment, Dr. Kenet noticed I was struggling with the emotional aspect of chronic illness. She connected me with support resources and checked in personally between appointments. She treats the whole person, not just the blood disorder.
My teenage son was diagnosed with sickle cell crisis during a family vacation in Israel. Dr. Kenet took over his care at Sheba and was phenomenal - she managed his pain effectively, explained everything to him directly (not just to us parents), and coordinated with his home hematologist in the States.
As an elderly patient with anemia, I'd seen several doctors who dismissed my fatigue as 'just aging.' Dr. Kenet actually listened, ordered comprehensive tests, and discovered a treatable condition. She restored my energy and my faith in medicine.
During my follow-up for lymphoma remission, Dr. Kenet noticed I was anxious about every little symptom. Instead of dismissing my concerns, she created a 'symptom checklist' that helped me distinguish between normal feelings and concerning signs. Her empathy is as strong as her medical knowledge.
My husband's rare blood disorder required complex medication management. Dr. Kenet created detailed charts, coordinated with multiple specialists, and even helped us navigate insurance issues. Her organizational skills are as impressive as her medical expertise.
I brought my mother-in-law who only speaks Romanian to her appointment. Dr. Kenet used translation services patiently, drew diagrams to explain the treatment, and made sure she understood completely. Her cultural sensitivity was remarkable.
After years of struggling with unexplained bruising, Dr. Kenet diagnosed my platelet function disorder. Her systematic approach and willingness to investigate beyond obvious answers changed my life. She's both detective and healer.
