Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old with complex postmenopausal bleeding, I was terrified of another dismissive doctor. Dr. Rabinovici spent an hour explaining my options, performed a delicate hysteroscopy himself, and called me with results on a Saturday. His compassion made me feel like his only patient.
Our 13-year-old daughter was diagnosed with severe endometriosis after years of being told it was 'normal cramps.' Dr. Rabinoviti created a teen-friendly treatment plan involving minimal scarring surgery and pelvic floor therapy. He even used dinosaur analogies to explain the procedure - she actually smiled before surgery!
Rushed to Sheba at 32 weeks with placental abruption, everything was chaos until Dr. Rabinovici took charge. His calm demeanor during the emergency C-section saved both me and my baby. He visited us daily in NICU, remembering small details about our family each time.
After three miscarriages, I approached my routine preconception consultation with dread. Dr. Rabinovici reviewed my entire history, ordered innovative genetic testing I'd never heard of, and created a personalized protocol. I'm now 16 weeks pregnant with twins - his meticulous approach made the difference.
My complex fibroid removal required a robotic approach that Dr. Rabinovici pioneered at Sheba. He drew me diagrams of the procedure, explained every instrument, and even showed me the console he'd be using. The recovery was half what I expected - I was back teaching yoga in two weeks.
As a ******* man seeking hysterectomy, I expected discomfort at a women's hospital. Dr. Rabinovici immediately used my correct pronouns, adapted all forms, and collaborated with my endocrinologist. His respect for my identity while providing exceptional surgical care was life-changing.
Follow-up for abnormal Pap smear turned into a whirlwind when Dr. Rabinovici spotted early-stage cervical cancer. His team coordinated same-day consultations with oncology, and he personally walked me to each appointment. Two years cancer-free thanks to his vigilance.
My intellectually disabled daughter needed gynecological care, and other doctors rushed through exams. Dr. Rabinovici scheduled extra time, used picture boards to explain everything, and involved her support worker in every decision. He treated her with dignity so many others deny.
Emergency ovarian torsion at 2 AM - Dr. Rabinovici came in from home and performed laparoscopic surgery that saved my ovary. What impressed me most was his post-op explanation: he used my phone photos to show exactly what he found and repaired. No medical jargon, just clarity.
Seeking second opinion after being told I needed full hysterectomy at 35, Dr. Rabinovici reviewed my scans and found a conservative alternative. Three years later, my condition is managed with minimal intervention and I've preserved my fertility options. His innovative thinking gave me choices.
Postmenopausal with severe pelvic organ prolapse, I was embarrassed to even discuss it. Dr. Rabinovici normalized my concerns, demonstrated different pessaries until we found the perfect fit, and never once made me feel uncomfortable about age-related changes.
Routine fertility workup revealed unexpected uterine anomalies. Instead of jumping to surgery, Dr. Rabinovici designed a three-month monitoring plan with 3D ultrasounds. Turned out I didn't need intervention after all - his conservative approach saved me from unnecessary procedures.
Adopted from overseas with unknown medical history, I needed genetic counseling and screening. Dr. Rabinovici connected me with specialists worldwide, helped interpret conflicting information, and created a personalized surveillance plan that addressed my unique anxieties about hereditary risks.
