Patient Experience

Post-bypass follow-up with Dr. Arad felt like catching up with a brilliant friend who remembers your grandkids’ names and your fear of hospitals. He never rushes, even when running late.
Emergency helicopter transfer to Sheba, Dr. Arad met us on the landing pad. His team performed an emergency valve repair with such coordination it felt like a well-rehearsed symphony.
Dr. Arad saved my life during a midnight heart attack, his calm precision in the cath lab made all the difference. I woke up to his reassuring smile explaining the stent placement.
As a new mom, I was terrified when my 8-year-old needed a cardiac workup. Dr. Arad knelt to her eye level, used stuffed animals to explain echocardiograms, and made her giggle through the entire appointment.
Routine checkup turned into a life-changing conversation: Dr. Arad spotted subtle arrhythmia others missed for years. His holistic approach included lifestyle tweaks that actually stuck.
Complex congenital defect repair for my teenager: Dr. Arad sketched the procedure on a napkin, answered every ‘what if’ at 2 AM, and texted updates during the 6-hour surgery himself.
First-time cardiac anxiety had me crying in his office. Dr. Arad didn’t reach for a prescription, he walked me through the science until my panic turned to fascination.
Post-op infection scare had us frantic, but Dr. Arad came in on his day off, still in running clothes, to personally review the cultures and calm our fears with data and empathy.
As an athlete with mysterious chest pains, I saw 5 cardiologists. Dr. Arad diagnosed rare coronary entanglement after one stress test and fixed it with minimally invasive magic.
Follow-up visit after a decade: Dr. Arad recalled my original EKG waveform from memory. His dedication to longitudinal care is something from another era of medicine.
My wife’s high-risk pregnancy required cardiac monitoring, Dr. Arad coordinated with OB/GYN in real-time during delivery, standing by just in case. Our daughter is here because of that vigilance.
Rural patient with limited access: Dr. Arad set up telehealth with our local clinic and taught them how to use the echo machine remotely. He bridges gaps others don’t even see.
End-of-life care for my mother: Dr. Arad helped us navigate palliative options with such grace. He spoke of her heart not as a failing organ, but as a well-loved engine that deserved peace.
