Dr. Yisgav Shapira Reviews

As a professional singer, I was devastated by vocal nodules. Dr. Shapira didn't just treat them - he collaborated with a voice coach to create a holistic recovery plan. I'm back on stage with better technique than before!

Emergency tracheotomy on my elderly mother was performed with such speed and confidence it felt like watching a military operation. Dr. Shapira's team moved like a perfectly synchronized unit, saving her life without a moment's hesitation.

As an 82-year-old with chronic sinus issues, Dr. Shapira's gentle approach during my nasal endoscopy was remarkable. He explained each step in his calm voice and actually made me laugh when he compared my sinuses to 'ancient Roman aqueducts that just need cleaning.' My breathing hasn't been this clear in decades!

Our 4-year-old was terrified of doctors until Dr. Shapira. He knelt down to her level, showed her the otoscope with a story about 'looking for bunnies in ears,' and had her giggling throughout the entire ear infection examination. She actually asked when we could visit him again!

Rushed to Sheba's ER at 2 AM with a fishbone stuck in my throat, Dr. Shapira performed the removal with such precision I barely felt anything. What impressed me most was how he stayed afterward to ensure I understood proper first aid for future incidents - true dedication beyond the emergency.

After years of misdiagnosed vertigo, Dr. Shapira identified it as BPPV during a routine checkup. His 'Epley maneuver' demonstration felt like magic - my world stopped spinning instantly. He even taught my husband how to do it at home if needed.

Complex thyroid surgery left me anxious about vocal cord damage, but Dr. Shapira's innovative nerve monitoring technique preserved my voice perfectly. His post-op visits included vocal exercises that felt more like singing lessons than medical treatment.

Follow-up visit for my son's tonsillectomy: Dr. Shapira remembered his favorite soccer team and brought him a small team badge. The personal touch made a scary recovery feel like visiting a friend who just happens to be a brilliant surgeon.

Routine hearing test turned into a fascinating lesson about how the ear processes sound. Dr. Shapira drew diagrams showing how different frequencies travel, making what could be boring into something genuinely interesting.

My teenager's chronic nosebleeds were solved not with medication, but with Dr. Shapira's clever cauterization technique using silver nitrate. The procedure took minutes, and he joked that my son's nose was now 'fortified like a medieval castle.'

Post-cancer laryngectomy follow-up: Dr. Shapira spent two hours teaching me esophageal speech, patient beyond measure. When I produced my first recognizable word, he cheered louder than my family had!

Discovered my rare cholesteatoma during what I thought was a simple earwax removal. Dr. Shapira's early detection and meticulous surgery prevented what could have been serious complications. His detailed explanation using 3D ear models was incredible.

Brought my infant for a tongue-tie revision - Dr. Shapira performed the frenotomy so quickly the baby barely cried. His advice on post-procedure breastfeeding positions was more helpful than any lactation consultant we'd seen.

Emergency foreign body removal from a child's nose (a LEGO piece, because of course). Dr. Shapira turned it into a game, having the child 'blow the rocket ship out of their nose' rather than using instruments. Pure genius with pediatric patients!
