About the clinic

Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, provides specialized care for osteoarthritis using robotic-assisted technologies and advanced imaging. Diagnostics for the condition typically run around $500 for a CT scan, while MRI scans of specific areas are around $1,400. This JCI-accredited facility is the largest private medical complex in the country and performs over 110,000 surgeries every year.

Diagnostic options for osteoarthritis

The clinic uses high-resolution imaging to determine the extent of joint wear and inflammation. Accurate staging of the disease helps doctors decide between conservative therapy and surgical intervention. Patients have access to the following tests:

CT (computer tomography). This scan may cost around $500 and provides detailed images of bone structures.
MRI of the spine cord. This imaging is used for spinal osteoarthritis and typically runs $900–$1,500.
MRI of one area. A focused scan of a single joint, such as the knee or hip, is around $1,400.
PET-CT. This advanced imaging helps identify metabolic activity and inflammation in the joints.

Treatment and surgical procedures

The orthopedic department handles 115,000 surgeries annually, often using minimally invasive techniques to shorten recovery times. Treatment for osteoarthritis at the clinic is managed by specialists like Dr. Gadi Kahn. Dr. Kahn has over 20 years of experience in knee orthopedics and arthroscopy, with fellowship training from Sunnybrook Hospital in Canada.

The facility offers several paths for managing joint degeneration:

Joint replacement surgery. Surgeons perform hip and knee replacements to restore mobility in advanced cases.
Knee arthroscopy. This minimally invasive procedure allows Dr. Kahn to treat joint issues through small incisions.
Radio frequency treatment. A non-surgical option that uses ablation to reduce chronic joint pain without an incision.
Spine surgery. Specialists treat spinal osteoarthritis and disc problems using both open and minimally invasive methods.
Ligament reconstruction. This procedure restores stability to joints affected by wear and injury.
Physiotherapy. Post-operative rehabilitation programs help patients regain strength and function after surgery.

Reply from Avia Piklas

Dear Valentina, We have carefully reviewed your feedback and deeply sympathize with the difficult situation you are in. Undergoing numerous surgeries before reaching out to us and dealing daily with chronic pain syndrome, limited mobility, and the inability to sit is an extremely challenging ordeal that requires tremendous courage. Our goal is to do everything possible to assist patients in the most complex and unconventional medical cases. That's why our team approached the analysis of your situation with the utmost responsibility and involved several leading neurosurgeons in the review of your documents. The initial medical consultation lasted almost two hours, during which the doctor thoroughly examined your medical history. Moreover, the work did not stop there—you sent additional test results, and the doctor continued to review them, providing his expert conclusions. Since you have never undergone an in-person examination in Israel, our specialists were entirely focused on analyzing the documentation you provided, including excerpts from the Chinese clinic. You mention that the exacerbation occurred after painful procedures in China. However, based on the medical data you previously provided, burning symptoms were noted by you even before your trip to China—specifically after the fourth spinal surgery. This is a critical clinical nuance indicating the prolonged and complex nature of the neuropathic pain that has developed over several years. We understand your emotional and physical exhaustion following the traumatic rehabilitation experience in the Chinese hospital and the accompanying painful procedures. Our primary task as specialists was to provide you with the most honest, objective, and safe expert assessment from Israeli neurosurgeons, without giving false promises but also not overlooking any detail from your complex medical history. We sincerely wish you strength, relief from your condition, and finding the optimal approach to managing chronic pain.

Hello, I had 2 melanomas detected, they cut me out, then I found this clinic on the Internet, I applied because I had an ultrasound of the lymph nodes in my groin and under my arm. They met me at the clinic, took me to Dr. Bernstein’s office, and the ultrasound showed good results, thank you very much, good service, I am satisfied.
