Verified review.
The consultation was a scam, We where advised that the treatment could not be carried in Tel Aviv, albeit previous communications advised it could be. A complete waste of time and expenditure.

Dear Susan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all patient reviews seriously, but we must respectfully clarify the circumstances of your visit, as our medical protocols are guided strictly by patient safety and international clinical standards.
Prior to your travel, our team repeatedly offered you the option of a remote video consultation with the specialist. This was specifically intended to evaluate your current medical status and determine your eligibility for the requested therapy before you made any travel arrangements. However, you chose to decline these virtual consultations and preferred to travel for an in-person assessment.
The specific treatment you inquired about is indeed actively performed at our clinic. However, no medical procedure can be guaranteed or approved without a thorough clinical examination. During your comprehensive consultation—which lasted well over an hour—our specialist meticulously reviewed your case and determined that you did not meet the strict safety and eligibility criteria required for this specific protocol.
Forcing a treatment on a patient who does not meet the clinical criteria would be unethical and medically unsafe. Instead, the physician provided you with an alternative, highly detailed medical recommendation and a positive long-term prognosis for your condition.
We regret that you feel your time was misplaced, but our primary commitment will always be to the health, safety, and medical suitability of our patients rather than performing procedures regardless of clinical indicators. We wish you the very best in your health journey.
