About the clinic
The Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, offers comprehensive diagnostics for leukoplakia of the bladder. Patients have access to a range of tests, from a $250 complete blood count to a $650 ultrasound and a $2,870 diagnostic cystoscopy. The urology department is led by fellowship-trained Dr. Yariv Shtabholz, who completed advanced training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Diagnosing the condition correctly is the essential first step. The clinic's specialists begin with a detailed consultation. They perform laboratory and imaging tests to assess the urinary tract thoroughly.
Diagnostic Procedures
The diagnostic process includes several key steps:
- Urology Consultation: An initial evaluation with Dr. Yariv Shtabholz typically costs around $750.
- Laboratory Tests: A complete blood count and biochemical analysis runs about $250. Urinalysis and culture to check for infection may cost around $290.
- Imaging: An ultrasound of the kidneys and urinary system provides visual assessment for around $650.
- Direct Visualization: A diagnostic cystoscopy allows the doctor to look inside the bladder. This procedure typically runs $2,870.
This sequence helps create a precise picture of the bladder's condition. The head of the functional urology department, Dr. Shtabholz, has six years of specialized experience. His background includes honors from Ben-Gurion University and a prestigious fellowship in the United States.
The medical center operates with JCI accreditation, a global mark of quality. It is consistently ranked among popular hospitals for international patients. The facility supports travelers with complimentary airport transfers and multilingual representatives. This makes the diagnostic journey more comfortable for those coming from abroad.
Understanding your specific condition is the foundation for any effective treatment plan.

When I think about what could have been better, honestly, nothing comes to mind
My biggest fear before this trip was facing the unknown of a brain cancer diagnosis while navigating a complex medical system in another country. I was worried about logistics and the quality of care. However, the process was smoother than I had anticipated. The support I received made a significant difference. My Bookimed coordinator was always eager to help, which eased a lot of the logistical stress that comes with arranging everything from afar. The surgeon was exceptional, and I felt a sense of confidence in their approach. When I think about what could have been better, honestly, nothing comes to mind. I am now in the early stages of recovery, and looking back, I feel the decision to seek treatment here was the correct one for me. The entire journey was handled with professionalism.

Good day! I visited this medical center only twice for blood tests, waiting for 1 hour the first time and 30 minutes the second time, despite being the only patient. All other actions, including a doctor's consultation, took place elsewhere, so based on the above, it's difficult for me to give a different assessment. Regarding the doctor, I was assigned a different doctor than initially stated. I have no information about the current attending physician, so I request that data be provided if possible. The doctor's conclusion, by the way, was not on Ichilov letterhead but on a regular sheet of paper, and it contained different prescriptions than those eventually given. There were no explanations from the doctor regarding the side effects of the medications (and I traveled there because your specialist stated that the medication was used without side effects, which was key for me), which were ultimately prescribed and contain quite strong side effects.

Good day, Elena. Thank you for your detailed feedback. We always thoroughly analyze patient inquiries to address each unique situation.
Allow me to comment on the key aspects of your visit, as in this case, the treatment organization process had specific requirements:
Your examination required a strictly defined specialized preparation by the department and adherence to special medical safety protocols. The preparation of the office and equipment for your appointment took additional time, which led to the delay. We apologize for the wait; however, these measures were dictated by a commitment to safety standards.
The entire planned complex of advanced diagnostic procedures was fully completed for you. The specifics of your treatment protocol involve engaging specialized experts and laboratory resources across different clinical bases.
Your therapy was selected collaboratively based on detailed analysis results obtained directly during the examination. Final prescriptions were adjusted by a council of leading specialists to ensure the treatment is as effective and safe as possible for your individual clinical situation. Any potent medications require strict control, and we are ready to provide you once again with your attending physician's summary, as well as detailed explanations regarding the administration schedule. We wish you good health and a successful therapy.

I am very satisfied with the outcome of the surgery; it is the best possible result that could have been achieved
What I appreciated the most was the support from coordinator Sergey and the clinic's representative, Denis. They assisted me with different questions and situations. They created an easy, pleasant, and friendly atmosphere. After the surgery, Denis helped purchase the necessary medications and always organized my transport from the clinic to home. He also assisted with currency exchange locations.

We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us
We received a detailed consultation with Dr. Pelles Sharon and her assistant Denis. They explained everything, gave me a treatment plan, and the doctor was very attentive to details. We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us. I would also like to note the work of the coordinator, Yulia. A very sensitive, empathetic specialist, she was able to organize everything quickly. Thanks a lot!

Service at the highest level
Service at the highest level. The doctor took exactly at the appointed time and spent about an hour. The problem was studied comprehensively and, as a result, logical recommendations were received and the doctor prescribed treatment. Accompanying Denis has extensive experience and a very interesting interlocutor. You have a good team! Well done!
