What patients like:

  1. Cost.The Craniotomy cost in Israel ranges from $450 to $14000. This is significantly cheaper compared to countries like Singapore where the average cost is around $50,000.
  2. Doctor’s professionalism. Patients appreciate the high level of professionalism displayed by doctors. They are impressed by their ability to communicate effectively in English, and their extensive experience and expertise in Craniotomy.
  3. Service level. The level of service is commendable. Patients are assigned a special person to handle their needs and concerns, making their experience smoother.
  4. Craniotomy efficacy. Patients report a high success rate and faster recovery times than expected, attributing this to the advanced techniques used.
  5. Logistics. The provision of accommodation within the hospital premises for families is a significant advantage. This arrangement eases the logistics involved in seeking treatment abroad.

What patients don't like:

  1. The hospital's location is a concern for some patients. Situated quite far from the city, there are limited good hotels nearby for those who prefer not to stay in the hospital accommodation.
  2. While some nurses can speak English, the language barrier with those who cannot is a challenge for international patients.
  3. Despite the cost being lower than in some countries, the expense of a Craniotomy is still high, making it inaccessible for some patients.

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!
