Dr. Chezar is an amazing person, a very professional doctor who cares about his patients. He makes sure to explain everything, to check that everything is understood and that there are no worries, problems or questions. His manner is very warm and reassuring, especially in those stressful moments before going into the operating room. After the operation, too, he came by several times, caring and asking how I was. I had no surprises at all, because he made sure to explain and prepare everything in advance. I wish other doctors would learn from him what human relations are.

Yoav · · DocAdvisor translated from Hebrew

10/10 · Excellent

I have never in my life come across such a good doctor: professional, courteous, explains everything – what happened and also what will happen after the operation. I received precise instructions on how to behave and what to do after the operation until full recovery. He also gave the physiotherapists precise instructions on how to treat me and what to do, step by step. Dr. Avi Chezar, I am glad I came to you, and I came to you only because of reviews like these from people you have treated. To Dr. Avi Chezar and the whole team – thank you very much.

I have nothing to add. I received excellent service from the whole team, and all the more so from my doctor, Dr. Avi Chezar: a true professional, to the point, caring, and he answers me on his mobile after the operation when I have questions.

Roni · · DocAdvisor translated from Hebrew

A courteous doctor who understands the patient's heart, with the patience to explain what the treatment will be and afterwards what was done in the operation. Dr. Chezar even came to visit outside working hours to make sure I was well.

A pleasant, courteous, available, professional doctor, and truly the best there is. I chose him and waited two months for him to be available because of his skill and professionalism.

10/10 · Excellent

A professional, to-the-point, organized doctor, always available – any question you send him, he replies within a short time. He gave me a great deal of confidence before the operation and going into it. The office works excellently, is always available, and calls you back if they didn't answer when you rang. In summary, many thanks to Dr. Avi Chezar for the devoted and professional treatment.
