From the first day I was introduced to Dr Fabian he has handled my medical situation with the utmost sincerity and honesty and with absolute efficiency and clarity. Although it is human nature for a patient to over analyze and focus energy in the wrong direction, Dr Fabian provided a clear and stable platform in which all aspects could be understood and followed. The manner in which Dr Fabian provided support and understanding gave me a means to get through a horrific period of ambiguity and disbelief. I wish for all patients regardless of ailments that they may receive the medical support and care I have been so lucky to have received from Dr Fabian and his staff.

My vision decreased in my right eye, and after visited a number of eye clinics, I went to Dr. Fabian of the ocular oncology service at Sheba Medical Center. After a thorough check and several additional scans, he confirmed a diagnosis of melanoma inside my eye. At a time of uncertainty and fear, he was available for any question and helped me reach a decision about what kind of treatment to pursue. Shortly after the diagnosis, I was operated on (plaque brachytherapy). In the midst of all the emotional chaos, I found lots of compassion, calm and humanity in Dr. Fabian, along with his professionalism and knowledge. On the difficult journey that I had to go through, Dr. Fabian’s presence gave me a lot of strength.

Dr. Fabian is treating my daughter with a rare combination of sensitivity, dedication and professionalism and is doing everything in his power to make a difficult period in the hospital, which can be long and stressful, pleasant and agreeable.

Dr. Fabian diagnosed and removed a growth that was found in my eye. His treatment was professional and effective, and the results were excellent. He treated me kindly and respectfully, speaking simply and unpretentiously, and he kept me involved in the process, and when I lay on the operating table, I felt that I was in the best hands possible.
