With age comes wisdom, memories, and often a complex web of medical concerns.
You might be managing a cabinet full of medications and wondering if they’re still right for you. That’s why, when we meet, I don’t just focus on symptoms and diagnoses—I take the time to see the whole person behind them. Together, we’ll create a personalized care plan shaped by your story, values, and goals.
No matter how complex your situation, you’re in caring and capable hands.
About Me
I am a Senior Specialist in Geriatric Medicine, with additional certification in Psychogeriatrics from Tel Aviv University. I am also a Senior Specialist in Internal Medicine at the Consultative Internal Medicine Department at Ichilov Hospital. During the pandemic, I set up and headed one of the hospital’s first COVID-19 wards.
I graduated with honors in medicine from the University of London, and completed my geriatric fellowship at Ichilov Hospital with distinction.
I have over two decades of experience diagnosing and managing patients with complex medical conditions, providing ongoing care that spans years and demands thoughtful adaptation to changing needs. I conduct expert cognitive and functional assessments for older adults and am trained in geriatric neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation.
My approach is guided by a clear understanding of the interconnectedness of mind and body, ensuring comprehensive and thoughtful care. Beyond clinical care, I lead the mindfulness program for medical staff at Ichilov Hospital and serve as an academic lecturer for healthcare professionals. I am fluent in Hebrew, English, and French.
If you’re navigating care for aging parents or loved ones, I understand the delicate balance it requires.
Supporting them while facing the realities of aging can be both a privilege and a challenge. Having walked this path myself, I know how important it is to have a compassionate, skilled doctor to manage their care needs with clarity and respect.
Let’s work together to create the best possible journey for you and your loved ones.
Ayala Ziv - Service Coordinator
Hello, I’m Ayala.
As the daughter of elderly parents, I understand both the challenges and beautiful moments this stage of life brings. I believe this is our time, as children, to care for our parents as they once cared for us, and to make the most of this precious period.
From a young age, I was deeply involved in community service, with a special place in my heart for older adults. Providing excellent service is more than a job, it's my calling, and it brings me great joy and fulfillment.
When you contact us, I'll have an initial conversation with you to understand your needs and explain our process. From there on, I'll assist you and make sure everything runs smoothly.
With a Master's degree in Chemistry from Ben-Gurion University and as a wife and a mother of two, I bring both analytical thinking and sensitivity to supporting your family.
Testimonials
I believe medicine is about more than treating symptoms—it's about connecting with people. Each patient is unique, and effective care comes from listening closely and understanding their individual needs.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that the best outcomes arise from a balanced approach, combining a broad perspective with close attention to detail. This approach helps me provide personalized, precise treatment to each of my patients.
I strive to offer compassionate, respectful care that considers not only the medical but also the psychological and environmental factors impacting each individual’s health. I’m dedicated to building genuine and trusting relationships with my patients and their families, giving them the guidance and tools to navigate health challenges with confidence and dignity, while always prioritizing the best possible quality of life.
Expert, personalized geriatric care enhances your quality of life, and provides lasting peace of mind for you and your loved ones
