Medical consultation and psychotherapy in English
Office consultations, home, and hotel visits, medical psychotherapy, and medical paperwork. Here is what the practice offers, and what each visit costs.
Office consultations
The heart of the practice: a calm, unhurried medical appointment at the clinic in Zichron Yaakov — diagnostic assessment, treatment, and a clear plan for what comes next.
What it includes
- Diagnostic assessment and treatment of acute or chronic medical conditions
- Follow-up when you need to review progress or results
- Prescriptions, private specialist referral suggestions when appropriate, and test results explained clearly
Who it's for
Anyone looking for a careful medical consultation in English.
Home visits
A full medical visit in your own home, in Zichron Yaakov and the surrounding area — with the same thoroughness and attention as at the clinic. The listed fee is a starting price; the final fee depends on distance and is confirmed when you book.
What it includes
- Examination, diagnosis, and treatment at home
- Prescriptions and private specialist referral suggestions when appropriate
- Guidance for family members and caregivers
Who it's for
For patient convenience as well as frail people, patients recovering after a hospital stay, and anyone for whom leaving home is hard.
Hotel & tourist visits

- A medical note if you need one — included in the visit
Who it's for
Tourists, overseas visitors, and anyone staying in the area without a local doctor.

- A physician who practices psychotherapy — and can prescribe medication when needed
- An option that can reduce the wait many people face for psychiatric care

A medical note or a renewal of a regular prescription, handled promptly and properly. When it is part of a visit, there is no extra charge.
What it includes
- Renewal of ongoing prescriptions
- Medical notes and certificates

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about language, psychotherapy, urgent appointments, payment, and more. Didn't find yours? Call or write to us.
Is there an English-speaking doctor in Zichron Yaakov?
Yes. Dr. Mark Silverman, MD is a native English speaker who practiced in Toronto, Canada for over 40 years. He sees patients in English at his private clinic in Zichron Yaakov (also spelled Zikhron Ya'akov or Zichron Ya'acov), and can also come to your home or hotel.
What language are visits in?
English — Dr. Silverman's native language; he practiced in Toronto for over 40 years. His Hebrew is basic, so simple matters can be handled in Hebrew. If you prefer Hebrew, you are welcome to bring a family member to help translate.
How is medical psychotherapy different from seeing a psychiatrist?
Dr. Silverman is a physician who practices psychotherapy. He can see someone who might otherwise wait for a psychiatrist, prescribe medication when needed, and often offer a shorter wait than a psychiatry referral. He works privately and is not a hospital psychiatrist.
Can I get a same-day appointment for something urgent?
For urgent problems, call or send a WhatsApp message in the morning to 055-771-4459 — the schedule keeps room for urgent visits whenever possible. In a medical emergency, always call 101 (Magen David Adom) first.
Where do you do home visits?
Home visits take place in Zichron Yaakov and nearby communities — such as Binyamina, Bat Shlomo, Givat Ada, and Caesarea. The fee starts at the listed price, depends on distance, and is confirmed when you book. Visitors staying at a hotel, zimmer, or vacation rental can book a hotel visit the same way.
I'm visiting Israel — can I see a doctor in English?
Yes. Tourists and overseas visitors are welcome. Dr. Silverman can see you at the clinic or come to your hotel, zimmer, or vacation rental in Zichron Yaakov and the surrounding area. You can pay with an Israeli or international card; keep your receipt for your travel-insurance claim.
How do I pay?
You can pay at the clinic or securely through the online payment page on this site. The exact fee is confirmed with you in advance, when you book.
Do you work with the kupot holim?
The clinic is private, so visits are paid for privately. Depending on your supplementary or travel insurance, your insurer may reimburse all or part of the cost — check with them and keep your receipt. Referral suggestions from this clinic are to private specialists, not through the public kupat holim network.
Can I see the doctor outside clinic hours?
Yes — after-hours and night visits can be arranged by phone, for an additional fee. Call 055-771-4459 and we will find a time. In a medical emergency, always call 101 (Magen David Adom) or go to the nearest emergency room.
