Our services

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

Feeling unwell on holiday? Dr. Silverman comes to your hotel, zimmer, or vacation rental in Zichron Yaakov and the surrounding wine country — a doctor's visit in English, without leaving your room.

What it includes

  • Examination, diagnosis, and treatment where you are staying
  • Prescriptions issued on the spot when needed
  • 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.

Medical psychotherapy

Talk therapy with a physician: 50-minute sessions in English. As a medical psychotherapist, Dr. Silverman can see someone who might otherwise wait for a psychiatrist — and prescribe medication when needed, often with a shorter wait.

What it includes

  • One-on-one 50-minute sessions, in English
  • A physician who practices psychotherapy — and can prescribe medication when needed
  • An option that can reduce the wait many people face for psychiatric care

Who it's for

Adults who want psychotherapy in English with a doctor who can also prescribe and adjust medications when needed — anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or adjustment challenges.

Medical notes & prescription renewals

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
  • No charge when part of a visit

Who it's for

Patients on regular medication, and anyone who needs a note or a renewal without a full appointment.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about language, psychotherapy, urgent appointments, payment, and more. Didn't find yours? Call or write to us.

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 the surrounding area; 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.

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.
