Hello!
My name is Dr. Alex Perel,
MD, expert gynecologist specializing in endoscopic surgery, and treatment of endometriosis and infertility.
I am here to help you!
Senior Specialist at the Multidisciplinary Center for Endometriosis treatment at the Sheba Medical Center, Tel Ha Shomer, Israel.
Senior Lecturer at the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
Three-year fellowship in the Infertility Center at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
One-year fellowship in the Endometriosis Center at IFEM Endo, Bordeaux, France.
I perform all types of gynecological endoscopic surgery, including the most complex endometriosis conditions.
You are welcome to discuss with me any concerns you have about infertility, and I will be pleased to offer you a full array of possible treatments.
But before everything...
I am happy for the opportunity to contribute the clinical knowledge and expertise that came from years of work at the leading medical centers in Israel and abroad, for your health and well-being!
My experience in such wide and diverse fields as infertility and endometriosis allows me to see the healing process from different angles, and suggest an encompassing and integrated approach to achieve your health goals.
I believe in continuity of care, comprising two complementary components: my professional commitment to provide you with a full scope of the most up-to-date medical solutions, and my responsibility as a human being to keep an open channel of communication between you and me throughout the entire process of healing.
One summer day I played street soccer with my children. At some point I dashed to the gate with a ball, facing only the goalie of the opposing team. I ran as fast as I could, and then I tripped and found myself splashed on a hard concrete surface.
At first, I felt no pain, only disappointment (I’m competitive, which is good when you face an intractable medical condition). After a few moments came the sharp pain in my right arm. Upon quick self-examination, I knew I had a shoulder dislocation.
I just started my specialist training in advanced endometriosis surgery, and couldn’t care less for the pain. The only thing that mattered was, is this the end of my career as a surgeon?
Turned out it was a minor dislocation, no fracture. The recovery was quick, and I went back to complete my specialization at IFEM Endo, a world-famous specialty hospital in Bordeaux, France, in advanced surgical interventions in complex endometriosis.
The street soccer mishap taught me that even a small event can turn everything upside down in an instant, overshadowing the life we knew and wanted to have, maybe even spelling an end to our plans and hopes.
What’s more important, that random encounter with severe pain allowed me to get the taste, to a very small degree, of what endometriosis can do to life, turning high hopes into just this, only hopes, impossibly difficult to achieve!
Women with endometriosis often suffer chronic pelvic pain, bleeding, infertility, and ongoing problems with their digestive and urinary systems. It may impact their success in education, from high school with the onset of puberty all the way through higher education. Career, friendships, relationships, family, all can be affected. Endometriosis threatens to seize control of your life and turn it into an ongoing battle with pain and accompanying debilitating conditions.
But the tide can be turned. We can control it, with certain medications, or surgically. This is what I do daily, at the Endometriosis Center at Sheba Medical Center, and in my private practice.
If we have an opportunity to meet, I am hoping I can help you find a way to cope well with this condition and regain your freedom from the constant pain that is overshadowing your daily life. I hope, together we can bring your dreams back.
Imagine this: You’re young and full of “joie de vivre”. Free to travel, sit with your friends over a glass of wine into the night, hop in a car to go and see the sunrise on a seashore, and devote days and nights to a creative or work project close to your heart.
And then you’ve decided that now it’s time to dedicate your resources, emotionally and physically, to caring for another human being, feeding, dressing, and bathing a little helpless baby, to make peace with sleepless nights and piles of laundry. And all this happens to you after nine months of gaining weight, possibly nausea, and countless doctor visits. On top of this, these nine months culminate when you, who was just yesterday a vivacious carefree girl yourself, are battling the pain that you didn’t know was possible.
Most of us accept this challenging scenario with delight. Because these are our children we are talking about!
As an infertility specialist, I had the honor to meet hundreds of women and men for whom bringing a baby into this world was a battle they were committed to fight. I can attest that a child is the most irrational thing we may want and at the same time the most amazing one by far.
As one ancient philosopher put it, children and art make us immortal. I can only add that a child is also an art form, maybe the most beautiful of them all. As an ancient Chinese aphorism goes about the essence of artistic expression, “From Child to Immortality.” In this sense, pregnancy and childbirth, with all their intricacy and demands, are the pinnacle of the creative genius of nature.
But childbearing doesn’t come easy to everyone. More than 10% of couples have difficulty achieving pregnancy within a year of attempts. Some will need minimal medical intervention and a small push in the right direction. Others will need to work harder. Some will need rounds of hormonal and IVF treatments. This is a very effective but demanding process physically and emotionally. The uncertainty, sometimes a sense of disappointment, and a need to summon your courage and determination to start again, cannot be taken lightly. Sometimes it is a long journey.
These are the moments when you need a skilled professional, a specialist who understands every step of the process. You want a doctor at your side with rich experience, who has traveled this path hundreds of times and knows all the medical options and possibilities at hand, some are more known, some are less, some are more advanced, and require a higher level of expertise.
Last but not least, your success on this journey depends on empathy, sensitivity, and feeling that the person by your side is not only an expert professional but also a human being. This is how I see my clinic and my operation theater. I think it’s my moral and professional responsibility to give you emotional security and put all my expertise and experience to your service, to help you to achieve successful pregnancy and birth.
