When to see a private gynecologist

Most women have routine follow-up with a gynecologist at their health fund (kupat holim). A private subspecialist makes sense when a question calls for focused experience, when the public waiting time is too long for the urgency, or when you want a second opinion before a decision. Situations where a consultation is worthwhile:

  • High-risk pregnancy: gestational diabetes, high blood pressure or preeclampsia, a multiple pregnancy, pregnancy after age 40, or an underlying maternal condition.
  • An early anatomy scan (weeks 14-16) or a late anatomy scan (weeks 22-24) with an ultrasound specialist, and a referral for fetal echocardiography when indicated.
  • A finding on a scan or genetic test that requires a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist.
  • Chronic pelvic pain, severe period pain or pain during intercourse that raises suspicion of endometriosis.
  • Difficulty conceiving after a year of trying (six months over age 35), or the need for support through IVF.
  • Irregular bleeding, bleeding after menopause, or an ovarian or uterine finding on imaging.
  • An abnormal Pap smear or HPV result, or the need for a colposcopy.
  • Urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse or pelvic floor problems after childbirth.
  • Menopause symptoms: hot flashes, sleep disturbance, dryness, mood changes, and questions about hormone therapy.
  • A family history of breast or ovarian cancer that calls for hereditary risk assessment.

Heavy bleeding in pregnancy, sharp abdominal pain or reduced fetal movement require going straight to the women's emergency room, not a scheduled consultation.

What the consultation at EliteMed includes

The consultation is with the senior physician in the relevant subspecialty, not a general gynecologist. The doctor reviews your history and previous test and scan results, performs an examination and a gynecological or obstetric ultrasound when needed, and sets out a plan: follow-up, further tests, medication, referral for surgery, or support through a fertility process. Anatomy scans are performed at the center on high-resolution ultrasound equipment.

What sets the center apart:

  • A subspecialist for every need. High-risk pregnancy with the head of an MFM unit, endometriosis with a professor who specializes in it, scans with an ultrasound specialist, oncology with gynecologic oncologists from Shaare Zedek and Sheba.
  • A private, discreet setting. The visit takes as long as it needs, in a private consulting room, without the bustle of a public clinic.
  • No public-system waiting. A gynecologist appointment is usually available within days, and for anatomy scans and urgent cases there is a 24-48 hour track.
  • No referral. Private consultations need no referral. Bring your pregnancy follow-up booklet, scan and genetic test results, and previous Pap and ultrasound reports.
  • A multidisciplinary center. Breast imaging and biopsies with the ultrasound unit, and hormonal balance with endocrinology, all in the same building.
  • Insurance. Consultations and tests qualify as private specialist consultations and are reimbursable under most private policies (Harel, Phoenix, Menora and others) and health-fund supplementary plans, subject to policy terms.

Private Specialist Reproductive Services

High-Risk Pregnancy (MFM)

Comprehensive maternal-fetal medicine follow-up for pregnancies with gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, multiple fetuses, a complex medical background or a previous obstetric history, led by the head of an MFM unit.

Prenatal Anatomy Scans

Early anatomy scan, late anatomy scan and nuchal translucency on high-resolution ultrasound, performed by an obstetric ultrasound specialist from Shaare Zedek, with a detailed explanation of the findings during the examination.

Endometriosis Hub, Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Floor

Diagnosis and consultation for endometriosis, adenomyosis and chronic pelvic pain, including planning of medical or surgical treatment, led by Prof. Alex Perl. Urogynecology for urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse and postpartum pelvic floor problems, with conservative care, pelvic floor physiotherapy and surgical solutions.

Complex Fertility (IVF), Hormonal Health and Menopause

Couples' infertility work-up, pre-treatment counselling and support through IVF programs by senior specialists, with a personalized approach and coordination with endocrinology, including hormonal evaluation for women. Menopause consultation: symptoms, hormone therapy or non-hormonal alternatives, and follow-up of bone and heart health after periods stop.

Gynecological Malignancies and Breast Imaging

Assessment of suspicious findings in the uterus, ovaries and cervix, hereditary risk assessment and oncological surgical planning by senior gynecologic oncologists from Shaare Zedek and Sheba. Breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided biopsies are coordinated with the center's imaging unit.

Preparing for the visit and what happens afterwards

For an obstetric visit, bring your pregnancy follow-up booklet, scan and genetic test results and recent blood tests. For a gynecological visit, bring Pap or HPV results, previous ultrasound reports and a description of your cycle in recent months. For a fertility work-up, bring your partner's test results too. At the end of the visit you receive a written summary with the findings, recommendations and next steps: follow-up, further tests, medication, or scheduling surgery at the hospital where the doctor operates. Anatomy scan results are given at the end of the examination with a detailed explanation and, with your consent, are also sent to your regular gynecologist.

Gynecologist in Modi'in: choosing the right specialist for your question

The search for a gynecologist in Modi'in usually starts from a specific need: a pregnancy classified as high risk, an anatomy scan you want done by an expert, period pain that does not settle, or a question about menopause. At EliteMed there is no single general gynecologist for every question, but ten senior physicians, each in their own sub-specialty, at the Ayala 360 Center in Modi'in. The right choice follows the question, and the scheduling team directs you to the matching specialist.

In pregnancy, the difference between routine follow-up and follow-up with a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist is experience with complex situations: gestational diabetes, hypertension, multiple pregnancy or a maternal medical condition. Early and late anatomy scans are performed at the centre on high-resolution equipment, with an explanation during the scan, and can be combined with routine follow-up at the health fund. Scans and urgent cases have a track within 24 to 48 hours.

In gynecology, chronic pelvic pain, severe period pain and difficulty conceiving call for a physician who specialises in endometriosis and fertility, not another routine visit. Irregular bleeding, an ovarian or uterine finding, an abnormal Pap result or a family history of breast and ovarian cancer are assessed by gynecologic oncologists, and urinary leakage or prolapse after childbirth by a urogynecology specialist. Menopause symptoms and questions about hormone therapy get a structured, individual answer rather than a one-size solution.

The visit takes place in a private consulting room, lasts as long as needed, and includes an examination and a gynecological or obstetric ultrasound when required. You leave with a written summary to continue with your regular gynecologist, and when surgery is needed the physician operates at the hospital where he or she practises. No referral is needed, and most private insurance policies and supplementary plans recognise the consultation and the scans as a private specialist consultation, subject to policy terms.

The multidisciplinary centre lets you complete the work-up in the same building: cardiac questions in pregnancy with a private cardiologist in Modi'in, follow-up of the newborn and children with the pediatric specialists in Modi'in, and hormonal migraine or headaches in pregnancy with a private neurologist in Modi'in.

Medical FAQ & High-Risk Pregnancy Guidance

What counts as a high-risk pregnancy and who follows it?

A high-risk pregnancy involves gestational diabetes, high blood pressure or preeclampsia, multiple fetuses, an underlying maternal condition, older maternal age or a complex obstetric history. Follow-up is with a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist. At EliteMed the service is led by Dr. Shira Fishman, working alongside the patient's regular gynecologist.

In which week is the anatomy scan done, and is it performed at the center?

The early anatomy scan is done in weeks 14-16 and the late scan in weeks 22-24. Both are performed at EliteMed in Modi'in by Dr. Misgav Rottenstreich and the specialist team on high-resolution ultrasound, with the findings explained during the examination. Nuchal translucency can also be scheduled.

How does private pregnancy follow-up differ from the health fund?

Health-fund follow-up covers the routine tests in the Ministry of Health schedule. Private follow-up adds time: longer visits, the same doctor throughout, availability for questions, and fast access to an MFM specialist if a complication appears. Many women combine both: routine care at the health fund and private consultations at decision points or in a high-risk pregnancy.

Who should I see if I suspect endometriosis?

When severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse or difficulty conceiving persist, see a gynecologist who specializes in endometriosis. Diagnosis combines a detailed history, examination and dedicated ultrasound, sometimes MRI. At EliteMed the field is led by Prof. Alex Perl of Sheba, and treatment may be medical, surgical or combined with fertility treatment.

When should I seek a fertility consultation?

After a year of trying without a pregnancy, or after six months if the woman is over 35. Recurrent miscarriage, irregular cycles, known endometriosis or a wish to preserve fertility also justify an early consultation. The work-up covers both partners, and the center's fertility specialists also support IVF programs carried out in hospital units.

Do I need a referral for a private gynecologist, and what should I bring?

No referral is needed. Bring your pregnancy follow-up booklet, scan results, genetic and blood tests, recent Pap or HPV results, previous gynecological ultrasound reports and a list of medications. For a fertility work-up, bring your partner's test results as well, if they have been done.

How much does a private gynecologist cost, and does insurance cover it?

The fee is given when you book, before the visit, and depends on the type of visit: consultation, anatomy scan, ultrasound or follow-up. Consultations and tests are reimbursable as private specialist consultations under most private policies and health-fund supplementary plans, subject to policy terms. The center provides an invoice and a medical summary for your claim.

Where is the center and how do I get there?

EliteMed is at the Ispro Center, Ayala 360 Complex, 21 HaMelachot Street, Building B, Floor 5, Modi'in.
