Pediatric specialists at EliteMed
When to see a private pediatric specialist
Your health-fund pediatrician is the first port of call, and most problems are solved there. A pediatric sub-specialist is justified when the pediatrician recommends a work-up, when the public-system wait is long relative to the concern, or when parents want a senior children's-hospital physician's opinion. It is worth booking when:
- Attention difficulties, restlessness or learning difficulties call for a professional ADHD assessment.
- Developmental delay: the child is not meeting motor, language or social milestones for their age.
- Seizures, recurrent febrile seizures, recurrent headaches or migraine.
- Tics, sleep disorders or sudden behavioral changes.
- Recurrent urinary tract infections, high blood pressure, protein or blood in the urine, or a kidney finding on ultrasound.
- Recurrent abdominal pain, prolonged constipation, suspected celiac disease, infant reflux, or a drop on the growth curve.
- Uncontrolled eczema (atopic dermatitis), complex rashes, or birthmarks that need monitoring.
- Scoliosis, posture problems, limping or recurrent limb pain.
- A heart murmur, fainting or chest pain on exertion (together with pediatric cardiology).
- You want a second opinion before surgery or long-term medication.
A child with shortness of breath, a first seizure, high fever with drowsiness, or a rash that does not fade under pressure needs the pediatric emergency room, not a scheduled visit.
What the consultation at EliteMed includes
The consultation is a long appointment with the senior specialist, with time for parents and child. The doctor reviews the developmental and medical history, kindergarten or school questionnaires and previous tests, examines the child in a calm setting, and reaches a diagnosis or a plan for investigation. For an ADHD assessment, formal medical documentation recognised by the Ministry of Education for accommodations is issued. Imaging or laboratory tests are coordinated with the center's imaging unit or the hospital.
What sets the center apart:
- Specialists from children's hospitals. The neurologists, nephrologist and gastroenterologist head units at Schneider, Sheba and Hadassah, bringing children's-hospital standards to a clinic in Modi'in.
- No public-system waiting lists. A pediatric neurology or ADHD appointment is usually available within days rather than months, with an urgent track within 24-48 hours.
- No referral needed. No referral is required. Bring the Tipat Halav (well-baby clinic) booklet, pediatrician summaries, teacher or kindergarten questionnaires, and previous tests.
- A child-friendly setting. Quiet rooms, flexible visit length, and parents involved in every decision.
- Multi-specialty center. Pediatric gastroenterology, dermatology, orthopedics, endocrinology and cardiology work in the same building, so a complex work-up is completed in one place.
- Insurance. The consultation qualifies as a private specialist consultation, reimbursable under most private policies (Harel, Phoenix, Menora and others), subject to policy terms.
Who it suits: parents looking for a private pediatric specialist in Modi'in for a focused sub-specialist work-up, an ADHD assessment recognised by the school system, or several areas examined in one place. The center serves Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut, Shoham, Hashmonaim, Beit Shemesh and Rishon LeZion.

Preparing for the visit and what happens afterwards
Bring the Tipat Halav booklet, summaries from your pediatrician, kindergarten or school reports, questionnaires completed by teachers, and previous test results (EEG, imaging, blood tests). Tell the child in advance, in simple words, where you are going and why. Parents leave with a written summary: the diagnosis or direction of investigation, treatment recommendations, recommendations for the educational staff, and where needed a detailed referral for further tests or supporting therapies. For an ADHD assessment, the formal documentation required for accommodations is provided. With the parents' consent, the summary is also sent to the child's health-fund pediatrician.
Pediatrician in Modi'in: when to see a sub-specialist, and what the visit at EliteMed looks like
Parents searching for a pediatrician in Modi'in are usually looking for two different things: a pediatrician for routine care, which the health fund provides, and a pediatric sub-specialist when there is a question routine care does not solve. EliteMed answers the second need. At the Ayala 360 Center, pediatric specialists who head units at Schneider, Sheba and Hadassah see patients: pediatric neurology, ADHD assessment, pediatric nephrology, pediatric gastroenterology, child development, dermatology and pediatric orthopedics. Appointments are available within days, with no referral.
The sign that it is time to move from routine care to a specialist is when the pediatrician recommends a work-up, when the public-system wait is long relative to the concern, or when the problem keeps returning despite treatment: abdominal pain that recurs for months, repeated urinary tract infections, eczema that is not controlled, a delay in milestones, or attention difficulties raised by the kindergarten or school. In these cases one long visit with the right specialist often saves a long round of tests and referrals.
The visit is built for children: a quiet room, time dedicated to the parents and the child, and a physician who reviews the developmental and medical history, the kindergarten or school questionnaires and previous tests before examining the child. An ADHD assessment ends with official medical documentation recognised by the Ministry of Education for accommodations. When imaging or laboratory tests are needed they are coordinated with the centre's imaging unit or with the hospital, and parents leave with a written summary that is also sent, with their consent, to the pediatrician at the health fund.
Parents of a child with a more pressing situation, for instance recurrent febrile seizures or a new finding on a test, can use the urgent track within 24 to 48 hours. A child with shortness of breath, a first seizure or a high fever with drowsiness needs the pediatric emergency room, not a scheduled visit.
A further advantage is that the work-up closes in one building: a heart murmur, fainting or chest pain on exertion is assessed by a private cardiologist in Modi'in, suspected food allergy or allergic asthma goes to the private allergist in Modi'in, and seizures, headaches or developmental questions are managed by the private neurologist in Modi'in. The consultation is recognised as a private specialist consultation by most private insurance policies (Harel, Phoenix, Menora and others), subject to policy terms.
When the question is neurological, such as seizures, recurrent headaches or a developmental delay, the right address is the private pediatric neurologist in Modi'in.

Medical FAQ & Pediatric Guidance from a Pediatric Specialist
When a child has a seizure, recurrent febrile seizures, frequent headaches, tics, a delay in motor or language development, loss of skills already acquired, or attention difficulties accompanied by neurological signs. A recommendation from the pediatrician or the kindergarten to investigate also justifies a visit. The neurologist decides whether tests such as an EEG or MRI are needed.
The assessment includes a detailed parent interview, questionnaires from the teacher or kindergarten teacher, a medical and neurological examination of the child, and ruling out other causes such as sleep disorders, anxiety or learning difficulties. It is usually one long visit, sometimes with a follow-up. You leave with a diagnosis, treatment recommendations and documentation for school accommodations.
Yes. An ADHD assessment carried out by a qualified specialist physician (a pediatric neurologist or another recognised specialist) is accepted by the Ministry of Education for learning and exam accommodations, and by academic institutions. The specialists at EliteMed provide the formal medical documentation in the required format, including recommendations for the educational staff.
The work-up with a pediatric nephrologist includes a review of previous infections, urine and blood tests, blood pressure measurement and sometimes a kidney and urinary tract ultrasound, which can be arranged at the center's imaging unit. Based on the findings, the doctor decides whether follow-up, preventive treatment or further hospital tests are needed.
Developmental monitoring is a professional assessment of the child's motor, language, cognitive and social milestones relative to their age. It is needed when Tipat Halav, the kindergarten or the parents notice a gap, after prematurity or a birth complication, or when a child loses skills. Early identification lets treatment start at the age when it is most effective.
A senior pediatric neurologist reviews the seizure type, the EEG and imaging, and the medications and doses, and checks whether treatment needs adjusting or further tests are required. The visit includes parent guidance on what to do during a seizure and on everyday safety. In complex cases, a consultation with the hospital's epilepsy unit is coordinated.
The fee is given when you book, before the visit, and depends on the type: a specialist consultation, a full ADHD assessment or a follow-up visit. It qualifies as a private specialist consultation, reimbursable under most private insurance policies (Harel, Phoenix, Menora and others), subject to policy terms. The center provides an invoice and a medical summary for the claim.
