"Professional hospital, exactly as one would imagine. Arrival a bit tedious due to its central location and so traffic might be heavy, but the place itself is incredible"

"One Star – Negligence That Cost a Life THEY KILLED MY BROTHER AND OTHER PEOPLE WHILE I WAS THERE! I am devastated to write this, but I feel obligated to warn others. My brother was treated at SHEBA HOSPITAL, and the care he received was not only unprofessional but ultimately fatal. From the beginning, there were signs of negligence—delayed diagnoses, lack of communication, careless follow-ups, and a general disregard for our concerns as a family. Despite us raising red flags multiple times, the hospital staff brushed things off or responded too late. Months after the initial treatment, my brother passed away due to complications that could have been prevented with proper medical attention. No one should have to go through what we went through. The pain of losing a loved one is hard enough, but knowing it could have been avoided makes it unbearable. I hope this review pushes this hospital to take accountability, improve their standards, and prevent another family from suffering the same tragedy. WARNING ⚠️ IF THERE IS NO MEMBER OF THE FAMILY NEXT TO PATIENTS BED, THEY WILL KILL HIM MUCH EARLIER! NO ONE CARE IN SHEBA HOSPITAL! SHEBA HOSPITAL IT'S UNPROFESSIONAL - STAY A WAY BEFORE THEY KILL YOU FAMILY MEMBER AS WELL!"

"We visited the maternity ward with the whole family. Parking was available and conveniently close to the entrance. Finding the ward was a bit confusing, as the signage and directions are limited, but with guidance from a family member, we managed to locate it. There are few seating areas for family members, which can be inconvenient. The maternity ward itself appeared clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff seemed friendly and professional. Outside the ward, the cafeteria and vending machines offered a wide variety of food, snacks, coffee, and hygiene products, which is very helpful for visitors. * Pros: Convenient parking, clean and comfortable ward, friendly staff, good selection of food and amenities. * Cons: Confusing signage and directions, limited seating for family members. Overall, the experience was pleasant and the ward seemed well-run, though signage and seating for visitors could be improved."
