Dr. Professor Shimon Rochkind works as a neurosurgeon at Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov), one of the accredited hospitals in the Clinic-Y partner network. Clinic-Y is an independent facilitation agency. We include a specialist in your written plan when the case profile matches, and we compare several partner teams before recommending one.
Focus areas
Dr. Professor Shimon Rochkind is listed in Neurosurgeon, Peripheral nerve specialist, Spine neurosurgeon, Pediatric neurosurgeon and Orthopedic spine surgeon. Your case is matched to a specialist by diagnosis rather than by popularity, so the fit between your condition and their day-to-day caseload is what decides the recommendation.
Experience
Practising since 1979, Dr. Professor Shimon Rochkind has around 47 years of clinical experience in neurosurgeon work. Years alone do not tell the whole story, which is why the written plan also states the technique and the hospital where it will be performed.

Communication and language
Consultations are held in English. A Clinic-Y medical interpreter attends every consultation, consent discussion and discharge briefing, so the conversation happens in your own language regardless of the specialist you see.
Patient ratings
Dr. Professor Shimon Rochkind holds a verified patient rating of 5.0 out of 5 from 1 reviews collected by independent platforms, which places them at 9.2 out of 10 on the Clinic-Y service score (outstanding). We publish scores and review counts rather than reproducing individual patient review texts.
Consultation options
An online consultation can be arranged before you travel, so the plan is agreed in advance. In either case the specialist confirms or honestly revises the remote plan, and nothing proceeds until you agree.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request this specialist by name?
Yes, provided your case is clinically suitable. If another specialist in the network is a better fit for your diagnosis, we will tell you and explain why.
Is a second opinion possible?
Yes, and it is free. Clinic-Y can send the same file to a second partner specialist and give you both written assessments.
What does the consultation cost?
The remote case review is free. Any in-person consultation fee is stated in your written plan before you travel, and in most packages it is already included.
