Expert gastroenterology case management: beyond just a consultation
Chronic abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or persistent heartburn are not just a nuisance - they are warning signs from the body.
In the public healthcare system, the wait for an appointment is long and sometimes critical, and the meeting is short.
Dr Vosko offers a new standard in gastroenterological case management, with dedicated time, a comprehensive view, and high availability.
Our goal is to reach the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms. Whether in a face-to-face meeting at our clinic or via a video call (online) from the comfort of your living room, you will receive the full attention of a senior physician and hospital unit head, a clear diagnosis, and an organized treatment plan for the road ahead.
One of our key advantages: The "Ongoing Consultation" model.
We don’t just "prescribe and forget." Your consultation includes follow-up on any complementary tests for a period of 6 months, at no additional cost.
Don’t face the pain alone.
Book your consultation (in person or via Zoom video call) today.
Who is this service for?
This consultation is designed for anyone experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms or seeking a comprehensive second opinion before undergoing an invasive procedure.
Common Conditions for Diagnosis and Treatment:
- Bleeding Findings: Black stools (Melena), the presence of fresh blood during wiping or in the toilet, or a positive Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) - conditions that require endoscopic investigation to rule out serious findings.
- Heartburn & Motility Disorders: Chronic heartburn that persists despite treatment, acid reflux (GERD), swallowing difficulties (Dysphagia), or Achalasia.
- Sensitive Stomach: Diagnosis and management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating, gas, and unexplained abdominal pain.
- Bacterial Infection: Treatment for persistent Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that has proven resistant to previous antibiotic therapies.
- Changes in Bowel Habits: New onset of chronic constipation or prolonged diarrhea that does not resolve (without a clear dietary cause).
- Investigation of Clinical Findings: Interpretation of abnormal blood tests (such as iron-deficiency anemia or elevated liver enzymes) and imaging results (CT/MRI).
The "Continuous Consultation" Model - Our Unique Advantage
One of our greatest advantages is the "Continuous Consultation" model. In most medical practices, if a physician refers you for blood tests or imaging, you are required to pay for a follow-up appointment just to review the results. With us, your initial consultation remains valid for 6 months.
Simply send us your results via email/WhatsApp;
Dr. Vosko will review the findings and update your treatment recommendations at no additional cost.
Insurance & Reimbursements.
Dr. Vosko is recognized as an expert consultant physician by most private health insurance providers.

Information for patients from abroad (medical tourism)
Geographical distance should not prevent you from receiving the best care.
Our unit is equipped to receive medical tourists arriving in Israel for complex procedures, while simultaneously offering remote medicine services (Telemedicine).
Through a secured video call (ZOOM), you can conduct a full consultation with Dr. Vosko, just as if you were with us at the clinic.
Dr. Vosko is trilingual, speaking Hebrew, English, and Russian.
Upon completion of the consultation, you will receive a video recording of the call and an organized medical summary.
An international online consultation service allowing patients from abroad to receive a Second Opinion from a leading Israeli expert before making decisions on complex surgeries, available in Hebrew, English, or Russian.
Is a Zoom appointment as effective as an in-clinic appointment?
In gastroenterology, since these are internal organs, the diagnosis is mainly based on a thorough patient interview (anamnesis) and interpretation of relevant test results such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, pH monitoring, EUS, Blood tests, etc., and therefore in most cases, an online consultation is just as effective, saves time, and allows for a calm conversation from home and even the participation of an additional family member from another phone or computer. The conversation is recorded and sent to you. If a physical examination is necessary, you will be invited to the clinic and you will not be asked to pay the difference.
What is the "Ongoing Consultation Model" and why is it beneficial for me?
We understand that sometimes the process of obtaining a medical diagnosis does not end with a single consultation. At times, it takes time to perform tests and receive results, and therefore our payment model is global and valid for 6 months.
Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind: send your test results as soon as they arrive (by email or WhatsApp), and Dr. Vosko will review the results, update the summary of your medical consultation, and refine your treatment according to the findings – as an integral part of the service and without any additional financial commitment required.
I have Private Health Insurance. Am I eligible for reimbursement?
Absolutely. Dr. Vosko is recognized as a consulting physician (specialist) by most private insurance companies in Israel. At the end of the consultation, you will receive a tax invoice/receipt and a medical summary, which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your policy.
I do not have any medical documents yet. Should I wait before scheduling a consultation?
Absolutely not. Our unequivocal recommendation is: Schedule a consultation first. Instead of "rushing" into tests that might not be necessary, meeting with Dr. Vosko will focus you precisely on the specific tests required to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. This will save you valuable time and reduce bureaucracy. And what about the results? That is exactly why we offer our "rolling consultation" model - as soon as you receive your results, we will update your file and recommendations at no additional cost.
Gallstones are accumulations of cholesterol or other substances in the gallbladder that can block the bile ducts. This condition, called cholelithiasis, causes abdominal pain, inflammation of the gallbladder or pancreas, and even jaundice.
An interesting statistic: it is estimated that about 20% of the population has gallstones.
Diagnosis is done by ultrasound, and treatment is based on laparoscopic cholecystectomy or endoscopic removal of the stones via ERCP, depending on their location and the severity of symptoms.
Reflux is a condition in which the contents of the stomach flow back from the stomach into the esophagus.
This disease, called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition where chronic acid reflux becomes an ongoing problem.
As a result, the tissues of the esophagus are damaged, leading to chronic inflammation.
Diverticula are "pouches" that protrude from the wall of the colon through weak points in the colon. Each such pouch is called a diverticulum (diverticula).
About half of the population in Western countries aged 60-80, and nearly all individuals over 80, are affected by diverticulosis.
When these pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. The incidence of diverticulitis is 10%-25% of diverticulosis cases.
It is very common in older adults in Western countries. It can cause abdominal pain and constipation. Sometimes, diverticula also lead to bleeding, inflammation, or perforation of the colon wall. Symptom management is done with medication for constipation or abdominal pain. If complications arise, surgery may be required to remove the affected section of colon containing the diverticula.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the digestive system rather than a structural organic disease. This means that imaging, endoscopy, or laboratory tests typically do not reveal a clear pathological finding, despite the presence of significant symptoms.
Patients with IBS may report a wide range of symptoms, including recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both, and sometimes nausea and persistent abdominal discomfort. Symptoms tend to vary in intensity and character over time and are often exacerbated after eating.
Pathophysiologically, the syndrome is linked to a disturbance in the brain-gut axis, visceral hypersensitivity, changes in intestinal motility, and sometimes alterations in the gut microbiota. In many cases, psychological factors such as stress, pressure, and anxiety have a significant impact and can trigger or worsen symptoms.
Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria after ruling out other organic diseases, especially in the absence of "red flag" warning signs such as gastrointestinal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or anemia. Treatment includes pharmacological, dietary, and sometimes psychological interventions.
