“I have consulted with and received advice from Aviva on various health-related issues. She has such a wide range of knowledge to eagerly share with you!”

We strongly recommend Health Advize. We used their extensive professional knowledge in a number of different medical cases. They directed us to the proper professional; the consultant was highly available, answered kindly and patiently and helped us find the most appropriate medical solution. In our most recent situation, where doctors struggled to diagnose the illness of our 4 year old (a burst appendix) , Aviva [the consultant] was a source of support, advice and guidance, which it helped us a lot and gave us confidence to make the right decisions.

I met Aviva by chance. I thank God every day that I did. Any person with a disability, a chronic illness, mobility issues or needs help at home should have her contact info. She reaches parts of bureaucracy that others cannot.

Aviva is extremely dedicated and committed to results. My favorite part of working with her was knowing that no matter what came up, she would take care of it. Israeli beaurocracy can be so unpredictable, having someone taking care of the process is exactly what i needed
