Dr. Sternheim’s Beliefs
“I believe that my role is to guide you through the process of examination and treatment.
The field of oncology in general, and oncological orthopedics in particular, is exceptionally complex.
Patients are often caught between different doctors and healthcare settings for examinations and diagnoses, trying to formulate the right treatment plan and implement it. This process can lead to many questions, concerns, and a sense of uncertainty.
I believe that every doctor, researcher, or medical staff member should outline a clear path and set goals, have confidence in themselves and their patients, and strive to be a leader without being deterred by challenges or limitations.
I believe in professionalism, unique clinical practice, research, innovation, the ability to lead change, and the importance of educating and mentoring medical teams.
My role is to guide you through the examination and treatment process. Together, we will carefully examine all the details, tests, medical history, and current condition, and develop a tailored treatment plan based on the diagnosis.
The treatment plan and its execution are grounded in my many years of experience as a cancer and benign tumor surgeon in Israel, Canada, and the USA. My approach is based on uncompromising professionalism in tumor treatment and a profound understanding of the importance of reconstruction and optimal function, which I strive to achieve for you.
In my view, every surgery, whether small or large, is significant. There is no substitute for careful planning, flawless execution, and meticulous reconstruction—always bearing in mind that we are dealing with human life and your future quality of life.
I believe in a warm, compassionate approach, a smile, optimism, and professionalism. You will receive a straightforward explanation in clear language for complex problems, and together we will chart a clear path forward.”
