''An outstanding doctor. Professional and caring.
During my daughter's surgery, he discovered things that were not visible on the MRI, acted professionally and with great concern for my daughter at the cost of a much longer surgery. He did not take the easy route but slowly and carefully peeled everything through the canal. He continues with close follow-up and monitoring, completing all tests to achieve a perfect result.
Humane and supportive of the patient's environment.
We came to check one thing, and with great dedication and thorough examination, he found a discovery he hadn't even thought about.

''I met Dr. Mauricio because they recommended I undergo a cochlear implant surgery. The fear of undergoing surgery was great. Dr. Mauricio talked to me, and the care, concern, and listening I received from him was invaluable. I underwent the first surgery 3 years ago and returned for a second surgery half a year ago. I regained my hearing and the confidence I greatly lacked. Thanks to him and the Creator of the world, I heard the voices of my children, my mother, and my siblings, which is worth a thousand times more. I would not exchange this doctor for any other and trust him 100%. I also brought my husband and son for treatment. Dr. Mauricio has golden hands, a good heart, and a very kind demeanor. To write everything I feel would require many pages. What I have written is just the essence of what I experienced from the day of my first surgery and from the day of my first acquaintance with him. I wish Dr. Mauricio longevity, health, and much happiness in life. Yardena Lev

''An outstanding doctor and excellent professional. A person with a heart of gold and skilled hands. Before implanting the implant in me — he instilled confidence and peace of mind.
It is no coincidence that Shiba is at the top of the world rankings.
We should also mention the doctor's sense of humor.
