''I am writing this review out of considerable familiarity with the world of treatment and psychiatry, from professional work alongside psychiatrists, and I can say wholeheartedly - Dr. Ophir Livneh is one of the most professional, sharp, and impressive psychiatrists I have met.
He has an extraordinary ability to understand a person quickly and deeply. He asks precise questions, knows exactly when to delve deeper and when not to exhaust the patient, picks up on body language, nuances, and small details, and manages to integrate all the information into a complete picture.
Not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms - but also the person themselves, their inner world, the reality in which they live, and the resources available to them.
He is very sharp and direct. He does not embellish reality and does not only say what is pleasant to hear, but in his unique way he manages to say difficult things with empathy and in a way that strengthens.
One of the things that stands out most to me is that Dr. Livneh does not give up on the patient. He accompanies, checks in, shows interest, and dedicates far more of his time than I have ever known within a psychiatric setting - and sometimes even beyond the time that is paid for. You feel that the wellbeing of the person in front of him truly matters to him.
In the process of addiction treatment there is naturally fear, resistance, and a great deal of hesitation.
Dr. Livneh knows how to give a very clear professional recommendation, while at the same time listening to the patient's wishes, understanding their circumstances, and trying, as much as the situation allows, to build a treatment path that is both medically sound and feasible for the person in front of him.
If you are hesitant or afraid to reach out - I can only say: give him a chance.
It is hard for me to describe just how professional, brilliant, humane, and respectful this man is.
And Dr. Livneh, if by chance you read this - thank you.
Thank you for having people like you in this profession.

''I highly recommend!
I was very impressed with Dr. Livneh.
He is a pleasant person who creates a comfortable feeling, and the conversation with him flows smoothly. Despite the conversation extending beyond the usual time, Dr. Livneh gave the impression that he was completely present with me without any sense of pressure to finish.
I was very impressed with Dr. Livneh's ability to process and summarize everything said in the conversation without forgetting any detail I mentioned.
Dr. Livneh is certainly one of the most pleasant people, he is empathetic and gives a feeling of identification. I have never left a therapist with such a good feeling.
I recommend to anyone who needs treatment not to hesitate and to contact Dr. Livneh.

''I received treatment from Dr. Ofir Livna privately, and I cannot help but recommend him wholeheartedly. From the very first moment, I received personal, professional, and caring treatment. He was attentive, patient, humane, and I truly felt that he saw me and not just the problem.
Within a short time, an appointment was arranged for me for consultation. Maya, his secretary, was available, pleasant, and efficient. She answered every question with patience and professionalism - truly a corrective experience in the healthcare system.
Dr. Livna combines high professionalism with patience, sensitivity, courtesy, and a generous heart. Thank you for devoted treatment, warm attitude, and the feeling that there is someone to rely on!
