Dr. Yaniv Steinfeld • A patient who became a therapist

Meet Dr. Yaniv Steinfeld, an orthopedic specialist and surgeon in the field of joint and knee replacements in general in the Haifa and Western Galilee district and Carmel Hospital: "As a child I spent a lot of time in the cast department of the Zebulon Medical Center, it's nice to return to the same place and this time on the side of the therapist and not the patient"

Dr. Steinfeld (40), lives in Karkur, completed his medical studies at the Technion. He did an orthopedic internship at Rambam and Hillel Yaffe Hospital. For two years he worked in Toronto at Sunnybrook and Mount Sinai hospitals in the field of hip and knee replacements. Today, Dr. Steinfeld works at Carmel Hospital of the Klalit Group and at Klalit in the Haifa and Western Galilee district as an orthopedist and hip and knee replacement surgeon and at the same time is in charge of the department's internship program.

Dr. Steinfeld says about the choice of this specialty:

I chose to practice medicine in general and orthopedics in particular because that way I can help people and give them practical and immediate solutions to their problems.

Dr. Steinfeld can be found in several clinics in the district:

Department of Orthopedics at Zebulon Medical Center, Dr. Rash Clinic in Haifa, Shafram and Tzur Shalom in Kiryat Bialik.
"What motivates me at work is seeing the healing in action. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a patient who first arrives with a limp and becomes a different person after joint replacement surgery. In addition, he recommends all patients of all ages to remain active, "It is good for health, especially these days we are under Constant mental stress, physical activity also helps to relieve stress," concludes Dr. Steinfeld.
