As a dermatologist, Yael Kon practices dermatology across the board and specializes in dermatosurgery, nail disorders/surgery and allergology. She chose this profession because of the diversity, the clear treatment options and the fact that a quick diagnosis is often possible.

'I always try to give my patients a good explanation, put them at ease and treat them with cheerfulness and energy. I go home with a satisfied feeling when my patients walk out of my consulting room with a smile and have understood what the treatment plan is.'
