Dr. Stien. His office is on Menachem Mashiv in Mattesdorf. I don't have his number, you can get it from Meuchedet

Is he South African? If yes I went to him by meuchedet in shefa mall, he's a very nice doctor.

Anyone do the tunnels in Ir David on their own? Do I need to reserve in advance?

Walk ins are welcome, but it doesn't hurt to make reservations, especially during busy season.

As I thought.

The Shefa Dr. Stein w/o the beard, must be a brother or cousin. I can't imagine there re 2 South African Dr. Stein's out there unrelated.

Good riddance, Waffle Bar Ramat Eshkol. My life will be far better without you and your lousy service.

They sub stuff for my wife and I all the time. In particular, changing the cheese in a wrap from yellow 'yerushalayim' cheese to mozzarella.

I think you forget what country you're living in. You are describing Israeli culture. "I'm doing you a favor by existing, by enabling you to buy, and you're going to tell me how to do it"?
