Pleasant and very attentive doctor ( Ace of his business!!!!! ) , thank you Boris !!! for me beautiful. :) The operation was “deep lung biopsy”, I was operated by Boris Gendel in Assuta!!! in general, most of the doctors, including B.Gendel speak Russian perfectly well, there are no problems!!!! (and even if the doctor does not speak Russian, there is always an attendant who will easily translate everything and help with everything!!!!))))).

malignant lung tumor

Dear Dr. Boris Gandel, sensitivity, care, dedication and professionalism are your working tools. Your method of treatment reflects an exceptional personality that only a few possess. From the first encounter, your care led to the very rapid detection of a malignant tumor in the lung. Your tremendous dedication allowed the tumor to be removed as quickly as possible in the midst of the second wave of coronavirus when the entire country was in turmoil. You operated on me with the highest level of professionalism and successfully removed the tumor, which ensured that no further post-operative treatment was required. Thank you for saving me and relieving my wife from pain and prolonged suffering. Thank you for saving my life.

Ruti Yaakov

Lung surgery

Dr. Gandel, Boris, an angel! My name is Ruti Yaakov from the village of Kfar Yona. I have no words to thank the angel named Boris Gandel. I underwent lung surgery at Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba on May 22, 2019, performed by Dr. Gandel, the senior surgeon. During the surgeries and my stay in the hospital, I saw and felt his attitude towards the patients under his care, his strict concern for sterility in patient contacts, his benevolence in every interaction or treatment. I am glad I got to know a man with such a kind heart and wonderful disposition. I wish everyone who will need thoracic surgery to meet such a doctor. I would also like to thank the thoracic surgery department and the amazing nurses who were always there for me during my difficult hours, as well as the staff who always made sure I was comfortable and clean. Many, many thanks to everyone!
