Svetlana

hallux valgus

My name is Svetlana. My problems go back quite a long way. I had orthopedic surgery twice in Arkhangelsk for hallux valgus. I did not see any improvement, so I came to Israel to the Iсhilov Clinic on the recommendation of my friends here. I would like to note the high professionalism of the doctors, as well as the nursing staff who worked with me. All issues were solved in a short time, no time was lost. I had my first surgery a year ago, I was operated by Dr. Luger. But since the foot is complex in structure, he did not exclude a second small stage, so I came a second time to finish some things. I feel very well. The quality of medical care is top notch. I feel calm, confident, not afraid of the language barrier, the attitude is warm and attentive. I have the impression that I am the only one there, everything is very kind. I am very satisfied with the help I received and I express my family's great gratitude to all the staff of the clinic who fought for my health.

Olga

My name is Olga. I had an ankle replacement at Iсhilov Hospital. Dr. Luger and his team are great! I recovered very quickly after the surgery!

Sergei

ligament injury

I suffered a ligament injury while playing sports. I came to Israel, to the Ikhilov Clinic. From the first moment I felt confident in the professionalism of the doctors. They performed surgery on my ligaments, and a few months later I returned to training. I am especially grateful to Dr. Luger for his high level of work. The whole process - from diagnosis to rehabilitation - went perfectly. I thank all the staff of the clinic for their care and attention!

Alexander

ankle injury

I am Alexander, and I would like to share my experience of treatment at Ikhilov Clinic. After an ankle injury in Russia, the doctors could not make an accurate diagnosis. At Ikhilov I was quickly examined and was offered a minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Luger performed the surgery and I finally started walking normally without pain. Quality rehabilitation was organized immediately after the procedure.
