Everything was done right at Ichilov Hospital: hospitalization and surgery - I am satisfied with everything. The doctor was very professional and empathetic to the patient, and the medical team was also very professional and loyal.

lung cancer

I recommend this doctor as a true professional and a person who shows attention to detail and knows how to listen. Thanks to his help, I was able to overcome the diagnosis of lung cancer. I hope that this terrible disease will not return to my life again.

I received excellent and professional service from a team that works under great pressure. I felt especially supported by the surgeon, the doctor who performed the ECG, and the nurse who discharged me. Thank you very much for all your help.
