schwannoma

Prof. Nadal Mohan is a doctor from God, a humble and kind-hearted person. I went to him with a schwannoma in the neck area which could not be removed without damaging the nerve. The best doctors could not help me until I came to him. With complete confidence, using his vast experience and vast knowledge as well as the latest technology, he was able to remove the tumor while preserving the nerve. I don't have words to express my gratitude to him, and no matter what I say, it won't be able to convey his full merit. I wish him all the best and recommend anyone looking for the best specialist in our country to go to him. I am a believer and I am grateful to the Almighty for having met him. Thank you very much...

Benign neck tumor affecting the peripheral nerve

Four years ago I started having a severe, persistent cough. My doctor found a suspicious lump in my neck area. After examinations, it turned out that I had a benign tumor on a nerve that could be causing pain, sensory disturbances and muscle weakness. At first I was relieved that the tumor was not malignant, but when I learned that it was located near the nerves responsible for my vocal cords and swallowing, I was very scared. Several hospitals suggested that I have the tumor removed along with the nerve, which would mean losing the ability to speak and swallow. It would ruin my job as a chef and fatherhood for my six children. I couldn't accept it and searched for a doctor who would offer another solution.

Two years passed, the tumor continued to grow, reached 5 cm and started pressing on my trachea. My condition worsened, I hardly slept and could barely function. One day I came across an article about a doctor from Ihilov Hospital who had successfully performed a similar operation. I immediately made an appointment.

When I met Professor Nadal Muhana and Dr. Yuval Shapiro, they told me, 'We can remove the tumor and preserve the function of the nerve.' This was the first suggestion of this kind that I had heard in 4 years. I came out of the consultation with a huge sense of relief, as if a stone had fallen from my soul. After more tests, I was scheduled for surgery.

The surgery lasted five hours. It was complicated, but successful. The doctors managed to remove the tumor without damaging important nerve fibers. After the operation, I recovered quickly, there was no hoarseness or swallowing problems. I feel like a miracle has happened to me. I am back to life, family and work. Thank you so much to these doctors!

Sleep apnea caused by snoring

Three years ago I started suffering from a sore throat, snoring and constant fatigue. My family complained that my snoring was disturbing everyone's sleep. Eventually, I went for a checkup and was diagnosed with apnea. I had previously undergone surgery to remove my tonsils at another hospital, but that didn't help. For a long time I was afraid to seek treatment again, but Dr. Nidal Mohana convinced me to have a second surgery. The surgery was successful and after two months I felt like a new woman. My snoring is gone and now I am ready to marry my true love. I am very grateful to the team at Ihilov Hospital!

Parapharyngeal tumor (9 cm)

I am a mother of 11 children and I have a lot of work, so it took me a while to notice that something was wrong with me. When I finally took the time to get checked out, it turned out that I had a huge tumor in my throat. I was terrified. How do I tell my children that I have a tumor the size of a ping-pong ball that is threatening my life? On many recommendations, I went to Dr. Nidal Mohana, who offered a unique approach - removing the tumor through an incision in my neck so I could recover faster. The surgery was successful and I am grateful to God for sending me such a doctor who saved me from suffering.

A tumor at the base of my skull and on my neck

We live in Canada and our daughter had thyroid cancer. We were looking for a top specialist in Israel to get a second opinion on treatment which we were very concerned about. We did a lot of research and received good recommendations about Dr. Nidal Mohan from Israeli doctors. We had planned to come to Israel to meet him, but the doctor offered to meet us in Toronto since he was visiting there. He took the time to meet with us at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. He carefully reviewed the medical records and gave us a detailed and professional explanation and answers to all our concerns. We are very happy with his conclusion, it put us at ease. Dr. Mohana is not only a serious specialist, but also a caring, sensitive person who treats the patient like a family member. If we had the opportunity to continue treatment in Israel, we would entrust it only to him.
