Otolaryngologists abroad

In April, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had a mental breakdown and was completely hopeless. However, the doctors assured me that I would be fine. I made an appointment with Dr. Avi Hefets, an experienced thyroid specialist. I am grateful to God that after the operation I began to recover, the medicines also turned out to be very effective. Thank you Dr. Avi Hefets for your help!

In the shortest possible time, an examination and consultation with Avi Hefetz, head of the ARAM Head and Neck Surgery Center at the Assuta Clinic, was organized for me. After the examination, a consultation with an endocrinologist. Doctors confirmed that it is better to remove only part of the thyroid gland (2/3 of the gland was preserved for me!), because I still have a young body and I still need a thyroid gland. The day of the operation was set. And it was successful! Now I feel great. Everything, of course, was very expensive. But with health, nothing else! Do not be ill.

I had surgery to remove my thyroid gland. Many thanks to Avi Hefetz, who consulted me about cancer, explained all the nuances of my condition, and encouraged me. Also thanks to the staff of the Assuta clinic, you have been very supportive of me during such a difficult time.

The clinic staff are very polite, attentive, smiling. The preparation for the surgery itself took place in a calm environment, where each person does his own work. The atmosphere is soothing. Before the surgery, Dr. Avi Hefetz told how everything would go, explained what would happen after the surgery. Everything went well. Now of course I will be on hormones for life, as the thyroid gland was completely removed. But the main thing is that cancer is defeated.

Recently, my voice has changed a lot, doctors suspected cancer of the larynx. I immediately began to look for a good doctor and ended up being treated by Dr. Dan Fliss. It's good that the tumor was small. The doctor performed endoscopic surgery, even without general anesthesia, for which I thank him very much!

Dr. Dan Fliss performed a surgery on me for a thyroid tumor in the Sourasky medical center. Thanks to his professionalism, he was able to save part of the gland, now I don't have to take hormones all my life.

Professor Fliss is a rare combination of a top-notch surgical oncologist and a person who understands the patient, his family and turns a complex reality into a clear plan of action. Accompanying treatment with optimism and realism in predicting results, it helps to return to a full life. About four years ago, he operated on me, performed a partial resection of the tongue to remove a cancerous tumor and lymph nodes. Everything was done very professionally. Since then, I have been checking-ups with him. Professor Fliss is an expert in his field. Highly recommend!

Professor Dan Felice operated on me twice for thyroid cancer. He is undoubtedly the #1 surgeon in Israel.

We came to Professor Dan Fliss for a consultation regarding my mother's complicated thyroid tumor. We met a nice, tolerant and patient person who gave a very professional response, a lot of peace of mind and confidence in our decision to continue treatment. Of course we chose him as our surgeon and we are confident that we are in the best hands in the field. I highly recommend him.

My son has adenoids of the 3rd degree, in the children's clinic at the place of residence they suggested removing him. When I found out how they are removed (pulled out through the mouth), I immediately refused. I started looking for more civilized methods and found them in the Israeli clinic Ichilov. They use the cold plasma removal method, which is less traumatic and bloodless. The operation was performed by Dan Fliss. About a week after it there were mucus, the nose hurt a little, but in general everything is fine.

I noticed that my five-year-old son constantly suffers from a runny nose. I regularly washed his nose with special means, but there was no improvement. In addition, the child constantly slept with his mouth open, causing loud snoring. He complained to us that he had terrible dreams. We were at the dentist. The doctor said that the bite is wrong. He advised me to see an otolaryngologist. We made an appointment at the clinic. The ENT doctor made a diagnosis and said that his son had adenoids of the 3rd degree, an operation was needed. I was afraid to do it in the city hospital. At the forum, I learned that the Israeli clinic Ichilov is treating the disease. I went there with my child. Professor Dan Fliss recommended an adenotomy. My son was operated on under general anesthesia. Now we are correcting the bite at the dentist, but the other signs of the disease have disappeared.

At the beginning of August I had a runny nose, my nose was blocked only on the left side. And immediately the teeth on the upper jaw on the left ached. I went to a local doctor. I also went to the dentist because my teeth hurt unbearably. The doctors did an examination, showed sinusitis. For 2 months I was prescribed antibiotics, and the dentist began to open my teeth one by one and put arsenic in to kill my nerves. But it didn't help! I spit on everything, contacted my cousin from Israel, she treated sinusitis with Israeli doctors a year ago. She recommended Dr. Roy Landsberg to me. I arrived and the next day I was in the hospital, they made me a puncture and it turned out to be a cyst, not sinusitis! A couple of days later, under local anesthesia, I had a maxillary sinusectomy. It was painful, but before the operation it hurt more because the cyst was pressing on the nerve. After the operation on the 3rd day I felt much better.

Last year I was treated in the urology department of the Assuta clinic. This year I was diagnosed with "Adenoids of the second degree", and I decided to be treated here. Everything went well. Within a few days I had an examination, a consultation with Dr. Roy Landsberg, and I had an operation. Now I feel well, all symptoms have disappeared.

Dr. Roi Landsberg clearly explains and answers all questions related to finding out the cause of the disease. He is a very good surgeon, I was convinced of this from my own experience.

I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Roee Landsberg for his professionalism and kind attitude. I came to the clinic for examination and consultation. The examination was carried out as soon as possible, in just 3 days. In Russia, I would have to wait at least a month, and maybe more, for the same examination and getting the results.

I had polyps and a bent nose. Before visiting Dr. Celalettin Demir, I visited several other doctors, but they did not inspire confidence in me. Dr. Demir examined me and said that I needed surgery. I liked his professional approach and I trusted him and agreed to the operation. After the operation, at first there was swelling and bruising, my nose hurt, but the painkillers the doctor prescribed helped. After 3 weeks, there was no trace of swelling or bruising left on the nose and face. Today was my last visit to the doctor and now I can breathe easily. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Celalettin Demir and the entire surgical team. Be healthy.

Celalettin Demir is an excellent doctor who performed my nose surgery and I recommend him with all my heart!

I had an appointment with Dr. Celalettin Demir at the Avcılar Murat Kölük State Hospital. He performed surgery on my nose. The operation gave a very successful result. The doctor also skillfully removes tampons from the nose (I was very pleased with this))). Very good attitude towards patients. I recommend this doctor.

I am very pleased with the work of Dr. Celalettin Demir. Now my operated ear hears even better than the healthy one. :) Thank you!

Celalettin Demir is a very good doctor, he knows his job. I recommend him for any nose surgery.

This is the best doctor, focused on treating his patients, regardless of the disease, friendly and high-quality in his work. I'm glad I have you!

He did my nose job and I am very pleased. Thanks to him, it became easier for me to breathe. He is certainly a very experienced doctor. :)

I thank you very much, from all our family, the Doctor and every team for professionalism and reference.

Thank you for the fast, high-quality and professional treatment.

Good service and entertainment for children while they wait.

Fast, high-quality, professional treatment and a warm attitude.

Before surgery, my five-year-old son had trouble sleeping, eating, and hearing. He stopped hearing due to fluid buildup in his ears. Thanks to Dr. Ismail who performed the surgery brilliantly, my son has made a full recovery. He is now sleeping and eating comfortably and his breathing is much better. Dr. Ismail is our only ENT now. He is incredibly kind and considerate and my son visits him happily.

I went to see Mr. Ismail Onder Uysal because of an illness that had not gone away for many years and could not be diagnosed by other doctors. He gave me an injection, and suddenly my complaints stopped. I am grateful to him, and if you are often sick, I recommend that you see him.

I would like to thank Dr. Ismail Onder Uysal for his care, he is really friendly and professional. I wish him success in his work.

Thank you for everything!

I had a rhinoplasty and was truly impressed by the level of care from the entire team. I would confidently recommend Professor Yavuz Selim Yildirim — he is a skilled surgeon and a true professional. I’m really pleased with how everything turned out.
I’d also like to mention that I missed my flight and had to rearrange my transfer at the last minute — the team handled it quickly and smoothly.
The staff were incredibly attentive and always reachable whenever I needed them. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care.

The true embodiment of the saying "The best work is done by those who know their craft." Esteemed Professor, Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim, is one of the best in his field. His personality, humility, calm demeanor, confidence, sincerity, and smile, along with his extensive experience and knowledge, make him a doctor you can fully trust. I am very pleased to have met him. Thank you, doctor, and your team for your care, success in the operation, kindness, and sincerity. I wish you continued success. People like you are very much needed. Thank you for everything! May God be with you in all your endeavors.

Esteemed Professor, Dr. Yavuz Selim, is one of the best in his profession, a doctor you can fully trust. Throughout the entire process and operation, he was always available to me, answering all my questions, which helped me feel in safe hands. After the surgery, all my problems disappeared, and the recovery process was very smooth. I am very happy to have met him. Thank you, doctor, for the successful surgery, your attention, and your care. I wish you continued success.

I first consulted him at Bezmialem Hospital 9 years ago and had an appointment. His attention and humanity left an indelible impression. I am very happy that Dr. Yavuz Selim is working in Istanbul again. I wish him success in his professional career.

I came across Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim while searching for a surgeon experienced in revision rhinoplasty cases. I had previously undergone three rhinoplasties (I know this might sound strange, but it's not). These surgeries left me with dents on the sides of my nostrils and a "parrot beak" effect, and the overall appearance of my nose was unattractive. After consulting with another surgeon in Istanbul, I decided to continue my treatment with Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim because he was honest about what was achievable and didn’t try to overdo my nose. He respected my wishes and promised to do his best. Now, a little over a year and a half later, I am happy with my nose. It's not 100% what I wanted, but that’s due to my skin's characteristics and limitations. I no longer have a "parrot beak" or dents, and thanks to the rib graft, my nose has become more stable. The doctor is kind, talented, and honest, and it’s a pleasure to communicate with him. I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for natural results. Thank you again!

Professor Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim is truly a professional doctor who takes full responsibility for his work. I definitely recommend him. I wish him continued success in the future..

16/05/2023

First of all, may God bless Dr. Yavuz Selim. He is a very special doctor who has always been polite and kind to our family throughout the entire treatment process. You can confidently approach him with any ear, nose, or throat issues. May God keep such doctors and grant healing to all who need it.

21/03/2023

Dr. Yavuz is a true professional you can fully trust. He is the only quality doctor in the hospital whom you can turn to for any ear, nose, or throat issues. I hope that in the future he opens his own private practice.

30/04/2023

Dr. Yavuz Selim has been my doctor for many years. He conducted my check-ups and performed two surgeries: adenoid removal and apnea surgery. I can't trust my health to anyone else because before, during, and after the treatment, I received professional support. He is not only a professional doctor but also an amazing person. Polite, humble, and very respected doctor. If you want to feel safe and get an accurate diagnosis, consult him without hesitation!

Hello, 8 months ago, on a friend's recommendation, I made an appointment with Dr. Yavuz. For many years, I wanted to have nose surgery, but I was afraid the result would look unnatural. I had serious breathing problems, and I wanted to undergo aesthetic surgery because of the bump on my nose. We quickly set a date for the surgery. I had adenoids removed, a septoplasty, and aesthetic rhinoplasty. After the surgery, I did not experience any pain. When I first looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe how beautiful my nose had become. Now I breathe freely. It has been 6 months since the surgery. If I don't mention it, no one would even guess that I had surgery, I am very satisfied with the result. Dr. Yavuz has become our family doctor.

Dr. Shoffel is the best laryngologist and the most professional doctor in Israel. Thank you for your help.

I underwent a stroboscopic test with Dr. Hagit Shoffel for an in-depth diagnosis of the condition of my vocal cords. The procedure provided an accurate picture of my ligaments. Before the test, I was given a local anesthetic in the form of a spray and the procedure was quite comfortable. The test took a few minutes and I did not feel any discomfort after the test was over.

I was treated by Dr. Hagit Shoffel. I had a problem with my vocal cords that could not be diagnosed for several months. Dr. Schufel did a detailed examination and prescribed a treatment that produced results almost immediately. I am very grateful to the doctor for her work!

This is not just a doctor, but a top notch professional who knows her job 100%. If you need a good laryngologist, feel free to contact Dr. Shoffel!

Dr. Abargil is a wonderful surgeon! The surgery went without complications and the sinusitis is no longer bothersome. The child feels great! Recommended!

11/04/2023

Contacted Dr. Abargil for polyps in a child. The operation was carried out quickly and accurately, without scars. The doctor is attentive and professional.

22/06/2022

Our son required surgery to correct a congenital anomaly of the ENT organs and Dr. Abargil was recommended as one of the best specialists. From the first appointment, he instilled confidence - he explained everything we were expecting, taking into account the age of the child. The surgery was successful and the recovery was painless. Dr. Abargil is not only a professional of high level, but also a very responsive person who is always ready to help and answer all questions. We are immensely grateful!

30/05/2023

Dr. Abargil performed surgery to remove polyps from my son. The surgery went well, but the rehabilitation process was a little more difficult than we expected. The doctor was attentive and always answered our questions, but we would have liked a little more support during the recovery process. Overall, we are happy with the outcome, although we expected a little more from the aftercare process.

17/02/2023

Dr. Abargil is a good doctor, surgery was successful but communication was a bit dry. Other than that everything is great!

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...

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!

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!

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.

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.
