I express my gratitude to the leading hemato-oncologist of the Assuta Complex Clinic, Professor Michael Shapir, my attending doctor, for professionalism, attentive and patient attitude, and the choice of drugs that caused my illness to recede.

Special thanks to the medical staff of the oncology and hematology departments who performed my chemotherapy procedures. Thank you for your sensitivity, helpful recommendations, and willingness to help: Nathan, Vera, Lily, Shelley, Dory made these difficult procedures less painful for me.
I thank you for the professionalism and responsiveness of the nurses who accompanied me during my inpatient treatment at the hospital:

Rectal polyp
On April 3, I had a surgery for removal of a rectal polyp. I was operated on by the surgeon Svetlana Makhlankin with the team and anesthesiologist Roman Schneider. The operation was quick and painless. Everything was professional. The nursing sisters in the waiting room Eva and Julia were very attentive. This is not my first visit to Assuta hospital. I want to thank the staff and hospital management.
Lubov Saraeva
Breast cancer
My name is Lubov. My medical history is as follows. I am 32 years old. In February, I found a lump in my chest. Of course, I immediately turned to the mammologist, he directed me to do an ultrasound. I was diagnosed with the mastopathy. He said that I should not worry about nothing, the operation was scheduled for the end of August. Then, having told about this situation to my friend, I realized that it was better not to take risks, especially there is an oncological history in my family (the doctor ignored this fact). A friend advised me to address the company Ilissa, where she was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer and was very pleased. After I have adreesed, a medical consultant Lev contacted me. He was very livable, explained everything concerning treatment and arrival. After he received documentation and from us consultations with the doctor, he sent us a diagnostic program, everything was written in very detailed and understandable ways. The diagnosis was carried out within a week, my fears were justified, the neoplasm was malignant. Thank God, the metastases were not found, an operation and preliminary chemotherapy were recommended. The cost of the operation for me was high. I began to find out the price at us. Then, after I was told that it is necessary to remove the mammary gland, I decided to be operated on in Israel. The operation was conducted by Professor Gutman in the Assuta hospital. The operation was successful. Thank God, they saved the chest. I want to thank Ilissa Center and all the staff of Assuta Hospital! In particular, Leo and Roni, they were available even at a later time and were patient, despite my frequent calls and numerous questions before and after treatment. Thank you very much!!

gastroenterology
I, Panfilova Svetlana Mikhailovna, was examining in Assuta from May 23, 2017 till May 26!!! I would like to express my words of gratitude, tears of joy overwhelm me!!! My adviced me to go there (her grandson was examined there). With our doctors, this is a circle pit! I was diagnosed with diffuse colitis, it was scary … Upon arriving in Israel, I was met and taken to the clinic. On the same day, I passed the tests and was consulted by a gastroenterologist, Doctor Laav Maor. After reviewing my examinations, he said (Without doing another colonoscopy): “You don’t have nothing like that!” And after I did colonoscopy, he confirmed it again! Thanks also to Professor Moshkovich and Professor Eldad Ben Shitrit, Head of the Department of Rheumatology !!! Wonderful people! In addition, I thank all the attendants, they were called 2 Olya and Svetlana! I am 60 years old, but I was treated like a child, so much attention! And most importantly understanding! The people in Israel are very responsive. If they did not understand my Russian in the cafe, then someone from the visitors helped me!!! Thanks and thanks again!!!!!

Last summer, I was diagnosed in Assuta. I was very pleased with the professionalism of doctors, prices, and service in general. In addition, the diagnosis made in Russia was not confirmed. Arriving in Israel, I was staying at my friend and went to the clinic without any problems by public transport. By the way, the first doctor’s appointment was assigned to me on the day of arrival. I got an appointment with specialists in various fields, including an oncologist, a mammologist, an endocrinologist, etc. I passed all the necessary laboratory tests and in less than 2 weeks I got the results. At all stages of the trip I was accompanied by a coordinator, who greatly simplified my stay in the clinic. I was very glad that I did not have cancer. I will never again use the services of Russian doctors, and I will only go for treatment abroad. It’s worth it. After all, life and health are the most expensive.

From the first day, when my husband and I found out about the pregnancy, we set ourselves up for childbirth abroad. For childbirth, we chose the Israeli hospital Asaf Harofe, and did not regret it for a single day. At my request, the doctors performed epidural anesthesia, so I did not experience pain during contractions. We had an individual comfortable room, and the consultant helped to establish breastfeeding.

I had an operation on my foot on September 6, 2022 in the orthopedics department. They treated me warmly and took good care of me.

During the last few months, we had to come to Shamir because of my husband, first for the trauma center and the urology clinic, and then because of the car accident that led to the operation and plastic surgery, I must say that we are completely satisfied with the work, promptness and warm attitude of the doctors. All this made hospitalization and recovery much easier.

Hello, kind people in white coats, saving human lives!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all the goodness you give to patients!
After I was given a verdict – kidney cancer, I no longer hoped for a full life. Our doctors said to remove the organ, with which I categorically disagreed. I started looking for help in solving this problem in Israel. I turned to Herzliya Medical Center, where I received a high-level service. From the moment I applied until I left, I was surrounded by the best of the best! I made sure of this myself. God bless you!

Thanks to Professor Ami Fishman for refuting my mother’s diagnosis, saving me from an unnecessary surgery, understanding everything, and most importantly, prescribing adequate treatment. Finally, my mother was no longer in pain AND WE CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE IT. Thank you for such a warm and friendly welcome. We recommend only your hospital to all our people, although of course it is difficult to call this paradise a hospital))) Thank you all so much for your hard work!

heart valve replacement
Hello! Dear doctors and nurses of the Israeli clinic Herzliya Medical Center!
Your former patient T.L. is addressing you. I just have to share my impressions of how I got to see my local doctor. After all, he told me that I would not undergo valve replacement surgery and would die on the operating table. And today I feel great. After my visit to your medical center, our regional hospital made a depressing impression on me. I understand perfectly well that it is impossible to compare the equipment of an Israeli clinic and our hospital, but the human relationship does not depend on this, does it? One can only dream of the attitude and care that I received from your doctors and nurses here. I am very grateful to Dr. Snir for the excellent surgery, for the fact that I am now alive and every day I feel better and better. Thank you very much. I will never forget you!

ulcerative colitis
We came with a problem in the field of gastroenterology. My boy is 7 years old, for several months he could not be diagnosed in Moscow (although we were in several clinics). He has very low hemoglobin and iron levels, persistent diarrhea for 8 months, plus severe abdominal pain.
We turned to Herzliya Medical Center, the answer was not long in coming – they organized our visit in a matter of days. Real professionals work in the international department: everything is clear, fast, to the point.
Professor Gabriel Dinari is a specialist in the field of gastroenterology from God, besides a pleasant, sensitive person. On our way to the examination, we had to do procedures that were unpleasant for the child: gastroscopy and colonoscopy. I want to say that the child did not feel anything, there was neither fear nor discomfort. All the way: kindness and human attention.
The boy was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and prescribed the necessary medication. We just started treatment, but after a week we noticed minor changes, which is good news. At the end of our visit, we were handed over all the documents, the results of tests and examinations, as well as the doctor’s conclusion.
Many thanks again to everyone! With confidence I can recommend examination and treatment in this Center.

Private hospital in Haifa. Excellent hospital. With amazing doctors, excellent surgeons, and very good and professional medical staff. They are designed for those who have money or whose health insurance covers the cost of treatment in a private hospital such as Elisha. All branches work professionally and competently. The patient after the operation lies in a separate room. They feed well.

Nice new clinic. Friendly staff, excellent facilities. Parking is a little tight, although there is parking on the territory of the hospital and it is expensive, it is also possible to park on the street, also for a fee, but there are not many places. Lots of Russian-speaking staff. We had no complaints about the clinic. There is tea and coffee for visitors. In the clinic, even if you come for a few hours, and do not lie there, they offer to eat sandwiches, especially if you come on an empty stomach.

Infertility
Having a baby has been my lifelong dream and knowing we can’t conceive has been devastating. After I endured too many unsuccessful fertility treatments, I started looking for clinics abroad. After an initial consultation with Dr. Elisha Clinic, we decided that the clinic was right for us. Upon arrival at the hospital, all the medical staff patiently answered our endless questions and kept our mood in a positive direction. I will never forget the moment when the test showed that I was pregnant! My advice to other infertile couples is to find a good doctor and don’t lose hope!

Infertility
After many years of infertility treatment, we turned to Elisha Hospital, this was our last attempt. My husband and I decided that if it didn’t work out, we won’t try again. In truth, we no longer hoped for a result (the previous 4 attempts at home were unsuccessful, and the fetus did not take root), but we wanted to ensure that we had tried everything we could. And a miracle! This attempt was successful! Our daughter is already 8 months old, a healthy and absolutely fantastic baby. We are happy!

Last year my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Our mother died 14 years ago from the same disease. Thinking about it, my sister and I chose cancer treatment at the Elisha clinic in Israel. Firstly, we had already been to Haifa as tourists and knew there would be no problems with the language. Secondly, I also wanted to undergo a diagnosis, because I wanted to get a diagnosis. I realized that I had a very high chance of getting sick too. My sister was successfully operated on, she had 6 more courses of chemotherapy, and now she is healthy.

My father was diagnosed with lung cancer, 6 month ago. It was already stage 3, and our doctors said that it was too late to do anything. But we decided that since they cannot cure us here, this does not mean that they will not help us abroad. We considered many options, both Germany and Austria, but decided to go to Israel. Still, medicine is somewhat cheaper there.
Father was treated in Assuta. The clinic is very good and the doctors are real professionals. Dad underwent a course of chemistry with radiation, then an operation was performed. In general, the father is already feeling well. We are very grateful to the doctors of the clinic.

Thanks to the Assuta team for a well-organized stay and surgery in Israel. I had a nephrectomy. In my memories styed only the excruciating pain and fear of the upcoming serious operation. Everything went perfectly! Literally in a few days I got back on my feet! At the same time, I rested at the Dead Sea. Now I recommend all friends, neighbors and acquaintances to contact only Assuta and not waste precious time and health visiting Russian Aesculapians! Better to go to Israel right away and not be afraid of anything!

Spinal cord tumor
Good day! I had a spinal cord tumor removed in Assuta in 2017, . The first weeks I could not walk. Then the left leg recovered completely, and the right one had to be developed (it was difficult to move the fingers). Now I am 29 years old, I have almost completely recovered thanks to the operation, the recommendations and constant advice of our curator from Assuta. I am constantly engaged in physiotherapy exercises, I wear special foot holders on my right leg, but this does not give me much discomfort. Thanks to the Assuta staff for their help and support after the operation!

Brain surgery
I live in Ukraine. The diagnosis is a brain tumor. Doctors in the center of neurosurgery recommended to undergo a surgery. I was against it and started looking for an alternative. I trusted the Israeli doctors at Assuta and was not mistaken. After Professor Zvi Ram carried out my diagnostics (on MRI and not only), he prescribed a non-invasive treatment. Thus, I avoided the surgery, which was terrible for me.

Our son was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 5. Because of the disease, he had big problems, first in kindergarten, and then at school. The treatment prescribed at the place of residence did not bring results, and we thought about his treatment abroad. The choice fell on the Israeli hospital “Soroka”, because. we’ve heard a lot of good things about the epilepsy department.
The neuropathologists of the Soroka hospital examined our son and prescribed a treatment that turned out to be effective. Now my son is 10 years old, and he has returned to a normal lifestyle for his age. We are grateful to the specialists of the Soroka hospital.

melanoma
Russian doctors diagnosed me with melanoma. At the time of diagnosis, they explained that the case was complex. They advised, if possible, to undergo treatment abroad, preferably in Israel. My husband and I chose Soroca Hospital specialists for treatment. Thanks to the visa-free regime between Russia and Israel, we were able to fly out for treatment immediately. This was important because melanoma is a malignant tumor that progresses very quickly.
The hospital turned out to be very modern, with the latest equipment and the attending physician spoke Russian, so we practically did not need the help of an interpreter. Throughout the treatment, I was in a comfortable room. Excellent living conditions also contributed to a speedy recovery. Now I’m at home and feeling good.

plastic surgery after an accident
A misfortune happened to me: I got into an accident. The nature of the injuries I received was such that I needed several complex plastic surgeries. In order not to risk my appearance, I decided to undergo treatment in Israel: I heard that Israeli plastic surgeons work real miracles. For treatment, I chose the Soroka Hospital – and I was not mistaken: the surgeries were carried out at a high level. But most of all I was struck by the sensitivity of the medical staff of the hospital. In Israel, I not only recovered, but also rested, and now I remember this country with love and gratitude.
The choice of a clinic is, of course, very important for treatment in Israel. However, the most important thing is to choose the right doctor, because the result of treatment will ultimately depend on him.

epilepsy
Huge hospital, with convenient signs. This is not the first time we have received help here, qualified staff, and top-class doctors! There are no problems with the Russian language. But if necessary, they provide an interpreter. The doctors treated my nephew for epilepsy earlier. We came to Israel for examination and treatment for the second time. Now there are significant improvements, there are practically no seizures. Very pleased. I recommend!

Dubovy family
Epilepsy
Our son was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 5. Because of the disease, he had big problems, first in kindergarten, and then at school. The treatment prescribed at the place of residence did not bring results, and we thought about his treatment abroad. The choice fell on the Israeli hospital “Soroka”, because. we’ve heard a lot of good things about the epilepsy department.
The neuropathologists of the Soroka hospital examined our son and prescribed a treatment that turned out to be effective. Now my son is 10 years old, and he has returned to a normal lifestyle for his age. We are grateful to the specialists of the Soroka hospital.
Ludmila
melanoma
Russian doctors diagnosed me with melanoma. At the time of diagnosis, they explained that the case was complex. They advised, if possible, to undergo treatment abroad, preferably in Israel. My husband and I chose Soroca Hospital specialists for treatment. Thanks to the visa-free regime between Russia and Israel, we were able to fly out for treatment immediately. This was important because melanoma is a malignant tumor that progresses very quickly.
The hospital turned out to be very modern, with the latest equipment and the attending physician spoke Russian, so we practically did not need the help of an interpreter. Throughout the treatment, I was in a comfortable room. Excellent living conditions also contributed to a speedy recovery. Now I’m at home and feeling good.

plastic surgery after an accident
A misfortune happened to me: I got into an accident. The nature of the injuries I received was such that I needed several complex plastic surgeries. In order not to risk my appearance, I decided to undergo treatment in Israel: I heard that Israeli plastic surgeons work real miracles. For treatment, I chose the Soroka Hospital – and I was not mistaken: the surgeries were carried out at a high level. But most of all I was struck by the sensitivity of the medical staff of the hospital. In Israel, I not only recovered, but also rested, and now I remember this country with love and gratitude.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at the Isotope Department at Ichilov, who do a holy job with patients like me from all corners of the country and provide them with the most attentive and professional examinations and treatments one could wish for, especially for the life-saving PT CT examinations! Thank you, Prof. Roni Gamzu, for always following up and inquiring how patients are feeling, it is not at all a matter of course. You are a man of high soul, may you be blessed for life!

Anastasia Tarasova
B-cell lymphoma
My name is Anastasia, I am from the Republic of Moldova.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. My treatment was at Ichilov-Suraski Clinic, and in 2019 I had a bone marrow transplant. I am glad we decided to be treated at Ichilov specifically. I was in the best place, with the best doctors, wonderful people, with a truly family-like attitude. It is a place where you are not left alone with your problem. My doctor and the whole team of the international department take care of me until today, even though I am not in Israel anymore.
Olga Komina
Kidney cancer
I want to tell you my story of acquaintance with the hospital Ichilov (Sourasky).
In Russia, I was given a disappointing diagnosis: kidney cancer and the only method of treatment in my city is abdominal surgery with kidney removal (nephrectomy). I had no symptoms of the disease, blood and urine tests were normal, and a tumor with a diameter of 4 cm was discovered by chance on an ultrasound.
I am 44 years old and I refused to believe that I, having a leading healthy lifestyle, can have such a terrible disease. I decided to undergo a diagnosis and, if necessary, treatment in Israel. I sent inquiries to different clinics on the Internet and a few employees from various departments of international medical tourism called me. I chose the Ichilov Hospital (Sourasky) and I will explain why.
My grown-up son accompanied me on a trip. We were assigned with an employee who accompanied us everywhere, sat with us in the queue, got us into the doctor’s office for a consultation. The organization completely fell on her shoulders, I could only obey and do what they say (for that many thanks to her). Without her and without the knowledge of Hebrew, we would definitely have been lost in these labyrinths of the hospital.
Doctor Avi Beri was a very pleasant man, a man of few words, like all surgeons in my view. Unfortunately, he confirmed my diagnosis and suggested two treatment options: tumor resection with a da Vinci robot, or radical nephrectomy with a laparoscopic method. I agreed to the last, because the tumor was located in the center of the kidney, and for my peace of mind it was preferable to have a nephrectomy by laparoscopic method. The next day I went to the hospital, and at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I was operated on successfully by the doctor Avi Beri for an hour. I recovered from the anesthesia quickly, there was a slight pain in the right side, I have something like boots on my legs there that squeezed the air, pressing lightly on my lower leg to avoid blood clots on my legs. Only 2 small scars are visible (like mosquito bites) on my body. According to the nurse’s words, the kidney was removed from a small incision on the scar left after an appendectomy performed in childhood. The next day my hemoglobin dropped sharply, dizziness stopped after blood transfusions. I was staying in the ward for 3 days, after which I was discharged in good condition. The sensations of severe pain were absent during all these days, it was painful only when they took blood from a vein for analysis, but that’s no big deal.
Impressions from the department of international tourism Ichilov (Sourasky) and from the medical staff are very positive, although no one will take bows before you for paying a lot of money for medical services. I didn’t pay extra money into anyone’s pocket. Everything is organized clearly, competently, and professionally. The very appearance of the medical complex is very impressive: multi-storey buildings made of glass with a helipad on the roof of the main building. It is impressive and surprising – how such architectural beauty was created in such a small town!
My story is not an advertisement, I am an ordinary patient who wanted to share my impressions with you, because I remember very well the moment when I eagerly read into all the reviews of patients from different clinics. I hope my story to someone very useful. Now I am at home in Russia. The operation took place a month ago, I feel good. In six months, I plan to come to Sourasky again for a control examination. Thank you all for your attention!

Arthrosis
Ichilov is a huge medical center with the latest equipment, where the professionals of their craft work, who are ready to help even in the most difficult situation. In this hospital, I was replaced by four joints, but during the preparation and during these operations, the doctors found serious problems that interfered with the implementation of almost every endoprosthesis. However, every time the doctors of this hospital found a solution to the problem and all operations were performed without any complications. I am very glad that I chose this particular hospital and my doctor Professor Aaron Menachem who operated me on all four times.

My daughter and I have been to this clinic three times for leg surgery.
Our attending physician – orthopedist Dr. Ethan Segev – is a Doctor with a capital letter! We are very grateful to him for his work. We have full confidence in him and his professionalism and thank Smetankina Maya for her help!
Dr. Segev corrected the position of our daughter’s legs, chose the right technique and correctly installed and reinstalled the plates in the knee joints in 2 years. The operations were very successful. So successfully that, for example, less than a day after the last operation, we were already discharged home!
We also express our gratitude to the entire staff of the Dan Children’s Department for the attention and care shown to our daughter.

Breast cancer
Hello. I want to share my story of illness and recovery. I am the mother of eight children, and now I am the grandmother of two grandchildren. In 2011, I was diagnosed with cancer of the right breast (grade 3 carcinoma). diagnosis. But the proposed treatment immediately shocked my husband and me, to put it mildly. On the recommendation of friends from Israel, we turned to the international department of the medical center Iсhilov. We were immediately consulted about the necessary examinations and operations.
Very friendly and responsive staff (unlike Moscow!) All our questions were answered in great detail. In five working days, I had all the necessary examinations and I received a consultation from the leading mammologist-oncologist Prof. M. Inbar. I will not describe everything in detail – I will say the main thing: my breast was saved, the tumor was reduced to 5 mm, and a lumpectomy was performed. In Israel, I received only one course of chemotherapy, the rest of the courses and radiation therapy I received in Russia, since I could not afford to leave my family. The operation was performed by an excellent surgeon-prof. Shnebaum. I want to express my immense gratitude to all the doctors and staff of this clinic! I have been living a full life for three years now.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue
I visited the hospital in March 2015 for examination and then in May 2015 for surgery to remove squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue at the Ichilov Medical Center (Sourasky) in Tel Aviv.
I have never met such attention, attitude, equipment, and conditions in Russia, anywhere!
The department of medical tourism picked up a convenient time and sequence of all procedures. In the laboratories, they masterfully performed all the manipulations during the examination. The results are recorded on a CD, the documents are translated into English. Everything was clearly explained.
The operation was carried out by a team with the magnificent ENT-surgeon Moshe Yuda headed.
Several shifts of nurses were caring of me and bringing back to life. The attitude here is different in principle: it is important for the medical staff not only to do their job, but also to cooperate with the patient – we are equal in the process of recovery by importance! And the issue is not that I paid for the operation. They treat the fellow nationals for free and completely on the same conditions! Attitude to all is the same. The staff bears and forbears. By the way, there are Russian speakers in every shift! Absolutely comfortable, calm, humanely, and very nice.
Many thanks to the Israeli medicine, the Sourasky Hospital (Ichilov), which is able to instill hope, give life, and very carefully treats patients!
Vitaly Zamalov
examination, operation
I will try to objectively convey my vision regarding this hospital:
My doctor / surgeon was Mr. Avi Beri. I can judge his approach to treatment and professionalism subjectively by 5 points out of five. Any unnecessary tests and other things have not been assigned. Moreover, according to his recommendations, some procedures and analyzes were replaced during my visit by others. This became clear and necessary after the examination. The treatment plan was 95% saved from the planned one (before my first visit). This preliminary plan was presented to me on the basis of the first data.
As to the money, I spent the amount according to the planned budget. Conditions before and after surgery are quite satisfactory. The purpose of my trip was to get a quality treatment, with the result. If you want to see luxury wards, as far as I know this can be obtained, for example, in Assuta, or in the period after discharge. In no case, I don’t want to say bad about this clinic. Nurses are qualified, attentive, and responsive.
The work of the department of international tourism in all honesty leaves much to be desired. But again, I don’t talk about all the employees of this department. I would like to thank Irina (department of international tourism).
In my opinion, the problem of this department is the speed from addressing to the first visit to the doctor. I mean, when you want to be examined by a certain doctor. Of course, you can do it in the same Assuta, but it will cost other money. I was limited in budget, I could not afford it. In view of this, I would have to go to this clinic through Experts Medical on subsequent requests. This circumstance has allowed to save time, nerves, and as a result money.
I tried so that people who need help in Ichilov could read and avoid mistakes. Thanks Ichilov and the people who work there. Health to you, friends!

Oncology
After detecting oncology, I immediately decided to go to Israel for treatment. Examination and diagnosis in Ichilov were conducted very quickly, in ten days, plus chemistry at the same time. Then I went to chemotherapy every three weeks. After repeated examination, I was operated on. It should be noted that I did not even feel like a cancer patient thanks to such a good approach. I recommend coming here to everyone who is sick.

Surgery
The best, and this is not an exaggeration. They were approached several times, but each time the impression remained the most positive. Always polite and friendly staff, very clean, delicious food. The only minus is that they don’t wait for semolina, usually there are others on the menu.
I liked how they organized the matter with the transfer, when we did not have to stay in the hospital, they took us to the hotel comfortably. The notorious heat in Israel is easily tolerated with air conditioning. In general, they took care of the conditions. Well, the results of the treatment are certainly excellent. I recommend this clinic to everyone.
Derodo
orthopedics
I have never met a more humane attitude than in this clinic. Here, everything is really aimed at not only curing a person and giving him health, but also providing maximum comfort during the treatment. During the course of treatment, we settled in a hotel 100 meters from the clinic, it was convenient to get there, although the heat was unreal. We were always accompanied to all professional departments.
A couple of times the procedures were done at night, at three o’clock – we had to get up on the alarm clock, but again, we were not alone. My son had to spend two days in the hospital, and the food here was much tastier than in most Russian hospitals. There was a curtain in the ward, it could be closed and no one bothered. It is immediately clear that they understand what personal space is. Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality of service, not to mention the treatment that helped my son recover.

They said how the process of organizing treatment works. After 3 days I got a call from the clinic. A week later, i had the first consultation of the mammologist Droma. The total price for all came out to $ 5,500. All diagnostics took 3 days. Then 5 more days I waited for the results of the biopsy. As a result, there was another meeting where the diagnosis was confirmed. But now I know exactly what and how to treat me! But I have an initial stage and no metastasis. There is hope for a cure.

Heart disease
Hello! People often don’t believe in miracles, now I believe. Our daughter, 3 years old, was diagnosed a heart disease. I began to look for solutions, my colleague advised me to contact RAMBAM Medical Center (mother-in-law was treated there). We did not have to think for a long time, collected all the money and went. My daughter was immediately sent for a diagnosis and then an urgent operation. The operation lasted 8 hours. The operating doctor came out – All is well, will live !!! Now our princess is growing and enjoying life. RANBAM is a place where people believe in life.

Breast cancer
I want to share my diagnostic experience in Rambam. There was a suspicion of breast cancer. It was necessary to confirm the diagnosis. I sent them a request on January 2. They said how the process of organizing treatment works. After 3 days I got a call from the clinic. A week later, i had the first consultation of the mammologist Droma. The total price for all came out to $ 5,500. All diagnostics took 3 days. Then 5 more days I waited for the results of the biopsy. As a result, there was another meeting where the diagnosis was confirmed. But now I know exactly what and how to treat me! But I have an initial stage and no metastasis. There is hope for a cure.
First of all, I would like to wish people who have encountered this on their life path wisdom, strength and a speedy recovery.And how important it is to have people nearby, whose experience and knowledge will give the right guide and provide support.We learned about the consultation of Professor Uri Kramer by coincidence.Literally in a short amount of time, they prepared examinations and sent them to Dr. Yana, who was always in touch with us and helped in collecting information and organizing.Online consultation with a pediatric epileptologist – Prof. Uri Kramer.Were there any doubts about the online consultation and in general about what we do?Probably somewhere yes.But we calmed down and simply believed that our communication should work out.On the appointed day, Alex contacted us in a few hours, who checked the connection and was further with us during the entire consultation.With professor Kramer our communication lasted more than an hour.We felt the approach to our situation and the deep attention of the doctor.The result of the consultation was a designated treatment protocol, we received answers to all the questions we wanted to ask.Thank you for your good work and for being with us on this journey.

epilepsy
My husband is 32 years old. And about two years ago, serious attacks began, which ended in severe convulsions and loss of consciousness. My husband had his last examination in Moscow with a neurologist (before that, we also visited epileptologists) and came to the conclusion that we were wasting time. Nothing changes. The neurologist prescribed the drug Depakine 300 mg to my husband. After 5 months, regular severe attacks began. And this state continued until we found our doctor – epileptologist Dr. Ilan Blat, who prescribed the right treatment for my husband. 2 years ago I actively began to search and read reviews on the Internet, sites with information on the treatment of epilepsy, where I came across reviews about the online consultation at the MIGDAL MEDICAL clinic. Almost all reviews about this clinic and staff were positive. I even watched videos on YouTube with reviews of patients in different areas in this particular clinic.
For a long time I did not dare to contact, there are few scammers on the Internet, and yet in April of this year I took a chance and left an application for an online consultation with an epileptologist. Literally after 15 minutes, Dr. Yana Zvagolskaya contacted me and gave clarity on all issues. After sending all the necessary documents by e-mail, we set a date and time for an online consultation. On the day of the consultation, Alex contacted us and told us how soon they would go on a video call. The consultation lasted more than an hour, where Dr. Ilan Blat explained in a clear and understandable way how to be treated for epilepsy in our case. He prescribed the right treatment for my husband, answered all the questions that arose both during and before the consultation. And my husband has been taking Keppra as prescribed by the doctor for six months. To say that we are satisfied is to say nothing)). The husband feels great, there are no seizures, and we hope that with this treatment he will be able to fully recover from epilepsy.
I want to say that for those who do not have the opportunity to go to Israel for treatment, there is such an opportunity as an online consultation. You can safely contact this clinic, they will explain everything and prescribe the right treatment for you, which is the most important thing.
Online consultation with an epileptologist – Dr. Ilan Blat
My only regret is that I didn’t know about this clinic earlier.
I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Ilan Blut, Dr. Yana Zvagolskaya (who can answer any of your questions by e-mail 24/7, and also call and explain), and, of course, many thanks to the wonderful guy Alex.
I am infinitely grateful.

Hello, I would like to share my impressions of the days spent in Israel. Now I don’t want to remember at all about my troubles at home and about what diagnoses were made and what medicines I had to drink. I can say one thing – I lost my sense of smell, the pain did not go away and, as a result, depression and a bad mood. Friends advised me to contact Migdal Medical. THANK YOU!!!!!!
From the very beginning of communication with these people, I realized that everything would be fine. Professionalism, attentiveness, literacy – this is only a part of the qualities that are inherent in the guys from this team. The visa was opened in the shortest possible time, upon arrival we were met. The escort who has always been with us is called ALEX. Any questions – from household to medical, were solved by him competently and professionally. And how much positive in this man. Thank you! During our stay, he became our dearest person!
And, of course, I really want to say a huge thank you to the doctors! Correct diagnosis, excellent professionalism. Absolutely all questions were answered, the necessary treatment was prescribed, and as a result, I arrived as a completely different person. We are grateful to you for everything you have done for us. THANK YOU!!!!

I want to express my gratitude to you in writing for organizing my examination and for the well-organized work. Everything went exactly as discussed on the phone: meeting at the airport, excellent apartment (next to the clinic), free communication in the clinic itself, thanks to the Russian-speaking medical staff.
Thanks to the high qualification of your doctors, I was given the final diagnosis (because in Russia they were diagnosed 3 times and all are different). Now I am being treated according to the scheme prescribed by the doctor.
Thank you so much for organizing my examination and for your concern. And, of course, the level of doctors that I was lucky enough to get an appointment with.
Health to you and success in your noble work!

Cardiac surgery in Israel: brief info
Modern cardiac surgery in Israel is an advanced high-tech branch of medicine that is developing at a rapid pace. According to the WHO, the first position in the list of leading causes of death, even in developed countries such as the United States and Germany, is still occupied by cardiovascular diseases. In Israel, due to the high level of cardiology and cardiac surgery, heart and vascular diseases have moved to the second position in this list.
In Israel, there are many large world-class cardiac centers and unique, “piece” cardiac surgeons, for example, at the Sourasky Medical Center.
Surgical treatment of heart diseases in Israel is carried out in high-tech hybrid operating rooms. The success rate for heart surgery in Israel is one of the highest in the world, regardless of age, comorbidities, and the severity of the general condition of patients.
Minimally invasive heart surgery is one of the main areas of cardiac surgery in Israel. They have already become common practice and are used in every second patient. The absence of complications and early postoperative rehabilitation in Israeli cardiac surgery clinics allows the patient to be discharged a week after the operation.
Cardiac surgery in Israel means the best cardiac surgeons in the world, the latest Israeli and American surgical methods for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and a quick recovery. At the same time, the price of operations in Israeli cardiac surgery clinics is much lower than in cardiac centers with the same advantages in the United States. Therefore, surgical treatment of the heart in Israel is in demand by patients from many countries of the world.
Heart Surgery in Israel: Benefits
Many surgeries are performed minimally invasively by cardiac surgeons. With minimally invasive interventions, Israeli cardiac surgeons perform a small, compared to open surgery, an incision in the sternum or other part of the chest. They also perform operations on a beating heart without the use of a heart-lung machine (HLM). These operations have many advantages over conventional open interventions:
significantly reduced blood loss and surgical trauma of the chest;
the intensity of postoperative pain is significantly reduced, it is easier for the patient to breathe and cough, there is less risk of infection and complications associated with the use of HLM;
faster rehabilitation and return of patients to normal life;
the better cosmetic effect after surgery.
To perform this operation, endoscopic equipment, 3D imaging system, special instruments, as well as very high qualifications, special training, and experience of cardiac surgeons are required. Therefore, these operations are put on stream only in large, well-equipped cardiac surgical centers – in Sheba and Rambam clinics.
Cardiac surgery in Israel: minimally invasive coronary artery bypass
In standard coronary artery bypass (CAB), cardiac surgeons make a 20-30 cm incision in the middle of the sternum and use HLM.
For many patients in Israel, doctors perform other options for this operation:
OPCAB is performed without AIC through a reduced access to restore blood flow (revascularization) in several coronary arteries;
MIDCAB is performed without AIC through a 6-8 cm incision in the sternum for the purpose of revascularization of one coronary artery.
To perform this heart operation in Israel, special devices such as stabilizers are used. They immobilize a limited area of the heart muscle at the time of bypass.
Minimally invasive valve repair and prosthetics
With congenital and acquired defects of the mitral valve, minimally invasive interventions are widely practiced in Israel:
operations under the visual control of a cardiac surgeon;
endoscopic interventions;
robotic operations.
With all these operations, the incision in the sternum or chest, which is made to access the heart, is only 4-8 cm. During the intervention, the surgeon can correct the valve in case of stenosis/insufficiency, or replace the valve with a mechanical or biological prosthesis. The same heart operations in Israel are performed on selected patients with aortic defects and tricuspid valve pathology.
Robotic cardiac surgery in Israel
The most minimally invasive operations are performed using robotic technology – the Da Vinci installation. Surgeon-robot controlled by a cardiac surgeon using a computerized system:
performs coronary artery bypass grafting of one or two arteries through a small incision in the sternum;
performs plastic surgery or prosthetics of the mitral valve through a 4-cm incision in the intercostal space;
removes heart tumors;
installs a pacemaker and a cardioverter defibrillator.
The success rate for these heart surgeries in Israel is 98-99%. Patients after cardiac surgery with the help of Da Vinci recover very quickly.
Complicated surgical treatment of heart diseases in Israel
Some diseases of the heart and blood vessels are successfully treated in Israel without surgery using high-tech procedures by catheterization. But in many cases, only cardiac surgery can help, and most often both are needed. Therefore, all cardiac surgeries in Israel are performed in a hybrid operating room, equipped both as a modern operating unit and as a catheterization laboratory.
During one stay of the patient in the operating room, an Israeli cardiac surgeon can cure many diseases:
ischemic heart disease after CABG or transmyocardial laser revascularization;
valvular pathology by performing plastic surgery or prosthetics of the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves;
aortic aneurysm, having made a prosthesis of this vessel;
cardiac arrhythmias using the “maze” operation;
heart failure by ventricular/atrial reconstruction.
In most cases, cardiac surgery is accompanied by other medical procedures such as stenting and balloon plastics of the coronary arteries, radiofrequency ablation of arrhythmogenic zones, the Watcnman procedure. The result of these operations is checked by a cardiac surgeon on the operating table, using diagnostic methods such as ECG, EchoEG (echocardiography), angiography, EPE (electrophysiological examination).
Cardiac surgery in Israel: “maze” operation for the treatment of arrhythmia
This is a complex operation with an increased risk of complications, performed mainly on patients who need other procedures. The purpose of the “maze” is to restore the sinus rhythm of the heart. To do this, the cardiac surgeon creates a “maze” of micro-incisions in the atrial myocardium. The labyrinth of scars formed at the site “does not let” impulses along the pathological pathways in the atria and thereby prevents their fibrillation.
Modified versions of the “maze” are also carried out in Israel:
using radiofrequency ablation to create a “maze” on the surface of the atria (instead of a scalpel, the surgeon uses an electrode);
using cryoablation to isolate the atria from pathological impulses (freezing and damage to myocardial cells are performed, in place of which a “maze” of fibrous tissue appears);
without opening the chest through several punctures in the intercostal spaces (in some patients who do not need other types of cardiac surgery).
The effectiveness of the “maze” in Israel: the absence of atrial fibrillation in patients for 15 years reaches 95-98%. Restoring a normal rhythm in patients after surgery completely eliminates the risk of cardiac arrest and stroke. Three months later, after the final formation of the “labyrinth”, after the examination, drug therapy is canceled.
Surgical Treatment of Aortic Aneurysm in Israel
In Israel, since the 90s of the last century, all types of operations for aortic aneurysms have been performed. Their result is almost guaranteed: the success rate is 85-90%, according to Israeli clinics. Interventions are also carried out in elderly patients (after 75-80 years) with the same indicators.
Open surgery is performed under conditions of hypothermia – reduced body temperature and using HLM. Small aneurysms are cut off from circulation with a clip. The area of the aorta with a large aneurysm is replaced with an endoprosthesis made of biocompatible materials. If the surgeon replaces the aortic root, then he uses a special technique that allows to save the patient’s own aortic valve.
Pediatric Cardiac Surgery in Israel
The achievements of pediatric cardiac surgery in Israel are also known throughout the world. Cardiac surgery is performed in specialized departments within large university medical centers (MCs). Among them:
Safra Children’s Hospital at Sheba Medical Center;
Institute of Cardiology at Schneider Hospital;
Department of Pediatric Cardiology of the Cardiology Center at Sourasky Medical Center;
Children’s cardiology department of Assuta Clinic;
Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Hadassah Medical Center.
The main direction of pediatric cardiac surgery is the correction of congenital malformations of the heart and blood vessels. Many of them are detected by ultrasound during fetal development. Cardiac surgeons perform the most complex heart surgeries in the first days of life, operate on premature babies, starting from a weight of 1 kg 400 g, and perform vascular surgeries on newborns with any weight. About 40% of all operations on the heart and blood vessels in children in Israel are performed under the age of one year.
Israeli pediatric cardiac surgeons correct:
defects of the interatrial interventricular septum;
Fallot’s tetrad;
stenosis of the pulmonary artery;
coarctation of the aorta, open ductus arteriosus, aortic and subaortic stenosis, aortopulmonary window;
transposition of the main vessels;
anomalies of the coronary arteries, coronary fistulas;
various heart valve defects;
double discharge of the right ventricle;
hypoplasia of the left parts of the heart;
abnormal pulmonary venous return/pulmonary venous stenosis, vascular rings, and other malformations of the cardiovascular system.
Many operations, as in adult patients, are performed by surgeons using minimally invasive techniques. An interdisciplinary approach is practiced, taking into account comorbidity and the needs of each child. With all the advantages, the price of cardiac surgery in Israel in pediatric clinics is usually less than in pediatric cardiology centers in Germany and the USA.
Heart Transplantation in Israel
The first donor heart transplantation operation in Israel is performed in 1968. In 2012, a fully artificial heart is implanted in an adult patient, and in 2019 – in a child. Cardiac surgeons install a high-tech artificial heart to the patient temporarily, while waiting for a donor organ. Israel has accumulated successful experience in heart transplantation for adults and children. In the presence of a donor’s heart, organ transplantations can be performed with good long-term results by cardiac surgeons at several medical centers in Israel, such as the Beilison Medical Center and the Hadassah Medical Center.
Cardiac Surgery in Israel: Early Rehabilitation After Surgery
Cardiac surgery in Israel is characterized by early postoperative rehabilitation. An interdisciplinary team of specialists “puts patients on their feet” after surgery of any complexity within 7 days. Therefore, most patients are discharged home after surgical treatment of the heart in Israel in two weeks.
