Almost an year ago I got an incredible help from Dr. Natalia. The determining the diagnosis and looking for right treatment was scary experience for me but Dr. Natalia not only confidently organised the process but also supported me morally. I am so thankful to her for finding me a perfect surgeon Prof. Hakan Agir and scheduling the whole process. She always was ready to give me detailed response on all my questions. After surgery in June 2022 I went to Istanbul two more times for examinations in October 2022 and March 2023 and these both times Dr. Natalia was there to help me with communication with doctors and organising my visit to Turkey.
Thank you Natalia!

Dr. Konstantin and Experts Medical have been a great help in the way to treat my father’s prostate cancer. They found me the best treatment option for my father which is doing SBRT (a type of advanced radiotherapy) using an MR-LINAC machine. I knew this new device is the best, but had difficulty finding the right hospital that had it, until Dr. Konstantin found the Acibadem Hospital in Istanbul and linked me with its staff. I highly appreciate his help as it was crucial for me to find the best device to treat my father. He has also shown great care regarding my father’s health and continuously followed up about his health status after the treatment. I wish him luck and strongly recommend his service to other patients.

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the doctors of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at Acibadem – they gave us the happiness of being parents. My husband and I are 34 years old, we have been married for 12 years, during this time it did not work out to conceive a child. This hospital was recommended to me, and I am very glad that I turned to them. Our son is already a year and a half! Thank you very much!

Hi! And good mood to everybody!
First of all, I’d like to express my deep gratitude to Experts Medical for their high attention and sincerity to patients. During my treatment my coordinator Natalia was in touch with me 24hours a day, to whom I am very grateful. She is a sensitive, attentive, and sympathetic person. Sometimes it seemed that she was more worried about me than I was about myself. This is an Angel who wants to help all suffering and depressed people.
Thank you very much for your warmth and care and all of your Experts Medical company for your work. You are great fellows! Health to all your team!

One of the best coordinators, my mom got sick and made terrible diagnoses. Dr. Konstantin organized everything clearly quickly and comfortably in a few days . For us, everything was organized to the smallest detail, starting with the daily transfer and ending with the delivery of medicines to the hotel, since we ourselves did not have time to go to the pharmacy. He was always available and we are very thankful to him for all these services!

Thank you very much to Natalia and Memorial Clinic, and especially to Prof. Necmettin Akdeniz. Wonderful, responsive doctor dermatologist, who not only knows his business perfectly, but also helps people to save money without prescribing unnecessary unnecessary tests and procedures!!!!!. Now all medicine has turned into a business, pumping out money, but thanks to this wonderful doctor and coordinator Natalia, I realized that there are still good professionals in the world!!!!. To compare the diagnosis, I compared several doctors and hospitals. I will leave a very bad review from me personally here about Medipol clinic in Istanbul, this is a place where they just stupidly make false diagnoses and make money from you! Good health to all!

Smas Lifting
Hello, I not only want, but also do not have the moral right not to leave my review about Natasha, the coordinator doctor. I needed to do a Smas lifting. This is one of the serious plastic surgeries and a good result depends on the good qualifications of the doctor. There are many surgeons in Turkey who deal with plastic surgery, when I corresponded with consultants, I felt only the monetary calculation and the speed of arrival. Once again browsing the sites, I am our Expert Medical, and I started communicating with Natasha. The more we talked, the more I realized that she was competent in all matters and had deep knowledge. She is a kind, wonderful, positive person. When choosing a doctor, she sent me the characteristics of many of the best doctors and the cost with all kinds of discounts. And I was glad to inform me that one of the best plastic surgeons, Dr. Emre, did a charity event to pay for it. During my stay at the clinic, I had many questions and Natasha solved them instantly, regardless of her free time from work, she was in touch even at 5 am and late in the evening. You don’t often see such an approach to work, such concern for people! I really want to thank your parents for raising such a wonderful Person. And to you, Natasha, from the bottom of my heart I wish you success in all your endeavors, health and prosperity to you and your family for many years to come!

I addressed to the Medicana hospital. The translator met me, so there are no language barriers. The first time I signed up for a consultation with a gynecologist-reproductologist Selman Lacinu. He wins someone’s favour immediately. He is very neat in inspection. He offers a variety of treatment options based on your wishes and material capabilities. Very competent doctor! After consultation with him, I immediately decided on IVF. We arrived with my spouse on the next day. The professor himself conducts the whole cycle. All staff is very attentive, sensitive, and friendly. I was very pleased and recommend this hospital to everyone!!!

I addressed to the Medicana hospital. The translator met me, so there are no language barriers. The first time I signed up for a consultation with a gynecologist-reproductologist Selman Lacinu. He wins someone’s favour immediately. He is very neat in inspection. He offers a variety of treatment options based on your wishes and material capabilities. Very competent doctor! After consultation with him, I immediately decided on IVF. We arrived with my spouse on the next day. The professor himself conducts the whole cycle. All staff is very attentive, sensitive, and friendly. I was very pleased and recommend this hospital to everyone!!!

Neck cyst
The level and quality of medicine are high. The wards are very comfortable and cozy. In the clinic, the child felt comfortable: the interior was made in the style of a game room with slot machines and colorful chairs. The doctor’s competence is at the height, even more. Attitude towards the patient is very good, the staff is responsive. We are very satisfied!
Hello, this is the first time I have been examined at this clinic. I want to say that the ophthalmologist explained everything in a very friendly and intelligible way. He really knows his job. After examination, I received a recommendation from the doctor. I would like to come back next year again.

Heart valve replacement
Let someone say that heart valve replacement is already an ordinary operation.
But knowing the cases when it ended with serious complications, I decided to play it safe and chose a clinic with an excellent reputation – Yeditepe University Hospital. The hospital itself is located on a pretty territory, with a small garden. This, of course, is my subjective opinion, but according to the quality of the operation and the care of hospital staf, I really appreciated the staff working there.

Hip replacement
Hip replacement is a very difficult operation, specially when you are 55 years old. However, my daughter said that I had nothing to fear at Yeditepe Hospital. She accopmanied my in this hospital. It was pleasantly surprised that we were met there and taken directly to the hospital. We were even assigned an escort, or rather a coordinator. After taking all the necessary pictures and passing the necessary tests, I underwent the operation. But I cannot say that rehabilitation was as difficult as I expected. After all, literally after 2 weeks I was able to move around calmly. My daughter was very happy that I recovered so fast. And what?! You also need to play with your grandchildren!

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!!

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.

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.
Natalya
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.
Elena Churkina
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.

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.

leg surgery
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.
Natalia
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.

I am treating in Ichilov.
I heard many negative reviews from the Israelis themselves (I apologize for such a frankness), but I myself have never been “caught.” Everything that they did there with me was top-notch, very attentive staff, instant response to everything.
Maybe I just was lucky!? I don’t know. But I highly recommend it!
Irina

I would like to thank Professor Baniel, Doctor Nado and all the staff of the urology department of the Rabin Medical Center. They removed a kidney carcinoma from my dad with damage to the aorta and metastases in the lymph nodes. My father is no longer young, and for him the operation was complicated, but everything went fine. During the entire rehabilitation period, my father was always surrounded with care and attention. Thank you all for a great job!

стеноз левой коронарной артерии
Услышав, что у меня стеноз левой коронарной артерии, я пребывала в шоковом состоянии. Рекомендации специалистов сделать шунтирование восприняла, как приговор. Родня настаивала, чтобы я пролечилась именно за границей. Никогда раньше я не выезжала за рубеж, поэтому очень боялась, а тем более, ехать нужно было на лечение. Однако, по приезде в Израиль, меня встретила приятная девушка – русскоязычный координатор Вика. Она помогла мне добраться до медцентра, куда я направлялась. Там меня прооперировали. Все прошло без осложнений. Я не жалею, что поехала именно в этот центр, поскольку убедилась, насколько профессионально и слаженно здесь работают не только специалисты, но и весь персонал. Особая благодарность профессору Шмуэлю Фуксу. Спасибо всем за внимание к моей персоне. «Рабин» – это то учреждение, в котором работают настоящие профессионалы!

Два года назад узнала о том, что у меня рак груди. К счастью, выявили опухоль, пока она не успела дать метастазы. Я осознавала, что очень ограничена во времени и нужно срочно принимать решение. Посоветовавшись со знакомыми, приняла решение поехать в Израиль, где мне впоследствии провели операцию по удалению и реконструкции груди. Я находилась под наблюдением у профессора Ринат Ерушальми, которая оказалась не только хорошим врачом, но и замечательным человеком. Также в этот период удалось поездить по Израилю и посмотреть достопримечательности, что помогло немного отвлечься. Сейчас каждые полгода приезжаю на проверку и продолжаю совмещать ее с отдыхом.

IVF abroad
According to WHO, every fifth couple faces the problem of infertility.
An effective solution for those who aspire to become parents, but do not have such an opportunity, has become in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is an assisted reproductive technology, which is based on the artificial insemination of the egg in the laboratory.
Many couples from countries of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, after many years of unsuccessful infertility treatment in their countries, choose IVF abroad. According to the reviews of patients after IVF abroad, they managed to achieve pregnancy on the first attempt.
The success rate of IVF abroad
IVF has a long history abroad – more than 40 years. During this time, about 8 million children were born. According to statistics, the average success rate of IVF abroad is 55-65%, and in some cases, it reaches and even exceeds 80%.
Among the leading countries where IVF procedures are successfully performed are Turkey, Israel, Spain, Germany, and South Korea. The effectiveness of infertility treatment in Turkey is about 87%, in Germany – 86-87%, and in Israel – 89-92%.
For a successful pregnancy, several IVF attempts are sometimes necessary. Thanks to the achievements of foreign medicine, specialists manage to achieve successful results in most patients for the first time.
Benefits of IVF Abroad
The main advantage of artificial insemination is the possibility of pregnancy with complete infertility, followed by the birth of a healthy child.
High rates of infertility treatment abroad are due to the following factors:
Skills, knowledge, and experience of doctors, many of whom are world experts in the field of reproduction.
Availability of advanced technologies and laboratories for 100% accurate diagnosis and procedure.
The possibility of carrying out procedures using assisted reproductive technologies and additional services. For example, cryopreservation of embryos, genetic diagnostics, and assisted hatching.
Availability of egg and sperm donor banks.
Affordable cost. Many clinics have developed special programs of the “all-inclusive” type.
Medical centers are accredited according to JCI standards, which guarantee a high level of medical services.
Most clinics are located in ecologically clean resort areas, which allows to combine an ECO tour abroad with a vacation.
Particular attention should be paid to follow-up after IVF abroad. Pregnancy should be managed by an experienced obstetrician-gynecologist who specializes in the management of pregnancies after IVF.
Indications for IVF abroad
The absence of pregnancy in 35% of cases is associated with female infertility, in 25% with male infertility, in 30% with infertility of both spouses. Doctors talk about infertility in the absence of pregnancy for at least 12 months with regular sexual activity.
It is recommended to seek medical help in the absence of pregnancy:
if the woman is under 35 years old – for at least one year;
from 35 years – after 6 months;
older than 40 years – immediately after an unsuccessful conception.
The IVF procedure abroad is used when conservative therapy has not led to pregnancy.
Artificial insemination is shown as the only chance to get rid of infertility in pathologies when natural insemination is impossible:
in severe endometriosis;
due to obstruction or absence of fallopian tubes;
with low sperm quality: low mobility, morphological abnormalities, low concentration of normal spermatozoa in the ejaculate;
at high risks of genetic abnormalities: during IVF by the ICSI method, genetic analysis of the embryo is available;
in the presence of antibodies to spermatozoa;
with unexplained fertility problems – 15% of cases.
Infertility treatment abroad involves a thorough examination of the couple and the preparation of an individual therapy regimen. It includes artificial insemination using advanced techniques.
Also, IVF abroad is resorted to:
single women who want to have a child out of wedlock (using donor sperm);
single men who have a desire to become a father (under the program of surrogate motherhood).
Contraindications for IVF abroad
The procedure of artificial insemination cannot be carried out with a number of pathologies:
in oncological diseases of any organs;
due to acquired deformities of the body of the uterus;
due to congenital malformations of the uterus;
with benign formations of the ovaries and uterus;
with severe mental disorders.
Relative contraindications include an acute inflammatory process of any localization in the body. In this case, preliminary therapy is carried out using sparing modern drugs.
How IVF is carried out abroad?
It should be understood that IVF abroad is not a procedure but a whole range of medical measures aimed at achieving a healthy physiological pregnancy. In-vitro insemination is the basic IVF procedure abroad. On average, the cycle usually takes 15-25 days. It consists of the main stages:
Taking hormonal drugs for 8-12 days to improve ovarian function. Doctors monitor hormone levels and the production of mature eggs using ultrasound and blood tests.
Egg retrieval. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, in which a gynecologist removes a woman’s eggs. It is performed under ultrasound guidance and under local anesthesia.
Insemination. In the laboratory, the obtained eggs are combined with spermatozoa. Specialists carefully monitor the formation of embryos in fertilized eggs.
Transfer of one or more embryos to the uterus after 3-5 days. The procedure is painless.
Implantation of multiple embryos can lead to multiple pregnancies. Unused embryos are frozen. In the future, they can be used for a second attempt or given to a donor bank.
Pregnancy occurs if at least one of the embryos manages to successfully attach to the uterine mucosa. After 2 weeks, the woman takes a pregnancy test.
Advanced IVF Technologies
To increase the chances of pregnancy, doctors may use additional reproductive techniques:
ICSI. With the immobility of spermatozoa, the doctor introduces them into the egg using microsurgical instruments. This technology is used in 70% of cases. The ICSI method fertilizes up to 80% of the eggs, while with conventional IVF – 50%.
IMSI. In case of violation of the formation of spermatozoa, doctors select the strongest and most mobile spermatozoa using a microscope with 6,000 magnifications.
TESA. In the absence or low concentration of spermatozoa, a preliminary testicular puncture is performed.
Auxiliary hatching. Destruction of the shell around the embryo to facilitate its transfer to the uterus.
In case of an unsuccessful attempt, doctors give the woman time to rest and repeat the procedure after 4-6 months, taking into account the experience of the failed attempt.
What are the chances of pregnancy with IVF abroad?
Every year, about 2 million couples undergo IVF procedures abroad.
The result is the birth of more than 500,000 healthy babies. The success of IVF abroad directly depends on the age, health, and lifestyle of a woman. Women who have given birth before are more likely to become pregnant.
According to the SART (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology), the average IVF effectiveness depending on age, without taking into account the method of treatment is:
women under 35 have the highest chances – 55.6%;
patients 35-40 years old – 27-40%;
women over 40 years old – 12%.
IVF medical centers abroad have higher rates in all categories. For example, 65% or more first-attempt pregnancies and successful pregnancies in older patients.
Leading Countries for IVF Abroad
According to the reviews of patients of Experts Medical who have undergone IVF abroad, the best IVF clinics in the world are located in Turkey, Spain, Israel, Germany, Austria, India, and South Korea. These countries are leaders in the field of reproductive medicine.

Turkey
The choice of patients in favor of Turkey is explained by the high success rate of IVF and the affordable price. According to the general data of Turkish clinics, the effectiveness of the procedure for women under 35 years old reaches 71%, for 35-40 years old – 65%, for 40-45 years old – 54%, which significantly exceeds the world average.
Many hospitals collaborate with university hospitals in the United States. This allows doctors to learn and improve their skills, and patients to receive advanced treatment. Among the most popular clinics:
Memorial Clinic Network is the introduction of microinjections of sperm into the egg that can increase the chances of pregnancy up to 95%.
Anadolu Hospital. The success of the procedure is 13% higher than in the United States. Among the technologies are the selection of active spermatozoa under the TESE microscope and the genetic analysis of PDG embryos.
Medipol Hospital. Turkey’s leading IVF specialists work here, the success rate is above average (65%), all modern technologies are available, and the “Standard IVF Program” package is in effect.

To identify genetic abnormalities, doctors conduct a DNA chip analysis. It is 50 times more accurate than conventional prenatal testing. An incubator-embryoscope with a high-resolution camera is installed to monitor the embryo, which transmits images to a computer in real-time. According to the clinic, every second couple gets pregnant after 1 attempt. Dr. Shai Elitzur, who specializes in the cryopreservation of spermatozoa, eggs, embryos, and co-director of the clinic Daniel Seidman, and gynecologist Adrian Shulman, work here.
Herzliya Medical Center. The clinic received the highest rating from the Israeli Ministry of Health for the quality and safety of medical services – 100 points.

Sourasky Clinic (Ichilov). A package (In Vitro Fertilization – IVF) with donor sperm is developed. The procedure is carried out by reproductive specialists Professor Ami Amit and Dr. Azam Fouad.
Israel’s unique geographic location allows couples to combine treatment and relaxation. Therapeutic mud of the Dead Sea promotes healing from many inflammatory processes in the reproductive sphere, which can also be the cause of fertility disorders.
Spain
For IVF in Spain, the following are popular among patients:
Clinics of the Kiron Salud network are the country’s leading reproductive centers where the use of donor material and the choice of the sex of the child by future parents are available. Also, the procedure is carried out for single women who are not married. A unique method, the tandem IVF cycle, is used in the hospital. This is the fertilization of the own and donor eggs. This combination significantly increases the chances of success due to the possibility of choosing the highest quality embryos for replanting.
Teknon Medical Center in Barcelona. The hospital has its own donor bank and the Dona-Dóna donor program, thanks to which women with an insufficient number of eggs can become mothers. According to Teknon statistics, the success rate of IVF in the clinic at the first attempt is 59%.
Many patients from Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan, choose Spain not only for IVF abroad but also for the subsequent management of pregnancy and childbirth. In addition to excellent medical care, this is an opportunity for a future baby to obtain citizenship under a simplified scheme at the age of 18.
IVF prices abroad

the complexity of the manipulations performed in each specific case;
doctor’s qualifications;
additional non-medical expenses.
The average IVF price in Turkey is $2800-3800, in Israel $9000-10000, in Spain €6400. With donor material, the cost is 30-40% more expensive.
