Everything is made especially for children (that is, low toilets, lots of flowers everywhere, children’s books …).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

examination and diagnosis
I was sick for three years! In Ukraine they shot me, they said I was healthy!!! but I was sick and tired!!! No one heard me, they said I was a pretender!!! Many diagnoses were made and treatments were not clear for three years, I was tortured!!! they decided to go abroad!! they chose Israel!!! what she didn’t regret for a second!!! she went and Ikhylov!! the doctors are top class!!
the girls who accompanied me probably worried about me more than I did!! doctors don’t have honor like ours do, doctors are simple and very smart, the specialists are top class!!!! in a few days they made a diagnosis, conducted all the examinations!!! huge thank you to everyone who was involved in organizing my trip, to everyone who accompanied me everywhere, and thank you for your professionalism and excellent attitude towards people!!! I advise everyone to go there!!!!
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!

Мой лечащий эндокринолог, доктор Гурштейн – наш соотечественник, считающийся одним из лучших в клинике. Это мнение подтверждено экзаменационными результатами, которые врачи получают регулярно. УЗИ мне делала приветливая женщина, которой за 60. Оказывается, это Майя Коэн – врач, которой нет равных. За многолетнюю практику израильский доктор показала, что умеет справиться с любым пациентом, шутя и подбадривая, несмотря на желание некоторых пациентов покинуть ее кабинет из-за боязни услышать нечто неприятное о своей болезни. Невозможно умолчать и о русскоязычном координаторе Анне, умеющей успокоить, поддержать, уговорить и все грамотно организовать. Огромная благодарность! Друзья! Дай вам Бог избежать любое подозрение на онкологическое заболевание.

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.

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.

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.

Violetta was bitten by a dog, her face was terribly disfigured. In Russia, plastic surgeons refused to treat such terrible injuries, but in Hadassah, Professor Alexander Margulis took on this difficult case. It’s too early to talk about the final result, but after each visit, the girl’s condition improves more and more.

He put himself at our disposal 24 hours a day with sensitivity, patience and above all, professionalism of the highest standard. He was our support, gave us personal support in the most difficult moments.

He denied our diagnosis, and the examination showed that my girl (four months old) is healthy, and the operation she performed in Russia is a big mistake. We agreed to do a corrective operation in Israel.
I would like to note the well-coordinated work of your center, all negotiations with the doctor were translated competently, clearly, and received a lot of advice.
I want to wish everyone great health, longevity, your work is not easy and deserves gratitude from patients.

Still, medicine is somewhat cheaper there.

Now I recommend all friends, neighbors and acquaintances to contact only Assuta and not waste precious time and health visiting Russian Aesculapians!

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!

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!

Mammary cancer
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.

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!

Mammary cancer
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.

Surgical operation: Israel offers innovative solutions
Israel is recognized as a country where the level of medical development is one of the highest in the world. Among other progressive areas is surgery: the country’s clinics perform complex surgeries using innovative techniques often unavailable in countries with less developed medical technology. For example, 95% of all surgical interventions are performed using minimally traumatic techniques, thanks to which it is possible to reduce the amount of blood loss, reduce the dose of anesthesia, and minimize complications and recovery time after surgery. Minor invasive surgery requires special training from the doctor, so all Israeli surgeons skilled in minimally invasive techniques undergo special training and have the necessary skills and experience.
Postoperative care is also important: thanks to the high qualification of medical staff, patients can more easily tolerate the recovery process. This is confirmed by the patients who have had surgery in Israel: reviews of Experts Medical service clients are full of gratitude to doctors and nurses.
Areas of Israeli surgery
People from all over the world, including ordinary patients and celebrities, come to Israel for surgery. The most popular among CIS patients are such directions of Israeli surgery:
Methods by which surgeries are performed in Israel
Endoscopic surgeries. This technique has replaced the traditional open surgeries, which are now carried out in Israel only in exceptional cases when endoscopic intervention is impossible. The principle of the method is that all surgical manipulations are carried out either through a small tissue incision or through a natural opening in the human body. For example, removing a tumor in the lung or intervertebral hernia is carried out through a small, a few centimeters, incision on the body. Special equipment is inserted into it, which provides illumination of the operated area and a miniature camera that transmits the image to the monitor. The surgeon performs the operation with special miniature instruments, which are also introduced into the surgical incision. The accuracy of the manipulation is tracked on the monitor since the doctor does not have direct visual contact with the area he operates.
Laparoscopic surgery. This is a type of endoscopic surgery that is carried out for pathologies of abdominal organs and female reproductive organs. The method is also used in the treatment of obesity, in bariatric surgery. The surgeon makes several punctures in the abdominal wall, through which all manipulations are performed. Recently, in clinics in Israel, SILS has become very popular, and even less traumatic than conventional laparoscopy: the intervention is carried out through a single puncture in the navel area. This method is good because there are almost no traces and scars after the operation.
Endovascular surgery in Israel. Conducted when it is necessary to operate on the heart (for example, reconstruction or replacement of heart valves) or blood vessels (for example, to install a stent). This technique can also be used to destroy tumors (vessel embolization). Instead of making a large incision, the surgeon makes a puncture in a major artery (usually in the groin, upper arm, or thigh). Through this incision, a flexible catheter is inserted into the vessel and brought to the pathology site under the equipment’s control. This is followed by manipulations to eliminate the pathology. For example, the elimination of the pathological area in the myocardium in arrhythmia or the installation of a stent on a narrowed vessel. To destroy the tumor, surgeons close the vessel that supplies it with blood, which leads to the degradation of the neoplasm. Unlike open surgery, endovascular surgery does not require a long recovery period.
Robot-assisted surgeries. Today, this innovative type of surgery is becoming more and more widespread because all major Israeli clinics have the necessary equipment and trained doctors. With the help of robot surgeon Da Vinci, doctors can conduct the intervention with jewel-like precision without affecting the vital centers, vessels and nerves located near the focus of pathology. This is especially important when the operation is performed on the heart or lungs. When operating on the prostate robot-surgeon Da Vinci has a much better chance of preserving potency, and when operating on the uterus – childbearing function. After all, all manipulations are not a man but a robot, which eliminates the slightest inaccuracies in movement and tremors of the hands.
Operations on the brain. If before the removal of brain tumors, aneurysms, treatment of hydrocephalus was held with the mandatory trepanation of the skull, now more gentle techniques are available in Israel. For example, neuroendoscopy – is an operation in which a small hole is made in the palate or access to pathology through the nasal passages. This avoids severe complications and makes the recovery period much shorter. Another progressive type of surgery – awake craniotomy. It is used when the pathology is located near critical functional centers – the center of speech, movement, swallowing and so on. The patient during the operation is not immersed in anesthesia; he remains conscious. The surgeon, carrying out manipulations on the brain, can control whether they do not violate these important centers: he asks the patients questions and asks them to do simple actions. This method helps to avoid severe consequences of the operation.
Reconstructive surgeries. This type of plastic surgery is required for people after severe injuries, after operations to remove tumors and so on. In Israel, doctors practice the most advanced methods of mammoplasty with the use of artificial implants or tissues of the patient herself. If it is necessary to reconstruct the bones of the skeleton or skin can also be used tissues (bone tissue or skin flaps) of the patient himself. This allows the tissues to engraft better and faster without the risk of rejection. Also, high-quality implants with a long service life are used in the reconstruction. Before the operation, computer modeling is used to select the most anatomically appropriate implant.
Diagnostics before surgery
Even if the patient has undergone a complete examination in his home country, upon arrival in Israel, he will be diagnosed. This is because in countries with less developed medicine, it is not uncommon for a person to be misdiagnosed. In Israel, thanks to modern diagnostic techniques, the accuracy of the diagnosis is achieved in 99% of cases. Also, diagnosis allows doctors to establish the absence of contraindications to surgery to identify associated pathologies that can complicate the intervention. Thanks to diagnosis, doctors can plan the operation as accurately as possible and avoid risks for the patient.
Surgery in Israel: prices
While preparing for the trip, the patient familiarizes himself with the rates in Israeli clinics. The cost depends on the complexity of the surgical intervention, the method of its implementation, and the period that the patient will spend in the clinic under the supervision of doctors. Many patients who need a complex surgical intervention prefer to operate in Israel: the cost here is lower than in clinics in Germany, and the quality of surgery and professionalism of surgeons are at the same high level. The difference in prices can be as much as 30%.
