''Dr. Marian was the first and only physician to examine me and immediately took decisive action by arranging biopsies, ensuring no time was wasted in understanding my case of breast cancer. She handled all documentation and appointments with exceptional speed and efficiency, and took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan with clarity and complete transparency. Her guidance led me to an excellent oncology team, and she continued to follow up closely with me before and long after my surgery. Even on weekends, she remained accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in my well-being, showing empathy, openness, and remarkable dedication.

''I met Dr. Marian during my cancer journey, initially for a biopsy and further investigations after I decided to change hospitals and continue my treatment under her care. From the very beginning, and especially from the moment she informed me of my diagnosis, I felt that I was in safe and capable hands—a feeling that never left me.
Dr. Marian performed my lumpectomy with incredible precision—like a true jeweler. The stitches are so well done, they are barely visible. Her surgical skill is outstanding, but what makes her truly exceptional is her compassion and dedication.
She is not only a brilliant surgeon but also a woman with a big heart, someone who knows how to embrace and support her patients through one of the most difficult stages of life. Her advice is always thoughtful, she is consistently reachable by phone, and she patiently answers every question—no matter how big or small.
I have never regretted my decision to entrust my care to Dr. Marian. I am endlessly grateful for her expertise, kindness, and unwavering support.

''I was diagnosed with DCIS and underwent a mastectomy performed by Dr Marian Al Khatib From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and professional. She took the time to explain every step of the process and made me feel reassured during a very difficult time. What stood out the most was her dedication to my recovery, she used advanced techniques to support wound healing, and the result has been amazing. The scar is minimal, and the healing process was much smoother than I had anticipated. Her follow-up care was consistent and thoughtful. I truly felt cared for, not just as a patient, but as a person. I highly recommend Dr Marian Al Khatib for anyone facing a similar journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Oncoplastic Surgery differ from traditional breast cancer surgery?
Oncoplastic surgery combines tumor removal with immediate reconstruction in a single operation. This approach allows us to achieve the best possible aesthetic result while maintaining the same high standards of cancer treatment.
When can reconstructive surgery be performed after radiation or chemotherapy?
Timing depends on your individual treatment plan and healing progress. We typically recommend waiting 6-12 months after radiation therapy. We'll coordinate with your oncology team to determine the optimal timing.
What is the role of an Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon in my treatment?
Our role combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques to remove breast cancer while maintaining your breast's natural appearance. We plan and perform operations that prioritize both your cancer treatment and cosmetic outcomes.
How will you ensure breast symmetry after surgery?
We use careful pre-operative planning and various surgical techniques to achieve symmetry. This may include adjusting the unaffected breast if needed. We'll monitor your results through regular follow-up appointments and can perform additional adjustments if necessary.
