''From the moment I met Dr. Marian and throughout my surgery and follow ups, I felt a sense of relief and comfort.
In every appointment, she answered all my questions and showed me patience and kindness. My surgery went very well and her expertise throughout the process made the whole experience smooth and successful.
Dr. Marian was also highly responsive and whenever I reached out by phone she was happy to assist me and walk me through every step.
My experience was beyond positive and I am very thankful for her help, her incredible skills and her kindness.

''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.

''Dr. Marian Khatib is wonderful in every way.
From a professional point of view I am very satisfied all the way I got all the information I needed to get, the results of the oncoplastic surgery I underwent are no less excellent!
Personally Dr. Marian is unlike any other doctor I have encountered… speaks at eye level, very accessible, always responsive always pleasant, gives a feeling that she is completely with you, needless to say that in dealing with cancer these qualities are very very important to the patient and feeling all the way…
I would recommend and recommend to anyone dealing with breast cancer to be her patients.
Thanks every day I met her.

''I came to Dr. Marian Khatib after visiting 2 good breast surgeons, but Dr. Khatib is excellent !!! Exceeded them all !!!
I came to Dr. Khatib for another opinion
Before surgery to remove a cancerous hormonal lump. (Early detection). Dr. Marian Khatib captivated my heart with her humane attitude, humility, thoroughness and professionalism. She underwent a comprehensive manual examination of both breasts and lymph nodes, even though she had them
All protocols. Detailed and shared with me the surgical process, etc. A good friend who accompanied me and I immediately
We noticed that Dr. Khatib looks like someone extraordinary in the positive sense of course in the field, and we honestly said this is the doctor I want you to operate on. I felt I had found a doctor of supreme grace.
So yes Dr. Khatib finally operated on me and she has golden hands. I am already about two and a half weeks after the surgery and the scars are almost gone.
After and before the surgery, Dr. Khatib answered every question with patience, professionalism and peace of mind, and who like me in such tumultuous days knows that peace of mind, professionalism and knowledge, it is a very rare tier today to receive in one doctor. But there is such a doctor, thanks to the Creator of the world.
Dear Dr. Khatib Marian, the example of a masterpiece in the world of medicine and the Hippocratic Oath.
Thank you very much.🙂💞💖👌
May the Creator of the world bless you Amen.🙏

''About a month and a half ago, I underwent resection and reconstruction surgery by Dr. Khatib. I feel lucky to have such a doctor! The results of the surgery were excellent, relatively I did not have much pain, and aesthetically the reconstruction looked great, she undoubtedly did an amazing job. Beyond all that, Dr. Khatib treated me with devotion, she came several times to visit me when I was hospitalized, including on the eve of a holiday (which came at the expense of her own time), she also gave me her phone number so she is always available if there is a problem - in line This patient is very important to me. In my opinion, Dr. Khatib is a very talented and even extraordinary doctor, I believe she is going to be one of the leading surgeons in the country (if she is not already like that), before my surgery I even thought about doing the surgery in Assuta, I am so Glad I finally chose Dr. Khatib. Beyond her unique professional skills, she is a doctor who cares about her patients, speaks at eye level, is simply a human being.

''Dear Dr. Marian,
A little over a year ago, my world turned upside down without any warning and since then I have been on an endless journey to understand, to deal
And reinvent myself. But with all the difficulty, there are also points of light and grace along the way and that's what you were and are up to
For me. Miraculously, I "raffled off" you as a surgeon from the beginning and since then you have accompanied me with professionalism and humanity
Exceptional. I won a first-rate professional, with in-depth knowledge and golden hands. But just as important, I won
In an empathetic, sensitive, accessible, patient and inclusive doctor who, despite the load and pressures, always gives me a feeling that she is
See me, Sharon, and not just the dry medical file. Over time, I have also heard a lot about your patients and all of them,
Without exception, a similar experience. If I am destined to be medically monitored for the rest of my life, I can only hope that you will continue
Accompany me in this process.
I wish you all the best in the world and that you continue in the sacred work you do.
Thanks

''I went to Dr. Khatib Marian after receiving the answer from the biopsy that it was indeed a cancerous tumor, already when I entered the room my radiation was calm, she pleasantly explained to me everything I was going to go through.
Dr. Khatib brought me her private phone, so that I could correspond with her in messages (this is not obvious at all) and there was always an answer.
She decided on the type of surgery with me and shared with me everything I would have to go through, in complete thoroughness.
I had surgery very successfully, after that she made sure to come to me every day to the surgical ward to check what was with me, what the wounds looked like, how I was feeling in general.
In the postoperative checkup, I always made sure I arrived to see that the sutures would heal properly.
I got answers after the surgery that I would not need reoperation and everything was clean, Dr. Khatib is like an angel, she gives a sense of security and success, if you go through this unpleasant mask, at least with such an amazing doctor.
Thank you Dr. you are an amazing doctor.

''Dr. Khatib Marian is an angelic, thorough and professional doctor with a golden hand, attentive to the patient's desires and instills in her a sense of complete security. I came to her after I was scheduled for a complete mastectomy, including a nipple and crown. Dr. Khatib was not satisfied with reading previous testimonials, but asked to receive the discs of the tests I had already done, and even sent me for further tests, all in rare collaboration with the radiologist Dr. Orit Golan, whom she defined as "having a good eye."
After a thorough process of checking all the data, I underwent breast guard surgery and symmetry, and the result is perfect.
Blessed is Ichilov Hospital, these are his doctors!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Which breast procedures do you perform?
We offer a comprehensive range of procedures including breast-conserving surgery, oncoplastic reconstruction, mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, symmetry procedures, and risk-reducing surgery. Each procedure is tailored to your specific needs.
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.
What are the benefits of choosing Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?
This approach offers better cosmetic results, higher chances of breast preservation, and reduced need for additional reconstructive surgeries. Many patients experience improved self-image and quality of life after their procedure.
Am I a suitable candidate for Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?
Suitability depends on several factors including your cancer type and stage, breast size and shape, overall health, and personal preferences. We'll discuss all options during your consultation to determine the best approach for your situation.
What is the expected recovery time after surgery?
Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks and fully recover within 4-6 weeks. However, recovery time varies depending on the procedure and individual healing factors. We'll provide detailed recovery guidelines based on your specific surgery.
Is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover these procedures as they are part of cancer treatment. Our office will work with your insurance provider to determine coverage and assist with necessary authorizations.
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 are the potential risks and complications?
While we take every precaution, potential risks include infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and delayed healing. We'll discuss all possible complications and preventive measures during your consultation.
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.
