''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. Khatib is a very professional and thorough doctor, humane, attentive to the patient, answers all questions patiently and pleasantly and dispels the concerns. Speaks at eye level. She felt I was hesitant and checked again if there was another solution. For any question. I underwent oncoplastic surgery and the results of the surgery speak for themselves. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an oncoplastic surgeon (surgery and plastic surgery). Dr. Khatib is an asset in the field and whoever is treated by her wins !!!

''This is a pleasant doctor, who explains with great patience and professionalism the various stages that go through before the operation. Dr. Khatib listened to my questions and answered them all and also wrote down before her and implemented my specific requests regarding the surgery and I felt that she respected them.
The surgery itself was successful and the scars that remained delicate are not to say beautiful (everything is relative).
There are many excellent doctors with professional hands, so the importance of what is beyond, personality and humanity is very great. I highly recommend Dr. Khatib

''There are not enough words to thank Dr. Khatib for her dedicated, attentive professional care and her human and personal attitude. The entire oncology staff that treats me at the hospital is excellent. I am a veteran in the paths of life and Dr. Khatib is among the most professional and attentive I have met in my 74 years of life. I was very happy to give an opinion on such a special doctor.

''Dr. Khatib is a doctor who meets once in a generation !!! A higher power brought me to her and saved me from a sentence of complete amputation. From the beginning I reached her was very empathetic and attentive to me. She sees the person behind the disease and manages to connect to his needs (an ability that other doctors lose along the way, during their work). She was right at the beginning to strive for me to meet my desires. (This was so significant in the process I went through as having a multifocal breast disease that was borderline in terms of the possibility of breast preservation.) To that end, she put a lot of time and effort into making the complex oncoplastic surgery successful. And ending with the invested surgery and the amazing result !!!! In conclusion, a first-rate professional surgeon, caring and dedicated.

''An exceptionally professional and humane doctor.
Works with discretion, calmly, and with endless patience and humanity.
Despite all the difficulties, Marian worked tirelessly to understand my needs and tailor the right solution for me.
A doctor who is not expected to meet and more in the public health system.
No words. Highly recommend.

''Dr. Khatib is a caring and thorough professional doctor and most of all made me feel like I am her only patient always explaining pleasantly and calmly and addressing all the details and trying to understand what things are very important to me.
I had an operation two months ago at the wonderful Dr. Khatib must note that my case was not so simple and conventional and Dr. Khatib operated on me and did an amazing job. During the hospitalization she came every day to check on me and was available for my questions and always answered pleasantly and kindly. upper.

''Dr. Khatib
Brings a rare combination of humanity and professionalism. From the first moment she gave me her personal phone number and accompanied me through the entire process consisting of patience and inquiries as if I were the only patient.
She also took care to facilitate the bureaucratic dealings, the various tests and the determination of the surgery.
Performed the surgery on the best side while maintaining the organs of my body and understanding in the deepest sense that a human being is facing her and not a collection of organs. An important understanding of the digestive and recovery processes in this complex process.
And all this in modesty and at eye level.
Straighten up, Dr. Khatib. Keep going, inspiring to meet people like you.

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.
