''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 one of the doctors you are lucky enough to win. She has accompanied me with a combined professionalism of sensitivity, caring and endless patience. Along the way I felt that I was not alone, that there was someone who cared for me, was available to me and was there for me.
Dr. Marian Khatib is a surgeon and plastic surgeon by grace. The surgery was best performed both medically and aesthetically and recovery from it, thanks to her professional work, has been easy. I thank Dr. Marian Khatib for making this complex journey more optimistic.

''Dr. Marian Khatib is my lottery.
I chose her both as a surgeon and as a plastic surgeon, beyond the miraculous result, we went through a process together that I could not dream of.
From the first meeting Marian gave it her all as Ilan I am the only patient in the world, answered all my questions, with the utmost patience, went hand in hand with me for surgery, went through all the options with me, did not move from me in recovery, was available at any moment, treated recommendation and worried why Outside its area of responsibility.
The successful surgery and the easy recovery from it are necessarily an outgrowth of the talent and personality of the super doctor Dr. Marian Khatib.
Even today, with the whole story behind me, Dr. Khatib continues to keep in touch and make sure everything is in order.
Marianne took all my fears, questions, anxieties and pains, wrapped them up and did not leave until I recovered.
I will summarize what I wished her in the thank you letter-
That life will treat you the way you treated me.

''Dr. Khatib gives the feeling that you are the only patient she has. She checked on Shlomi several times after she operated on me. The feeling she gets is that she cares about the patient in front of her. A doctor with a big heart !!! The communication with WhatsApp on the phone was and still is excellent.

''I came to Dr. Khatib with lumps in her breast at a relatively young age. She accompanied me patiently and professionally from the first appointment until after the operation. Dr. Khatib answered every question I had and was attentive to the concerns I had. After the surgery I was left with a scar that was barely noticeable, a point that was very important to me personally. Highly recommend

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.
