''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.

''A serious professional doctor. Treats everyone in a humane way, a cordial and relaxing personal treatment. Answer every question professionally. A doctor with patience .Paintly drew on me the outline of the operation. With a soothing voice of encouragement. I felt a personal attitude talking at eye level without ego. My husband who was stressed also received a warm personal treatment.

''Dr. Marian Khatib operated on me for oncoplastic surgery at Ichilov. The operation was very successful and every doctor / medical technician / nurse who sees it does not stop praising the results at Rambam Hospital because there I receive the continuation of the treatments because of my place of residence.
Beyond that, of all the many doctors I receive treatment from, Dr. Marian Khatib is the most humane, pleasant and caring doctor beyond what is required. I really have not come across a good doctor or doctor like her as a person and as a doctor

''Excellent doctor! Professional and thorough. And no less important - human, dedicated and committed. From her precise diagnosis stage, through the close accompaniment to the successful surgery, Dr. Khatib is an exceptional physician and stands out for her many qualities.
Along the way she showed rare patience and tenderness, always found time to take an interest in my well-being, answer and explain at length about any question, calming and instilling hope. I have no doubt that thanks to her coping with the disease, treatment and recovery were easier.
Highly recommend!

''I think you have to be human and human first of all !!!
The amazing Dr. Marian from day one beyond being professional, was human and inclusive. Not just me even my family members who accompanied me to every meeting with her.
Professional, pedantic, attentive, humane and smiling !!
What fun to know in all this damn disease that there are people like Dr. Marian who give hope.
In addition, thanks to her insistence and resourcefulness she saved my life after the surgery (when others did not want to hear at all)
Throughout my recovery period she did not stop demanding my well-being in messages and if necessary a sermon that I would come for a review from now on.
Every day I thank God that I am in the hands of a professional and humane doctor above all else.
Whoever her patient was won her ...
The angel in white !!!

''For over two years I have been looking for a surgeon with a name to get the best service and result I can ask for. I came to 3 surgeons in Ramat Aviv, Assuta and the Haifa area. Everyone would sound to me like a grinder of less reliable money in my experience. I was looking for something else so I did not close with them because it turns out I was fit to be operated on under the public. And like any surgery in public, you do not expect much, certainly not from a surgeon .. I was looking for the right surgeon for me, I had a hard time getting it but in the end I succeeded with effort and that after two years. Thanks to the Creator of the world who sent me Dr. Marian Khatib who gave me first of all the attitude and adaptation to my need. Her sensitivity to me, listening, understanding the situation made me realize that I can be calm (strong intuition). On the day of the surgery I felt how much she wanted to be ready to know exactly what needed to be done and how and at the same time gave me confidence - that the result would be exactly what I wanted. Indeed, I came out of an operation I did not believe in the change in me that she had created, in my important requests that had come true. Designed just the way I wanted. This is not the end of it, Dr. Marian Khatib continued to be part of the recovery process even after my departure from the hospital until today (two months later). I highly recommend it, it is to gain not only professional hands it is much more than that, believe me as soon as you meet it. I did not reach her privately, everything is done through the public - her way is what makes her more than a senior doctor in the department !!!!!!

Her dedication !!!

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.
