''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 precancerous calcifications of wide amplitude. Four doctors I consulted unanimously recommended complete excision and reconstruction. For a year I tried to heal myself in natural ways that include: nutrition, supplements, physical activity and various alternative treatments. I continued to be monitored throughout this period. After a year, an ultrasound revealed a lump that, after a biopsy, proved to be cancerous. The insurance agent with whom I am insured recommended me to see a doctor he knew about his home. After the first minute I sat down in front of Dr. Khativ, I realized that I had found my doctor. A doctor who was interested in me, in my story, in what was important to me and I felt that she was with me, that she would do anything for me. Until I came to her, I was not at all aware of the fact that there was another option for me of a partial excision, a conservative surgery, exactly what I was looking for, a gentler and softer option for my body. So that we can be sure that this is indeed a possible and realistic option for me, Dr. Khativ first started with the task of collecting all the data, turned every stone, checked every scrap of information that came from all the imaging, and did not give up until the last minute the option of surgery to preserve the breast and breast feeding. All the way Dr. Hativ was available for me and accompanied me in setting the appointments and receiving the results. Only after all the results have arrived and all the criteria have been met, is a date set for surgery. Dr. Khativ did for me above and beyond what I could expect and ask for from a doctor of her status. The surgery went smoothly, during the two days of hospitalization, Dr. Khativ came every evening to check on me. After a few days I came to her to remove the drain and then for inspection and follow-up. Happily, the results of the pathology also allowed me to keep the nipple and avoid its amputation. I am grateful for the privilege of meeting and being operated on by Dr. Hativ.

''I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Khatib who offered me an innovative therapeutic approach, one that respects and preserves the woman's body. To my delight, I chose to trust Dr. Khatib, who was right in the clinical diagnosis and also in the decision to have a conservative operation. Dr. Khatib performed both the surgical part and the plastic part superbly, beautifully and without complications or pain. I've got no words. Thank you and recommend. Prof. Iris Morag (Physician)

''I underwent surgery by Dr. Marian Khatib to perform oncoplastic breast preservation surgery and sentinel glands on the healing side (BH with pathology and clean margins) and adjustment of the healthy breast. A doctor of supreme grace! Professional and courteous, if you are undecided she is the one! I came to Dr. Khatib after we met with two surgeons who recommended a complete resection following extensive calcifications, Dr. Khatib gave another option of breast preservation in oncoplastic surgery after examining the findings, the deliberation between the surgeries was difficult and she was a full partner in our deliberations reflecting the risks in all One of the procedures and even met with us again. I feel like I'm her only patient, was available for questions and hesitations, calmed down and gave a lot of confidence, checked what was with me and how I feel in hospital after surgery. I am very pleased with the aesthetic result which is just a bonus to me being clean. Thank you Dr. Khatib for everything!

''A month and a half ago I discovered I had breast cancer at the age of 32, I felt lost and immediately started on my journey to recovery. I came to Dr. Khatib after some recommendations and after some opinions, and the first second I sat down in front of her I knew I would choose her to go on this journey with me. A combination of service, professionalism and humanity. Explained in great detail what process I would go through and was attentive to any question. After the meeting, within a few days we had already scheduled an operation, and at the same time we corresponded and also helped me with all the bureaucracy in front of the insurance company. Today I am a few days later, feeling good and there is no joy from me that she is with me in this thing. It is a light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Khatib is a combination of a golden hand and a golden heart and everyone who can help her will win.

''I went to Dr. Marian's Utilization Brigade to remove a lump in the breast and restore parts of plastic tonco. Dr. Marian's service is exemplary. A rare combination of humanity and professionalism at the highest level. Her judgment is matter-of-fact and accurate. Shares the patient in details and processes. Available and facilitates the psychological and physical process. Her work results are amazing. I did not need his painkillers and getting back to routine was quick. Combines two complex areas and completely controls both. Is a true and respectable example of the medical profession. Highly recommend!!!

''Dr. Khatib saved my life. Just like that! I had oncoplastic surgery and reconstruction on both my breasts just 22 hours ago. And I'm already feeling great, without bandages, with really reasonable pain and without painkillers. I met the doctor with the golden hand, extremely professional, humane and charming in every sense of the word, definitely on an international level less than 3 weeks ago and immediately felt I was her only and most special patient and so I am sure she treats us all. A talented and empathetic doctor in every sense of the word. Dr. Khatib calmed me down a lot and I immediately knew I was in the best hands there was. And so I feel until now with my continued treatment. Dr. Khatib treated and continues to treat me with maximum speed and support (including all the tests and the not-so-simple bureaucracy). The most personal and cordial attitude wholeheartedly. And I really feel lucky to have my doctor's division broadcast and believe that with its help I will defeat cancer to the end and with all my might. Dr. Khatib you are God sent. You save and change lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your are one of the best doctors global wide and I amso proud and grateful to be your patient.

''I came to Dr. Khatib entirely by chance. But according to Jewish tradition, "case" means "it happened from God." The most striking thing about Dr. Khatib is its humanity and gentleness. While many doctors look at the computer while they ask you questions, Dr. Khatib looks at you directly, listens and only after receiving the answer does she turn to the computer. At the first meeting I came to Dr. Khatib with an ultrasound examination due to an enlarged gland. She referred me for the required tests and then accompanied me personally and gave guidance when receiving the news. She gave us her mobile and we consulted her a lot about continuing the process. After the chemotherapy and prior to the surgery we met and she patiently provided all the required information. Even while preparing for the surgery itself I remember we laughed a lot and she helped me relieve the tension. I knew I was in the hands of someone who would do the best for me. Dr. Khatib has such a special place in my heart. I feel joy and pride in all her success and progress. Amazing woman, professional doctor. I'm sure we'll still hear a whole lot of good things about her. Wishing her great success.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
