''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.

''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.

''I was operated on by Dr. Marian Khatib, an oncoplastic surgery.
I went to Dr. Khatib and immediately realized that I was in good hands! She explained to me things that other surgeons did not explain and actually saved my breast from her amputation gave me new breasts and did a work of art!
Beyond that she professionally took out the whole block with clean margins and for that I thank her endlessly! (This is not obvious in the shape and size of the lump I had).
After the surgery I recovered very quickly, I did not suffer any pain or any other complication at all.
Thank you dear Dr. Khatib for your professionalism and humanity.
I won the highest level of oncoplastic surgery!

''As soon as I entered the room and met Der Khatib I felt and knew inside myself that I was in good hands professionally and as soon as she approached me I realized that personally as well. A rare doctor who gives a sense of security and peace when you receive advice from her, her explanations are direct, simple and complete. Thanks to Dr. Khatib, who insisted on another examination of the lump that was discovered in me, I am today after surgery and in preparation for the radiation. As soon as the results were received I knew it was my choice as a surgeon and I did not make any further inquiries. The operation was performed by Dr. Khatib in Assuta with minimal incisions in order to leave no scars on the breast itself. Dr. Khatib accompanied me throughout the process and gave me a sense that she was available to me at all times both on my personal mobile and by email and so it was. I highly recommend Der Khatib both as a doctor and as a surgeon. I am sad that I got sick but on the other hand I got to be treated by her and recover.

''Dr. Khatib is amazing !!!
I will first mention that Dr. Khatib accompanied me through a difficult period in my life when as soon as I came to her I decided she would perform the surgery, it is important for me to emphasize that Dr. Khatib was pleasant and relaxing, and most importantly human, besides explaining the whole medical procedure professionally, the result Of the operation was minimalist when it was almost indistinguishable that a surgical procedure was performed, thorough and beautiful professional work, it is worth noting that even after the operation and in the weeks after the operation, Dr. Khatib was interested in my health and made an appointment for an examination.
I highly recommend Dr. Khatib

''Dr. Khatib operated on me several months ago to perform a resection and immediate reconstruction. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Khatib explained to me all the options available to me and was even available for questions and deliberations until the moment of the decision.
This is a professional, thorough doctor and no less important - human and sensitive. After the complex surgery Dr. Khatib followed my condition closely and treated me very thoroughly herself. She was also available for immediate response if needed and gave a sense of security along the way.
This is a top notch doctor and I highly recommend her.

''Almost a month ago, I underwent breast augmentation surgery and immediate reconstruction with Dr. Marian Khatib.
I arrived with so many worries and fears and the results of the surgery are excellent !!
The talented Dr. Khatib did an amazing job, beyond imagination! Beyond her professionalism and talent she always answered pleasantly and with a lot of patience. Dr. Khatib came to visit me after the operation, was also interested in my well-being at the weekend, answered all my questions with a lot of patience and dedication, was available to me, treated me as if I were her only patient.
Dr. Khatib is one of the best surgeons there is if not surgeon number 1, a woman with super talents.
I recommend a rise in heat in all respects.
Thank you very much Dr. Khatib for everything!
You're really special.

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.
