About the clinic
Thyroidectomy at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, provides surgical treatment for thyroid cancer and benign gland enlargement. As the largest private hospital network in the country, the facility maintains JCI accreditation for international safety standards. Patients receive care from a network of over 1,500 doctors specializing in various surgical disciplines.
Surgical Indications and Methods
Thyroid surgery at this center helps patients with several gland conditions. Surgeons perform the procedure to remove benign growths that cause swallowing or breathing difficulties. The team also treats thyroid cancer through partial or total removal of the gland. This hospital was the first in Israel to earn JCI accreditation, which confirms high safety protocols for every operation.
Post-Surgical Cancer Care
Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer often need more than just surgery. Assuta Medical Center provides radioactive iodine therapy to help remove any remaining cancer cells. Having this therapy in the same medical system makes the transition from surgery to recovery much smoother. This approach addresses the cancer fully without requiring the patient to travel to different facilities.
Advanced Medical Environment
The facility operates as a leading private hospital in Israel. It uses modern equipment for gland diagnostics and surgical monitoring. The medical team focuses on minimizing risks during the procedure, such as protecting the vocal cord nerves. Following surgery, the hospital provides specialized rooms for recovery and iodine treatment if necessary.

Assuta has the worst web site.
You try to reschedule, instead they force you to repeat the whole process from the beginning. The lack of basic competence is unbelievable

Supposed to be the best private hospital in Israel... I doubt it.
My recommendation - even if the doctors are great, don't go there for Mei Shafir. You will get an awful treatment of your case.
Let's start by the fact that they canceled the genetic consultant a week before the mei Shafir check.. and asked me to find a docteur (genetics specialist) that could see me in the next 3 days, so they could perform the check on time..
No help on their side to help me finding of course.
So now imagine yourself calling every hospital of Israel asking for a place in the next 3 days to see a specialist... and how stressed you are.
Found a place in Nahariya by chance. The specialist didn't even understand why I was being canceled from the beginning at asuta (what was found in my genetics tests was insignificant) .
Even the mei Shafir doctor didn't understand why the genetics consultant of asuta was ever canceled to me!!
Anyway check went well and today I am receiving the results... what a shame! 2 pages of results scanned, the second page cannot even be read. The first page is not clear.
That's such a shame and so embarrassing.
Anyway from my experience and people that went with asuta will confirm, your case with be handled by many people, no one has the same work process, no one will answer you clearly and on a same way.
Choosing asuta is choosing to add more stress to your life.

עברתי ניתוח להרמת עפעפעיים אצל ד"ר רם קיילוס. זכיתי לרופא בחסד עליון, מקצועי, תומך ואנושי. מאוד מרוצה מהתוצאות! רציתי להודות לד"ר קיילוס וכל הצוות המדהים שליוו אותי בתהליך מתחילתו ועד סופו ונתנו לי להרגיש כבת משפחה לכל דבר ועיניין. יישר כח! רחל שרביט
