Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) Reviews – 4 Verified Patient Experiences in Israel

How experienced and professional are the doctors?

Patients consistently describe Turkish oncologists as highly professional with excellent clinical expertise. One patient called their doctor a 'true professional,' while another praised the 'very high' level of professionalism at facilities like Medipol. Doctors like Dr. Pelin Basim receive specific recognition for their expertise and supportive approach throughout treatment. Some patients experienced translation challenges during consultations, though this didn't affect the quality of medical care. The overall impression is of skilled oncologists who provide thorough consultations and maintain professional standards that give international patients confidence in their treatment.

When they learned what was needed in the clinic, they didn’t even know where to run and whom to contact. Coordinators helped to select a clinic. They gave us a doctor. Everything went great, the doctor is a true professional. Separately, I want to note the attitude to patients. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic and there was already a translator waiting. Literally "by the hand" we were taken to the doctors, everyone translated. Then they provided a taxi to the hotel. During the operation, the ward was provided for two people - for the patient and the attendant; both of them were included in the cost of the operation. After surgery, the doctor held a consultation, making sure that you can fly back. And only then answered questions remotely that arose. Clinic definitely recommend

Doctors seemed professional. Low quality translation from Turkish to Russian and vice versa. For some reason, after PET KT (perhaps a coincidence), upon returning home, it was sharply worse. We had to urgently operate, although Turkish oncologists did not see the need for an operation, but offered to wait a month.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Most patients report comprehensive translation support throughout their treatment journey. Translators are typically provided from airport pickup through consultations, with one patient noting they were taken 'by the hand' to doctors with everything translated. Some experienced translation quality issues that caused confusion about diagnoses, though these were eventually clarified. Despite occasional communication gaps, patients consistently praise the professional medical care and support they received. The clinics appear well-prepared for international patients, with dedicated translation staff ensuring treatment proceeds smoothly.

The Liv Hospital Clinic confused my diagnosis. Within two hours, I thought I had cancer. I immediately wrote to them, the answer came in two and a half hours, as they had no time to double-check. During all this time, my family and I went crazy with horror. Now they wrote to me that the translators were wrong. But pituitary adenoma is spelled the same in all languages. A malignant formation of the parotid gland is a completely different diagnosis.
