Professor Haim GUTMAN is a world-renowned oncological surgeon, a unique specialist in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of melanoma, basalioma, squamous cell skin cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, gastrointestinal and breast tumors. He has a total clinical experience of over 40 years.

The professor’s main area of specialization is the treatment of melanoma, the most aggressive tumor known today. According to Chaim Gutman, accurate diagnosis is one of the most important factors for a patient’s speedy recovery. He is constantly improving and developing his skills – among the first in the world, the professor introduced the implementation of signal lymph node biopsy. This procedure allows you to reliably determine the extent of surgery and remove the neoplasm with minimal invasion of healthy tissue. To reduce the risk of recurrence, the professor uses innovative methods, including neo-adjuvant therapy with the latest drugs. Advanced intraoperative isotope technology helps the surgeon to maximize the elimination of side effects and complications. A drug is injected into the patient’s bloodstream and carried to the affected organ or tissue. Over a period of time, the drug is topically irradiated to the affected area.

The professor is an advocate of organ-preserving surgery. In his medical practice, he actively uses minimally invasive laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques that minimize patient recovery time. In complicated cases, the professor resorts to partial or complete removal of the breast to treat breast cancer. Haim Gutman is also known as a brilliant plastic surgeon who masterfully performs breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Preserving the aesthetic appearance of the breast helps patients overcome psychological problems and return to a full life.

Professor Gutman graduated with honors from the M.D. Anderson School of Medicine. Sackler at Tel Aviv University, became board-certified in surgery and basic sciences, and at the end of his training period became board-certified in general and oncologic surgery. He has studied various surgical techniques and oncology research at medical centers in the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Currently, the professor is the head of the Department of Oncologic Surgery.

    "My children took me to doctors with my leg, but we have a lot of lunatics who can't tell us anything. When I found out that my sons wanted to take me to Israel for treatment, I protested, but it was expensive! But everything went quickly, replaced my joint, did not keep me in the hospital not one extra day. Prices are normal for such quality, I began to walk without pain. That's what smart doctors mean."
  • ANDREI

    "I went to doctors for several months, they could not diagnose me, as is usually the case with us. A friend advised me to come here, he had already been treated here himself. From myself I can say the attitude on 5 +! They ordered a ticket and found me a place to stay at a normal price. In the hospital they examined me, analyzed me, analyzed all kinds of devices and diagnosed me. I have already undergone a course of chemotherapy, and if I need check-ups, I will apply only here. And what would happen to me if I continued to be examined in our hospitals? It's scary to even think about

    Really enjoyed the MDI clinic. Great attitude towards patients. Applied with the problem of psoriasis (>10 years trying to cure and nothing helps). I was worried about how everything would go, as I was flying from another country, but before arrival everything was discussed with me: what to do, how much time of stay will be needed, cost, accommodation, absolutely everything and I was not so worried. Upon arrival I was met, driven to the hotel and was in constant contact with me. Also gave a local SIM card for communication and internet, drove and accompanied everywhere. Was in Tel Aviv for 3 days and during this time visited the doctor, did all the necessary tests and prescribed treatment. After leaving, I am still in touch with the curators and doctors to find out how the treatment is going, whether the medication is helping, my general health, whether I need to send more medication, etc. I am very glad that I visited MDI clinic, as it was the first time I saw the effect of treatment and that it actually helps. Words can't describe the emotions and feelings when you realize that you will finally be healthy and you can no longer be self-conscious about your skin, wear open clothes, put your hair up however you want, etc.

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your concern. From the first contact to the last minute of being in Israel, we constantly felt cared for. Meeting at the airport, organization of accommodation, support during the quarantine, useful household advice, help in buying food, accompaniment to procedures and consultations with doctors, help in buying medicines, a clear plan of action and constant information about the progress of treatment - our stay in Tel Aviv was so competently organized that the whole treatment took place in an atmosphere of confidence, calmness and relaxation. There was no stress of being in another country, even though the reason for coming to Israel was not a fun one - my father's metastatic prostate cancer. Special thanks to Catherine, for her heartfelt attitude and involvement with us. Thank you so much! Success, prosperity and grateful patients!
