''I was referred to Dr. Mani Bracha by a plastic surgeon at a health maintenance organization after melanoma was discovered in me. The doctor explained to me that he is one of the only physicians in the country who specializes in all aspects of this disease. I contacted Dr. Bracha through the private medical service and he immediately scheduled surgery for me without delay. At the preliminary meeting, he explained in detail the nature of the disease, the behavior of the tumor, and the procedure I was about to undergo. His explanation, and his approach in general, put me and my family at ease. He explained to me that I needed to undergo a 'melanoma excision' surgery as well as a 'sentinel lymph node biopsy' to determine whether the lesion had spread to the lymphatic system.
I should note that Dr. Bracha was available at every stage of the treatment for any question (both by phone and WhatsApp messages).
His management and treatment were excellent, and so were their results!

''After receiving a pathology report confirming a new melanoma on my arm, I felt lost and confused, not knowing what the next step would be. I was looking for a surgeon who specializes specifically in melanoma, not just a general or plastic surgeon who performs excisions. After considerable research and inquiries, I eventually found Dr. Meni Bracha's clinic in Ramat Gan. He is an oncological surgeon at Hadassah Ein Kerem, a world-class melanoma specialist with an outstanding reputation.
Already in our first meeting, Dr. Bracha thoroughly reviewed the pathology report with me and explained the significance of the melanoma's thickness, its ulceration, and the mitoses. He explained the required wide excision and the oncological nuances involved. He also discussed with me the need, in my case, for a sentinel lymph node biopsy (he personally calculated the risk of lymph node involvement for me), the stages of the surgery which he performs entirely himself, and the expected follow-up. He explained at length the implications of each possible outcome, addressing the margins, the cosmetic appearance, functionality, and further oncological treatment. During the conversation, I got the impression that he is not only a warm and empathetic individual but, above all, a true professional who is deeply knowledgeable about the biology of this disease and attentive to every possible detail. This made me feel confident that I was in remarkable hands.
Subsequently, I underwent surgery performed by Dr. Bracha at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where he carried out a wide excision of the melanoma and a sentinel lymph node biopsy. It was clear to me that the entire surgery was performed by him, not by a resident, and without the assistance of physicians from other disciplines. Personally, that fact made all the difference to me. The surgery went smoothly, the compassionate care throughout the day from the entire team, led by Dr. Bracha, was remarkable, and I was discharged home that same day.
Fortunately, the excision margins were clear, the melanoma had not reached the sentinel lymph node, and I am a healthy person today. My recovery from the surgery was excellent, with no complications and no setbacks, and the cosmetic result was simply outstanding, with a delicate and very beautiful scar that is barely visible. Dr. Bracha was available on his personal phone throughout the entire process, looked after my well-being, and is a true example of patient care and empathy. Beyond his professionalism and remarkable knowledge, Dr. Bracha gave me the sense that there was someone looking at the complete oncological and surgical picture with deep understanding, truly accompanying me, and not merely a 'technician' focused on the technical aspects of things.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has received a new melanoma diagnosis and is looking for a professional, knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, available, and caring oncological surgeon and melanoma specialist.

''There are excellent doctors, and there are doctors whose profession is a calling. Such is Dr. Mani Bracha, a rare combination of both.
From the very first moment, I felt I was in the best hands — uncompromising professionalism, vast knowledge, thoroughness, calm and confidence, alongside exceptional human sensitivity. In a period when every word and every glance carries meaning, Dr. Bracha knew how to listen, to explain with endless patience, to answer every question, and to be truly available.
Beyond being a professional, he is first and foremost a person. A person who looks at the patient at eye level, who provides a sense of security, hope, and genuine care. It is rare to meet a doctor who manages to combine professional excellence with such a great heart.
A tremendous thank you, Dr. Mani Bracha, for the guidance, dedication, sensitivity, and wonderful care. I have no doubt that anyone fortunate enough to be your patient will immediately understand that they are dealing with an extraordinary doctor and a rare individual.
I recommend you wholeheartedly, with immense appreciation and gratitude — you are certainly not to be taken for granted.

''We were referred to Dr. Meni Beracha by a surgeon who removed a mole without mentioning the name of another doctor.
On the same day we spoke with him and after brief explanations and a description of the case from our side, Dr. Beracha scheduled an appointment for us for the following week.
When we arrived at the clinic and after an examination and review of the medical file, he scheduled surgery for the week after.
He detailed the entire process and answered every question we had.
Also, that week he was attentive and most importantly very reassuring.
He was available for any question and always answered.
On the day of surgery he gave an explanation before and after the surgery and always in a pleasant and reassuring manner, which is important at eye level.
In the days after the surgery he was always available for our questions and with answers about phenomena that occurred.
He knew how to reassure us in everything until receiving the final results and even after we received them.
And this is without mentioning the surgery itself which was performed in the most professional manner, as after two months you can barely see a scar.
To sum up, we have no words to say thank you for all the listening and patience.

''Dr. Brakha was available from the first phone call. He immediately arranged a visit to his office and within two days an examination with Prof. Michal Lotem. During the visit, he provided us with detailed information about the lesion, treatment options, and chances of recovery. All of this with great patience and pleasantness.

''There are no words to describe the professionalism and humanity I received from Dr. Meni Beracha. In fact, thanks to him I was saved from an unnecessary surgery, thanks to Meni's referral to professional and advanced tests that unfortunately do not exist in the periphery. Additionally, Meni explained the medical situation in the meeting with patience and made the knowledge accessible in the best way possible. In short, highly recommended.

''Meeting Dr. Mani Bracha was an exceptional experience of impressive professionalism, combined with high availability, deep commitment to patients, and humane and sensitive treatment. It is difficult to overstate the importance of all these qualities during the complex period of discovering a malignant disease, and I am very grateful that Dr. Bracha was there to accompany me before the surgery, during it, and also in the stage of making therapeutic decisions afterward.
Dr. Bracha was willing to provide complex explanations that I requested about treatment alternatives, disagreements among specialists, and the relevant professional literature. Everything was done at eye level, with precise and comprehensive explanations, and when this comes from a physician who has comprehensive training and stands at the forefront of surgical-oncological practice, I felt that I was truly in good hands. He also spared no effort to obtain reviews or additional tests that he believed were necessary for decision-making.
The entire conduct instills calm, confidence, a sense that there is someone to rely on, and it is rare and heartwarming. Thank you very much!
