''My wife was diagnosed with melanoma, and based on recommendations we went to Dr. Meni Bracha for a second opinion. Instead of the appointment we had through our health fund, which was only a month after the biopsy results, Dr. Meni saw us much earlier and operated on my wife even on the eve of a holiday. She underwent a wide excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy performed by him at Hadassah. The surgery went well, we were discharged the same day, and the recovery also went well. Dr. Meni specializes in melanoma, and it shows. He went over all the data with me and was very knowledgeable about every detail. Beyond his professionalism, what stood out most was his personal attention. He was always available for any question and made sure we never lacked information. Even after the surgery, he continued to accompany us, answered every question, and followed up with us on the results. A very professional doctor, humane, and one who truly cares about his patients. Highly recommended!

''An amazing personality, an outstanding doctor, knowledgeable, kind, empathetic and sensitive. I feel that I was blessed with an angel who restored me to good health, and no one is happier than me. I am very glad that we found our way to Dr. Bracha, even though we were referred to a hospital near our home. When it comes to health - a forty-minute drive to Jerusalem is worth it, followed by a whole lifetime of happiness and health. Thank you.

''Dr. Mani Barachah is a doctor blessed with great skill. Long before the surgery, he showed immense knowledge of the field of melanoma and a deep understanding of its various aspects. He operated on me for melanoma in the eyebrow area, and managed to avoid using a skin graft by using a tissue flap. He also performed a sentinel lymph node excision from two sites in the neck. I was discharged home on the very day of the surgery; I did not feel like I had undergone surgery at all, and the recovery was excellent. The cosmetic result was nothing short of outstanding, exceeding all my expectations. To my joy, I am now healthy after the lymph nodes were found clear of tumor. Thank you very much, Dr. Barachah.

''After the difficult diagnosis of melanoma, we began an extensive process of inquiry to find the best treatment for our father. The "comfortable" option would have been to be treated at a hospital close to us (Ichilov, Sheba), but we understood that there was no true oncological melanoma surgeon there who manages and performs the entire process from A to Z. We did not want him to be operated on by residents, and the problem with that is clear. So eventually we received a recommendation to go to Dr. Meni Bracha from Hadassah Ein Kerem, and to our joy, the first meeting took place at his clinic in Ramat Gan. We are forever grateful to the Creator for that. We were amazed to discover a human doctor, extremely intelligent, who understands the secrets of melanoma in depth, with incredible efficiency and planning down to the smallest detail of every single detail. The entire surgery was performed by Dr. Bracha - the excision of the melanoma, the reconstruction (to our joy, Dr. Bracha chose the harder path and performed reconstruction with a tissue flap rather than a skin graft, which worked amazingly with an excellent cosmetic result and, most importantly, an easy and smooth recovery process), and sentinel lymph node sampling, which was taken both in the neck and in the armpit. There is a deep sense of peace in knowing that someone is responsible for everything, performing it all with his own wonderful hands, and is accountable for the high quality of the care we received. After the surgery, Dr. Bracha sat with us at length and explained guideline after guideline for continued care, because he did not want to rely on a generic discharge letter and it was important to him to make sure we understood all the details. Father was released home that very same day, a few hours after the surgery, and felt excellent! We could not believe that such a doctor existed, such a personality, who leads the field of oncological surgery in Israel with a firm hand at a relatively young age. After this amazing and sweet process, we happened to meet several other people who had been operated on by Dr. Bracha and were full of praise just like us. In a small country like ours, there is no justification for undergoing such a medical process close to home and settling for lesser medicine when we have the privilege of being treated by a truly world-class figure in the field of melanoma. We are forever grateful, and this is truly the very least we can do to thank Dr. Bracha for the amazing thing he did for us. We have no doubt that he is the leading and most senior melanoma surgeon in Israel, and we are happy that we placed our fate in his hands.

''With God's help 8.10.2026 Letter of thanks to Dr. Bracha Mani Nissim I would like to thank Dr. Bracha Mani Nissim for his humanity, for his professionalism, a doctor who instills confidence and explains things clearly. Already after the first meeting I understood that I was before a rare doctor with endless patience. For everything we asked, we received a clear and professional answer, a very thorough doctor. Less than two years ago I underwent surgery at a hospital in the central region, I had an excision of melanoma on the left side of my back, and a biopsy of the sentinel lymph node. But unfortunately, in a PET-CT scan three months ago, the result was, to my surprise, that the melanoma had returned very close to the site of the previous surgery. The doctors there determined that I needed complex surgery, including removal of all the lymph nodes on the left side, as well as a wide excision of the melanoma in two locations. In the meantime, I received two biological treatments, which had a good effect, and in the second PET-CT scan, the result was that the melanoma had disappeared completely. I was very happy about the result, but the joy was premature, because in the subsequent meeting with the doctors it turned out that despite the good result, they determined that I had to undergo a very complex surgery, including removal of all the lymph nodes on the left side, despite the severe side effects involved, as well as a wide excision of the melanoma in two locations. I came, on recommendation, to Dr. Bracha Mani Nissim at Hadassah, because we had doubts about the proposed treatment, and because I did not have satisfactory answers to our questions. A. If the second PET-CT determines that the melanoma has disappeared completely, why is a large and complex surgery needed, involving removal of all the lymph nodes - is there no other way? B. Why did the melanoma return in the same place? C. Were the correct lymph nodes imaged? Dr. Bracha Mani Nissim re-examined, thoroughly, both PET-CT scans. He determined that an additional imaging should be done the day before the surgery on the shoulder and under the armpit, and what impressed us especially was that my case was also discussed by the melanoma team in the department at Hadassah, and throughout the entire period before the surgery there was direct phone contact between us and the doctor, he updated us at every stage. In addition, the day before the surgery the doctor himself examined all six scans, and he was not satisfied with that, and on the day of the surgery he checked the suspicious areas again and again using manual ultrasound. The surgery itself went well, and Dr. Mani Bracha himself reported to us about the surgery at its conclusion, and we also received instructions from him on what to do after the surgery. The recovery of the surgical sites was good and fast. In conclusion, at every stage I felt confident that I was in good hands, today I feel that I was very lucky that I came to him. Dr. Mani Bracha Nissim is a very thorough doctor, humane and a professional of the highest degree, and I highly recommend him to anyone who has received a diagnosis of melanoma. With great respect - Rachel

''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!
