''I had 2 cataract surgeries with Prof. Stamer, golden hands, attentiveness, service, detailed explanation, a comfortable and pleasant feeling
He brought not only professional knowledge but also soul
I feel obligated to mention the secretary Malka Aharonov, who went out of her way to help me with appointments, availability, and they were simply amazing, I have no words to thank them
Hadassah has won!!

''I received excellent service from Dr. Khatib from the first visit I received, with the aim of having laser cataract surgery in both eyes. I received a full explanation prior to the tests and surgeries, and Dr. Khatib answered the questions with patience and punctuality and I felt ready and calm for the surgeries. During the first surgery I was received pleasantly and professionally by being. My bag was ready with all the prints. Before the operation, Dr. Khatib explained to me what was ahead of me and also during the operation I was updated throughout the operation, which gave me confidence that I was in good and happy hands. I came to Dr. Khatib through my ophthalmologist at Clalit and I am happy with my choice of him, as a surgeon.
