3 Recent Radioiodine therapy Reviews in Israel: Check Real Patient Experience

Самвел • Consultation with an endocrinologist Armenia Feb 20, 2020

Verified review.
Many thanks to all the staff
I am very touched by the attention of the staff. The very professional gimmick of doctors, they do not exacerbate anything more, but on the contrary facilitate the morale state of the patient. Many thanks to all the staff.

Anonymous • Endocrinology Ukraine Oct 22, 2019

Verified review.
There were only positive aspects in working with Bookimed, I was absolutely happy with everything, I was just glad how everything was clear and understandable, but I did not understand some points in working with the clinic. The impression was that for the clinic the result is not so important as making money. I’m not a doctor, but I understand that you can’t take codle tests. A person ate, if a person comes with stomach problems, this is minimal. In fact, we passed tests for $ 750 but did not understand whether we have problems with sugar or not. In Ukraine, they again tested.

Orit Gutfeld

At Sourasky Medical Center radioactive iodine therapy is conducted by professional physicians in the Oncology Department. This procedure utilizes targeted medicine intake that eradicates cancerous cells.

Doctors thoroughly calculate the quantity of iodine that will be administered into a patient’s body. Depending on the condition, a patient which undergoes the procedure might be required to stay in the Medical Center up to 1 week.

Iodine used in this therapy decays quickly, affecting only the thyroid. Within a week, a person after therapy has no traces of radiation exposure.

We received a detailed consultation with Dr. Pelles Sharon and her assistant Denis. They explained everything, gave me a treatment plan, and the doctor was very attentive to details. We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us. I would also like to note the work of the coordinator, Yulia. A very sensitive, empathetic specialist, she was able to organize everything quickly. Thanks a lot!

• 1 review

At Rambam Medical Center oncologists perform radioactive iodine therapy in the Oncological Center. Physicians thoroughly measure iodine dose to provide the safest and effective treatment.

Radioactive therapy has shown impressive results in eradicating cancerous cells in the thyroid. Particular features of this gland prevent iodine from spreading through the body of a patient.

Depending on the case, various quantities of iodine may be administered. Still, even the highest doses don’t bear exposure-related side effects.
