Doctor Adnan Sayar is the thoracic surgeon that treated my mother who was in a critical condition when she arrived by ambulance at their hospital Liv Hospital Vadi Istanbul. I consulted with him while my mum was in a pulmonology impatient clinic here in Skopje, where he was very pragmatic and straight to the point from the very first online meeting I had with him. After e thorough examination of all the evidences and patiently listening to all patient history he managed to successfully treat the infection and promptly take life-saving action to treat her condition successfully and he was always patient to explain all the procedures and complications. I highly recommend him as a highly skilled professional in his field and also his post-procedure and post hospital discharge care and dedication to his patients is an additional reason why I think he is truly best at what he does. I highly recommend him if you are dealing with any intervention that are subject of his area of expertise.
