Harika bir doktor. Yıllar önce yaklaşık 12 yaşlarındayken gözümde bir problem olduğunu anlamıştık. Birçok doktora gittim, hepsi göz tembelliği deyip geçiştiriyordu ama problemim daha da artıyordu. Dilek Hanımla yollarımız kesişti ve bana 4.derece sinir felci teşhisi koydu. Bunun için kendisi beni ameliyat etti. Problemin tamamen geçmeyeceğini söylemişti ama estetik olarak kesinlikle çok büyük fark yaratmıştı. Diğer gittiğim doktorlara güvenseydim ve arayışa devam etmeseydim belki şu an çok daha kötü bir halde olacaktım. Dilek Hanım'ın içten ve samimi hali hala gözümün önünde. Aradan yaklaşık 15 yıl geçti ama ben kendisini hiç unutmuyorum. Bazı doktorlar iyi ki var.
