Kendisi beyin ameliyatımı yapan kişidir . Diğer doktorlar gibi sizi korkutucu açıklamalar yapmaktan çekinir . Herşey doğanın kanunu dercesine sakin olmanızı sağlar . Ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonları en hafif şekilde atlattığımı düşünüyorum . Kişisel iletişim bilgilerini paylaşması her saat arayabilirsiniz demesi ayrı bir sevindirmiştir . Alanında en iyilerden birisidir . Gönül rahatlığıyla gidebilirsiniz .
