Fazilet Hanım konusunda uzman harika bir doktordur. Kendisinin takibine girmemizi cocuk doktorumuz onermisti ve 5 yasindan beri 5 senedir kendisinin takibindeyiz. Hastanin oykusunu dikkatlice dinler, sonra detayi ile dogumundan itibaren gecirdigi hastaliklar kullandigi ilaclarla ilgili notlar alir. Sonra hastasini detayi ile muayene eder ve aileye tedavi protokolunu A4 e yazip, verir. Boylece hem ne yapmaniz gerektigini detaylica karistirmadan ogrenirsiniz, hem de hastaligin seyri boyunca degisen tedavi protokolunu de rahatca takip edebilirsiniz. Zaman icinde siz de ogrenirsiniz. Cep telinden rahatca ulasip soru sorabilirsiniz. Bunlar cocuk doktoru seciminde olmazsa olmaz. Ayrica bilgi birikimine soyleyecek tek kelime yok. Arada hastanelere test vs icin gittigimizde fark ettigim sey, kendisinin hoca olarak tum hastanelerde tanindigidir.
İyi ki varsiniz sevgili doktorumuz.

Fazilet hocam ile yıllar önce kızım daha 6 yaşında iken tanıştım. Aynı hastanede çalışıyorduk. Allerjik bir yapısı olan kızım Serap’ı bir doktor olarak etik, araştırmacı, akademisyen kimliği ile tedavi etmekten öte, her daim yanımızda oldu. Güler yüzü, dostluğu, hekimliği ile her konuda harika bir doktor.

Fazilet Hocamız ile 2.5 yıldır tanışınıyoruz. Hocamızdan önce çok sık hastane yatışlarımız oluyordu. Verdiği tedavilerle hastane yatışlarımız bitti. Artık kışları daha rahat geçiriyoruz. Acil durumlarda da kendisine ulaşabiliyoruz. Paylaşımları ve uyguladığı tedaviler için teşekkür ederim.

Fazilet Hanım ile yaklaşık 2 yıl önce tanıştık. Fazilet Hanım ile tanışmadan önce 7 yaşındaki kızım sık sık bronşit oluyordu. Hocamızın uyguladığı koruyucu tedaviler ile Alya’nın hastalıkları ciddi anlamda azaldı. Hocamınızın takibi oldukça sıkı, güleryüzlü, kendisi ile çok rahat iletişim kurabiliyoruz ; hastalık sırasında evde neler yapmamız gerektiğini çok açıklayıcı bir şekilde anlatıyor.
