2 yıldır boyun fıtığı omurgamı mahvetmişti 2024’ün son günü korkunç bir acıyla kendisine başvurmuştum. Hemen beni ameliyata alıp 2025’e yeni bir boyunla girmemi sağlamıştı. En ufak sorunumda Gökalp Bey’e sorularımı sorabildim, cevaplar aldım. İnanılmaz ilgili, samimi bir doktor. Kendisine ne kadar teşekkür etsem azdır. İyi ki varsınız Gökalp Bey🙏🏻 Sizin gibi değerli hekimlerin artarak çoğalmasını diliyorum!💙

For the treatment of my brain tumor, Dr. Silav recommended craniotomy. After the surgery, the doctor noticed head scarring. I was admitted to the ICU for proper monitoring and a few days later he sent me home. He made sure that the surgery does not cause any serious complications.
