Tedirgin bir şekilde gittiğim muayenehanede hocamın doyurucu ve rahatlatıcı konuşması beni rahatlattı.Tedavi sürecine huzurlu bir şekilde başladım ve devam ediyorum.Hocama çok teşekkürler.İyiki böyle başarılı doktorlarımız var.Gökhan hocamı herkese tavsiye ediyorum.
Doktorum, çok ilgili ve nazik yaklaştı. Tüm tetkiklerimi inceledikten sonra konuyu çok açıklayıcı ve anlaya bileceğim şekilde anlattı. Tedavi sürecimde yapmam gerekenleri iletti. Kafamda hiç soru işareti kalmadı. Bilgisi ve mesleğine olan bağlılığı bana güven verdi. Herşey için teşekkür ederim.
Ameliyat olduğum halde tekrarlayan pnomotoraks ameliyatımı bu kez Gökhan hoca yaptı. O kadar profesyonel ve hastayı rahatlatıyor ki. Ameliyat sonrasında da ne zaman soru sorsam hemen yanıtladı hemen yardımcı oldu. İstanbul'da olup akciğer problemi olanlara tavsiye ediyorum. Ben Konya'dan gittim Gökh an hoca için.
I was feeling dizziness, breathlessness, and irregular breathing. I was new in Istanbul and away from my family and country. I was anxious and consulted Dr. Gokhan Haciibrahimoglu. He was supportive and friendly and at the same time, he handled the case professionally and suggested catheter ablation to treat my arrhythmia.
I got into an accident a few months ago and got severely injured and admitted to Medical Park Bahcelievler Hospital. There was an accumulation of blood in my lungs because of trauma and Dr. Gokhan Haciibrahimoglu was my consultant. He treated this condition with a thoracostomy and some medications. I stayed there in the hospital for 25 days and I am satisfied with the hospital and the doctors.
türkiyemizde bu kadar karmaşanın içinde her yönüyle pırıl pırıl yetişmiş gurur duyduğum ve etrafıma övgüyle bahsettiğim örnek bir insan iyi bir cerrah iyiki varsınız hocam
