2005 haziran ayı ortasında geçirdiğim ağır trafik kazası sonrasında kaldırıldığım hastane doktorlarındandı. Tüm vucudumun çeşitli noktalarında meydana gelen kırıkları itina ile tedavi etmiştir.4 ameliyatımda da bulundu.3 ay süren yatak tedavisi süresince her an kendisini yanımda hissettirdi.Tekrar ayağa kalakabilmememde çok değerli emeği vardır. Tedavimin devam ettiği yıllarda da desteğini esirgememiştir. Tanıdığım Dr. lar arasında tam anlamıyla mesleğine aşık Dr.lardan biridir diyebilirim. İşini çok iyi yaptığını düşünüyorum. Herhangi bir ortopedik sorunum olduğunda aradığım ilk kişi kendisidir. Etrafımda ki tüm tanıdıklarımıda şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum. Benim dışımda giden tanıdıklarım da kendsinin trdavisinden memnun kalmışlardır.Şu an için İstanbul dışında görev yaptığından, bu süre içinde ortopedik olarak bir sorunumun olmamasını diliyorum. :) Kendisinin başarılarının devamını dilerim. Teşekkürler
