Başka bir doktorun tavsiyesi üzerine gitmiştim kendisine, aylarca hastanelere gitmeme rağmen anlaşılamayan rahatsızlığımı bulmuştur Gülden Hanım, tedavimi en güzel şekilde kendisi bizzat takip etti. 1 seneden fazla ilaç tedavisi uyguladı 1 ay hastanede yattım çocuk yaşta ona rastlamam büyük şanstır yoksa kalbim çok kötü durumdaydı, şimdi çevremde çocuğunda herhangi bir kalp şikayeti bir ebeveyn görsem direk Gülden Hanımı öneririm işini hakkıyla ve en iyi şekilde yapan nadir doktorlardan. Benim rahatsızlığımın çocuğumda genetik olarak çıkma ihtimali var, eğer ki olursa hamileliğimden doğumuma kadar güvenip gidebileceğim bebeğimi emanet edebileceğim tek kalp doktoru. Bu mesleği bırakmayın Gülden Hanım sektörün size çok ihtiyacı var.
