Mesleğinde çok bilgili ve tecrübeli,güleryüzü ile insana enerji veren kıymetli bir doktorumuz,bilim adamımız.Sevgiyle,saygıyla,herşeyi hak eden hocamıza sonsuz teşekkürler.

2009 yılı tam evlilik aşamasında tesadüfen tespit edilen yumurtalığımdaki 18.5 cm'lik kist ameliyatımı Prof. Dr. Levhi Bey tarafından yapıldı. Kendisi .pozitif, güler yüzlü bir hekim olup ameliyatımı evliliğim öncesinde çok rahatlıkla atlamama yardımcı olmuştur. Üstelik kendisi eşimle bize sürpriz yapıp nikahımıza gelmiştir. Kendisine mesleğinde ve özel hayatında başarılar dilerim.
Levhi hoca iyi ve başarılı bir hekim olmakla beraber güleryüzü kibarlığı ve insana pozitif yaklaşımı ile hastayı motive ediyor. Başarılı bir ameliyatın ardından kontrollerimde de bıkıp usanmadan bana yardımcı olduğu için kendisine çok teşekkür ediyorum.
