Kendilerine Nisan 2025'te annemi götürdüm ancak hiç memnun kalmadım. Resmen odadan çık diye insanın gözüne bakıyor. İki kelime zor konuşup gönderiyor. İlgili bir doktor olduğunu düşünmüyorum.

Canım doktorum,
İyi ki yollarımız sizinle kesişmiş… Eğer bu kadar güçlü bir enerjiniz, samimiyetiniz ve içtenliğiniz olmasaydı, belki bu süreci bu kadar güçlü atlatamazdım.
Siz sadece bir doktor değil, aynı zamanda kalbime dokunan bir şifa kaynağı oldunuz. Varlığınız, güven veren sözleriniz ve yanımda oluşunuz bana tarifsiz bir güç verdi.
Sizin gibi bir insanı tanımak, bu zorlu yolda en büyük şanslarımdan biri. Rabbim sizi korusun, ilminizi artırsın, her daim iyilikle karşılaştırsın.
İyi ki varsınız…
Kelimelerin anlamsız kalacağı bir doktor değil insan düşünün. Kim tekrar doktoru ile görüşmek için hasta olmak ister. Hocamızın samimiyeti ve güzel kalbi resmen dışa vurmuş. Herşey için teşekkürler ...

Dr. Mehmet Abdussamet Bozkurt did my breast tumor removal surgery successfully. I had a few postoperative complications, which were appropriately managed. My stay in the hospital was comfortable as Dr. Bozkurt took good care.
