Babam, omurunda çıkan kitle yüzünden, yürümekte zorlanırken çok değerli hocamız şifalı elleriyle babamı tekrardan %100 sağlığına kavuşturdu. Kayınpederimi, daha önce farklı hekimlerce yapılan başarısız yapılan bel fıtığı ameliyatını, şifalı elleriyle tekrar yaparak %100 sağlığına kavuşturdu. Her sorumuzu sıkılmadan sevgi ve hoşgörüyle cevapladı.Başka hekimlerin bizleri korkuttuğu bu zorlu operasyonları tecrübesi, yeteneği ve ailesi gibi olan harika ekibiyle tereyağından kıl çeker gibi tamamladılar. Hekimliğinizin yanında bizi aile büyüğü gibi yönlendiren canım hocam Allah sizden de ekibinizden de razı olsun. Serdar Bey, Yüksel Hanım ve ekibinizdeki tüm çalışma arkadaşlarınıza da bu vesile ile tekrardan teşekkür ederim iyi ki varsınız sevgiler ve selamlar.
