Annem 15 yıllık parkinson hastası ve 4 yıllık beyin pili geçmişimiz var. Kendi doktorumuz yurt dışına çıkınca çok üzüldük. Doktor arayışına girdik. Nesrin Hanım’ı bulduk. Çok şükür gerçekten bizim sabırlı,anlayışlı ,çözüm üreten doktorlara ihtiyacımız var. Mesleğini seviyor ve yaklaşımı harika. Şifamızı bulduk. Uğraşıyor ve hasta duygu düşüncelerini dinleyerek hareket ediyor. Pil ayarları ve hap dozları konusunda uzman. Gözünüz kapalı güvenebilirsiniz. Biz bu hastalıkta 15 yılı devirdik. Bizim gibi anne babasına yardım arayan şifa arayan düşünmeden Nesrin Hanım’a gelsin. Aydın ilinden İstanbul’a şifa bulmaya geliyoruz.
İyi niyetini suistimal etmemek için gayret ettiğim ve edeceğim doktor. Çok naif çok kibar çok anlayışlı ve yardım sever. Hastasını sıkı takip eden, aynı zamanda bilgisine güvendiğim bir hoca. Babamın tedavisi ile ilgileniyor. Güler yüzü ilgi ve alakası için teşekkür ediyorum.

He consulted this doctor for treatment, and got successful outcomes after treatment. On recommendation of my elder brother, I consulted Dr. Nesrin Halveci Yilmaz, she planned chemotherapy for my treatment. After following her intervention, my condition is better.
Joseph, Austria, 61 years old I was detected with Parkinson’s disease in January, 2019. I had started living in deep sorrow because I was somehow aware with prognosis of disease and its health-related complications. I discussed my situation with one of my friends and he suggest me to seek a thorough treatment from Dr. Nesrin Helvaci Yilmaz, worldwide recognized and certified neurologist. I visited her and she planned to treat me by using minimally invasive technique of deep brain stimulation for treatment of PD. After DBS, my condition is much improved.
