I was experiencing seizures last year, and my health was deteriorating. My friend suggested that I consult Clinics on Call coordinators for treatment options. I was not aware of their services, so my friend helped me in contracting them. The coordinator was very helpful. I informed him about my health and asked for recommendations. Within two days, they approached me and recommended Dr. Nezih at Memorial Hospital. Not only this, but they also arranged my appointment with the surgeon. I went to the clinic and discussed the issue directly with the doctor. He suggested vagus nerve stimulation and discussed the procedure in detail. Although I was not ready for it, I agreed as the doctor encouraged me about the safety of the procedure. Everything went smoothly, and I got discharged after a few days. Now my condition is stable, and I have not experienced seizures since then.

Merhaba, ben Nezih Özkan bey'in ameliyat ettiği bir hastasının yakınıyım. Başka doktorların %25 yaşama şansı verdiği hastamıza hem cesaret, hem de güven vererek çok başarılı bir ameliyat gerçekleştirdi. Portakal büyüklüğünde olan bir tümör ve 11 saate yakın bir ameliyat.. İnanması zor geliyor fakat nezih bey inanılmazı gerçekleştirdi. Elbetteki ALLAHın izniyle herşey.Fakat kendisini hem insanı hemde mesleki yöneden tebrik etmek istiyorum. O bizim şansımızdı. ALLAH yolunu açık etsin. Sevgi ve saygılarımla
