Romatoloji bölümü için ziyaret ettik , Dr. Şenol Kobak'ı tercih ettik , aylardır hiçbir hekiminin koyamadığı teşhisi kendisi yaptığı testler ve tahliller sonucu hastalığımı bulup teşhisi koydu. Çok nazik ve ilgili bir hekim kendileri. Hastane personelleri de gayet ilgili ve hastane çok hijyenik bir ortama sahip. Ayriyeten İstinye Üniversitesi öğrencilerine de muayenede , tahliller de indirim sağlanıyor.
