Boğazımda yutkunma güçlüğü çektiğim dönem benim için inanılmaz zordu. Yaklaşık 8ay kadar bu işkence hali sürdü. Bu süre zarfında çeşitli doktorlara gittim. Hiçbirinin bulamadığını, Uğur Bey bularak beni sağlığıma kavuşturdu. Babacan tavırlı, hastasını dinleyen, işini düzgün yapan kaliteli bir adam. Herkese tavsiye ederim.
