Doktorumdan çok memnun kaldım. Allah razı olsun.Ben hemoroid ameliyatı oldum. Biraz endişeliydim geçen sefer başka bir kurumda olduğum operasyonum başarılı geçmemişti ve sıkıntısını 2 yıl bebeğimle çektim. Bu sefer olduktan hemen sonra aradaki farkı gördüm. Çok ilgili, güler yüzlü, sıcak kanlı ve işini iyi yapan bir hekimle yolumun kesişmesine şükrettim. İyi ki var böyle doktorlar.🙏
Hocam, herşeyden önce çok iyi bir insan, süper yetenekli bir cerrah doktordur. Kendisi ile çift taraflı kasık fıtığı ameliyatım sürecinde tanıştık. Kapalı yöntemle ameliyatımı gerçekleştirdi. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası gerçekten çok samimi olarak ilgilendi. Bu süreçte ve sonrasında en küçük bir rahatsızlık hissetmedim.
Kendisine ve ekibine sevgi, saygı ve hürmetlerimle teşekkürlerimi sunuyorum. Sağolun, varolun hocam.
Hocama emeklerinden dolayı teşekkür ederim dalında basarılı

Kendisi sadece bir doktor değil aynı zamanda çok değerli bir insandır. Beni , eşimi ve annemi ameliyat etti. Hepimizin ameliyatları birbirinden çok bağımsızdı fakat hepimize yapılan ameliyatlar muhteşemlik seviyesinde başarılıydı. Şahane bir cerrah Allah başımızdan eksik etmesin böyle bir hekimi. Ayrıca insanlara olan yaklaşımıyla , güler yüzüyle verdiği güvenle kısacası insanlığıyla unutmaya yüz tuttuğumuz değerlere sahip. Allah kendisinden binlerce kez razı olsun. Kendisine bir ömür başarılar dilerim.
Dalında başarılı bir doktor şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum emekleriniz için çok teşekkür ederim hocam
