Хочу поблагодарить доктора Абдуллу за лечение катаракты у моей мамы. Мне даже сложно назвать это операцией - я приехала за ней в клинику через несколько часов, мама была воодушевлена, потому что зрение уже стало намного лучше. Через пару недель показатели были вообще супер.
I have had my laser surgery from Dr. Abdullah. I love how he checks his patients with utmost dedication and sincerity. The surgery has proven really effective for me.

çok güler yüzlü, sempatik, mütevazı, iyi bir hekim ve üstelik hasta yararını gözetiyor. biraz da konuşurken takılıyor, ki ayrı bir sevecenlik katıyor kendisine.
ben bu kadar güler yüzlü bir hekime denk gelmemiştim, çok hoşuma gitti. iyi şeyleri de söylemek lazım gelir diye.
Saygıdeğer doktorumuz Prof. Abdullah Özkaya'ya gözümü kedimin tırmalaması sebebiyle gittim. Kendisi o kadar güleryüzlü, pozitif yaklaşımı olan birisi ki gözümün üst katmanında yırtık olmasına rağmen o çok büyük sıkıntılı anımızda bile bizi herşeyden önce yaklaşımıyla rahatlattı. Her sorumuza detaylı açıklamalarıyla hatta bazı durumlarda daha biz sormadan o kadar güzel bizi aydınlattı ve doğru yönlendirdi ki başka yerlerde çok büyük sıkıntılar yaşamaktan dönmüş oldum. Şu an iyileşme sürecindeyim ve hiçbir sıkıntı yaşamadım. Kendisine bir kez de burdan teşekkürlerimizi iletmek isteriz Allah razı olsun.
Prof. Dr. Abdullah Özkaya harika bir doktor. Empatik ve sıcakkanlı yaklaşımı ile etkili bir tedavi uyguladı ve şiddetli göz kuruluğu, kaşıntısı rahatsızlığımdan kurtardı beni. Sonsuz teşekkürler. Fazlasıyla memnun kaldım.
