My daughter was diagnosed with cancer at the age of just three years. I was so concerned about her. A relative told me about Dr. Atila and I visited him for my daughter. He is very friendly and provided a proper follow-up for her. He first diagnosed the disease properly then started the treatment. It took a long time but now my daughter is healthy. He is brilliant in his field of expertise and I would recommend him.
