Şubat ayında meme küçültme operasyonu ve 5 yaşında kızımın kepçe kulak operasyonu için Burak beyi yapılan yorumlar vasıtasıyla buldum. Hasta doktor ilişkisi hastanın beklentisine göre değişebilen konudur, ben memnunum, hastasına sahip çıkan doktor olduğunu da ayrıca gördüm. İşine odaklanmış, kendini geliştiren, hasta takibi kuvvetli bir doktor. Sekreteri Ebru hanım ve hemşiresi Hatice hanımın ilgisi süreci konforlu geçirmemizi sağladı. Sürecin böyle güzel geçmesi estetik konusunda ayrı bir cesaretlendiriyor. İlerleyen zamanlarda tekrar görüşebiliriz:)
