Eşimin kalp rahatsızlığı nedeniyle uzun süredir sıkıntı yaşıyorduk. Kalp çarpıntısı şikayetiyle birçok kez ablasyon işlemi geçirmesine rağmen bir türlü düzelme olmamıştı. Sonunda Dursun Aras hocamızla tanıştık ve ameliyat olmaya karar verdik. Hocamızın engin bilgisi, tecrübesi ve hastalarına yaklaşımı bizi çok etkiledi. Ameliyat sürecinde her zaman yanımızda hissettik ve tüm sorularımıza sabırla cevap verdi. Ameliyat çok başarılı geçti ve eşim şu an çok daha iyi durumda. İnşallah daha da iyi olacak. Dursun Aras hocamızı herkese tavsiye ederim.
Dursun hoca, Eylül ayı ortasında mitral kapakçıklarımın değişimi sonrasında gerekli olan kalp pilini ekibi çok başarılı bir şekilde yerleştirmiştir. Sonrasında kapakçıkların erdiği hasar nedeniyle oluşan ritm bozukluğu ve nabız değerlerimin şu anda eskisinden farkı yoktur. Buna ilave olarak, ameliyatım sonrasında periyodik olarak kardiyoloji kontrolümü de Dursun Hoca yapmakta ve tedavimi yönetmektedir. Kendimi çok iyi, daha sağlıklı ve güvende hissediyorum. Kendisine bu vesile ile çok teşekkür ediyorum.
Babamın ritim bozukluğu için dursun hocayı tercih etmiştik elinden gelenin en iyisini yapıyor. Hastalarına karşı çok ilgili yaptığı ablasyon operasyonu da çok iyi geçti. Bir daha bir sorunumuz olursa başvuracağım tek doktor kendisi

Ablasyon tedavisi olacaklar gözü kapalı kesinlikle Dursun hocamı öneririm hem ilgili hem bilgili hem tecrübeli Allah razı olsun hocamdan. Ayrıca kardiyolog Emir beye de desteklerinden ötürü teşekkür ederim.
Adım Veysel Karani.. Bu hastanede Dursun Aras gibi bir kardiyoloji doktoru var. Hasta olarak insanın başına gelebilecek en güzel hediye bu Hoca...İnsan olarak ise böyle bir hekimin hastasıysanız Allah'ın izniyle hastalıktan yana korkunuz olmaz. Kimi hekimler epikrize değil hastanın yüreğine atar imzasını.. Benimde kalbime attı imzasını sağolsun..Bide pili çıkartıcam Veysel diye haber etse tamamdır.. Dursun hocayı tanırsanız ödeyemeyeceğiniz bir minnet borcunuz olur ona göre :))
