Annemin bel fıtığı ameliyatı için doç. Dr. Hakan Özalp ve ekibini tercih ettiğimiz bir hastane oldu. Doktorunuzun bilgi,deneyim, tecrübe ve hastasına yaklaşımı o kadar iyiydi ki hastanede kaldığımız süre boyunca iyiki dedik. Hastaneye gelecek olursak on numara tam teşekküllü bir hastane çalışanlarının hepsini özenle seçtiği çok belli hepsi inanılmaz ilgili, nazik, güler yüzlü işlerinde profesyonel insanlar. Buradan hepsine ayrı ayrı teşekkür ederim.
Annemin çok ilerleyen bacağında his kaybına sebep olan iki tane bel fıtığı için Hakan beye başvurduk. Mikrocerrahi yöntemi ile 1 saatlik bir ameliyat sonucunda annem çok daha iyi oldu çok şükür. Doktor bey çok ilgili, başarılı, düşünceli ve halden anlayan bir doktordu. Tanıdığımıza ve güvendiğimize çok memnun olduk. İşini en güzel şekilde yapan nev-i şahsına münhasır bir insandı. Herkese şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Başarılarının devamını dilerim. Bütün hasta insanlara dokturumuzu önererek acil şifalar diliyorum. Herkese geçmiş olsun.
