Göz kapağımda sürekli çıkan arpacıklarım vardı. stresli her zamanımda göz kapağında arpacıklar çıkmaya devam ediyordu bu da beni olumsuz etkiliyordu İhsan hocam yaklaşımıyla verdiği tedavilerle bu duruma son verdi. Hastaya yaklaşımı çok iyi olan bir hekim. Kesinlikle öneririm
İhsan Hoca'nın sahip olduğu bilgi,donanım ve tecrübe ile hayatım gerçekten çok değişti. Zira çok uzun yıllardır kendisine periodik muayne olan biri olarak ilk keratakonus (keratoconus) teşhisini bana erkenden koyarak sağlığıma kavuşmam konusunda öncü ve yol gösterici olmuştur. Bununla beraber kendisinden başta tüm retina hastalıkları, glokom, katarakt ve lazer tedavilerinde gönül rahatlığıyla randevu alıp tedavi olabilirsiniz.
Sema Teyzemi kısa bir süre önce İhsan hocam'a katarakt tedavisi için emanet ettik. Başarılı geçen bir operasyonun ardından görüşü inanılmaz düzeldi ve şuan çok mutlu. Bu operasyonda teyzem in sahip olduğu başka bir hastalıktan ötürü yürüme engeli vardı ancak hocam katarakt operasyonu öncesi hastanın aldığı tüm ilaçları detayına analiz edip sorgulayarak teyzemin var olan operasyon heyecanının da önüne geçti ve onu çok rahatlattı. Karşısındakilere mevcut bilgisini en temel örneklere inip basitleştirerek anlatması da iletişim kanalları açısından bizleri çok mutlu etti. Güler yüzü eksik olmasın. Teşekkürler.
Hocam tedavi konusunda hem çok bilgili, hem çok iyi izah etti bana durumumu. Gönül rahatlığı ile tedavimi oldum. Ve şimdi kartal gibi görüyorum, çok bilgili ve iletişimi kuvvetli bir Dr. a denk geldiğim için çok memnunum.
