Harika bir hekim. Profesörüm diye geçinen amatörlere bin basar. Hem ilgisi bilgisi hem detaya inmesi hem de insani yanı ve açıklayıcılığı çok başarılı. Klinik olarak aynı hastalık için 2 proftan sonra kendisine geldim ikisinden de çok daha iyi ve detaylı ilgilendi. Aynı hastanedeki aynı bölümde çalışan proftan çok daha iyidir.
Bir yıl içerisinde gitmediğim Dahiliye uzmanı, Gastroenterelog, devlet hastanesi kalmadı. Araştırmalarımızda da oklar hep kendisini gösterdi. Gittiğimde beni ilgiyle dinledi, sorular sordu.. Endoskopi önerdi ve isteğim doğrultusunda uyutmadan endoskopi işlemimi yaptı, etrafımdakilerin tüm korkutmalarına rağmen dünyanın en rahat, en sorunsuz endoskopisini olmuş olabilirim🙏🏻🌺 Sonrasında teşhisi ve yazdığı ilaçlar ile şu an öyle mutluyum ki, onca zaman ne çok vakit kaybetmişim… Benim gördüğüm, en çok pozitif elektrik aldığım bugüne kadar ki en harika doktor, harika insan. İyi ki var🙏🏻 saygı ve sevgilerimle 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺
