If you don’t want to be treated like a kid, don’t get an eye exam from Mustafa Temel. The worst experience ever in a private hospital.
Sirf dikkat cekmesi acisindan 1 yildiz veriyorum. Mustafa Temel ile olan goz muayenemde asla ve asla rahat hissetmedim. Bana karsi olan alayci ve kucumseyici tavrindan dolayi bu yorumu yaziyorum. Internette de ufak bir arastirmayla “doktor” lakabiyla insanlari tersledigini kendiniz de gorebilirsiniz. Tavrini bir kenara koyarsak, lens kullandigimi ve yenilemem gerektigini ustune basa basa soylememe ragmen sadece gozluk recetesi yazildi. O recete ile lens de alabilir miyim diye sordugumda yine kendini begenmis bir tavirla ucu acik bir cevap verdi. Optik magazama receteyle gittigimde elimdeki receteyle lens alamayacagimi ogrendim. Bir sonraki gun yurtdisina ucagim oldugu icin lenslerimi alamadan geri dondum. Bu magduriyetim giderilmedigi surece 1 yildiz olarak yorumum burada kalacak.
