Dr. Nejat has worked as a saviour for me during my stage four astrocytoma. I was not expecting that my disease will be cured as I was not able to cope up with my condition. I came to know about Dr. Nejat, who suggested to have IMRT. Initially, I was very scared, but he handled my problem with care and started treatment with IMRT. I observed a significant improvement in my health, and my condition is also under control.
