17 Şubat 2020 tarihinde aort koarktasyonu tamiri ameliyatımı gerçekleştirdi. Gerek kurum gerek ekim olarak çok memnun kaldım. İyi ki Rıza Hocama gitmişim iyi ki kendimi ona emanet etmişim. Riskli bir yaş grubunda böyle bir ameliyat ve bu kadar çabuk toparlanmamı Rıza Bey ve ekibine borçluyum. Her şey için çok teşekkürler.
1 yaşındaki kız çocuğu ameliyat ettirdik 2010 yılında... hakikaten Türkiye de rıza hoca kadar tecrübeli ikinci bi cocuk kardiyolojisi var mı diye düşünüyorum.. başarılarının devamını dilerim..
