Sn Yaşar Özdenkaya'nın Türk Tıbbı için büyük bir şans olduğunu düşünüyorum.
2005 yılında Troid CA/Lenf Nodu Metastazı tanısı ile ameliyat oldum.
Ameliyatımı Sn Yaşar Özdenkaya gerçekleştirmiş, ameliyat yaklaşık 8 saat sürmüştü.
Aradan geçen bunca yıla rağmen hala oldukça sağlıklı ise, bunu başta Sn Yaşar Özdenkaya ve ekip arkadaşlarına borçluyum.
Sn Yaşar Özdenkaya'nın ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası hasta Dr ilişkileri gerçekten çok iyi.
Bu vesile ile; Kendisine tekrar tekrar teşekkür ediyor, sağlıklı ve mutlu bir hayat diliyorum.
Sevgi saygı ve minnetle.
Esen kalın.
Tiroid ameliyatı oldum.hocam ve ekibine teşekür ederim ilgili bir hocadır tafsiye ederim.
