Arkadaşımı götürdüm ve bizi açıklamaları ile çok rahatlattı. Belki de gereksiz yere ameliyat olacaktı ama Nihal hanım sayesinde kafamızdaki tüm endişeler giderilmiş oldu. Mutlaka ikinci bir görüş almak gerektiğini de yaşayarak bizzat anladık.
I have had two surgeries at Park View Hospital, this time for breast carcinoma in situ resection. Dr. Nihan is very nice, she is very gentle and attentive and professional, and the nurses are very polite. The surgery was a success, I felt almost no pain after the operation, and now it's been a week and I'm recovering well.
Dr. Nihal was the one who discovered my breast cancer and performed the surgery. I have to say, she was incredibly professional, diplomatic, conscious, and supportive throughout the entire process. Her care made a difficult journey more bearable, and I'm truly grateful for her expertise and compassion.
