Εξαιρετικός επιστήμονας. Ευγενικός και μεθοδικός, εξηγεί τα πάντα αναλυτικά και με τρόπο που δείχνει ότι νοιάζεται για τον ασθενή. Τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα. Ο τρόπος του συνδυάζει επαγγελματισμό με μια ανθρώπινη και ευγενική προσέγγιση. Ο χώρος του ιατρείου είναι σύγχρονος, οργανωμένος και πεντακάθαρος, παρέχοντας ένα αίσθημα ασφάλειας και άνεσης στους ασθενείς. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ, γιατρέ.

Έμπειρος, ευγενικός και προσεκτικός. Η εξέταση ήταν λεπτομερής και ο γιατρός αφιέρωσε χρόνο να εξηγήσει το κάθε στάδιο αυτής, καθώς και τα ευρήματα. Το ιατρείο είναι πολύ ευχάριστο και ο εξοπλισμός ιδιαίτερα σύγχρονος.
