Testimonials
Dr. X is one of the best, brightest and most professional doctors and teachers I have had the honour to work with and learn from. When in contact with patients, he gives them plenty of time, answers all their questions, explains everything to the best of his ability and never forgets about humanity and humility. His bedside manner is excellent; the advice I received from him on how to communicate with patients will always remain in my memory. His level of theoretical as well as practical knowledge is exceptional; if he ever decided to train students and future doctors, everyone would be grateful! He was always happy to answer all my questions, draw diagrams, draw parallels and make comparisons to make things easier for me to understand. And in our free time, we always had interesting conversations not only about medicine, but also about life, family and the world. I really enjoyed the time I spent with Dr. X, I not only learned many valuable things from him for my future profession as a vascular surgeon, but I also gained a lot for my personal life and outlook on it.
