Dr.Akpek saved my life after being diagnosed with idiopathic aplastic anemia. I was 19 then I’m 28 now, his energy is calming and puts you at ease. I literally had a stem cell transplant and recovered in months no complications. He’s amazing thank you Dr.Akpek for helping me get a new life if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have my own beautiful family! Bless You
