Επισκέφτηκα πρώτη φορά την κ. Βρακοπούλου μέσω παραπομπής της ασφαλιστικής μου και ομολογώ ότι ξεπέρασε κάθε προσδοκία μου . Μετά την γνωριμία μας , αποφάσισα να την εμπιστευτώ και για την αντιμετώπιση άλλου θέματος υγείας μου λόγω της πάρα πολύ καλής συνεργασίας μας . Είναι καταρτισμένη , ευγενής , επεξηγηματικότατη , επικοινωνιακή και πάνω απ΄όλα άνθρωπος . Με κατεύθυνε εκπέμποντας εμπιστοσύνη και συνέπεια. Ήταν δίπλα μου να με συμβουλεύει άμεσα όποτε την χρειάστηκα και σίγουρα της είμαι ευγνώμων . Την συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα για γνωμάτευση αλλά και για περαιτέρω ιατρικές πράξεις .

Πήρα μια δεύτερη γνώμη απ' την ιατρό και Βρακοπουλου. Με ενημέρωσε πλήρως για όλα με συνέπεια και κατανόηση. Την συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε οποιονδήποτε ψάχνει μια ήρεμη, καλοσυνάτη, έμπειρη και έμπιστη ιατρό.

Η Ζωή είναι εξαιρετική γιατρός, δίνει χρόνο και προσοχή στον ασθενή και δεν κοιτά να σε "ξεπετάξει" (σε αντίθεση με τους περισσότερους). Συνίσταται ανεπιφύλακτα.
