Επέλεξα τον κ. Σαντά ως ορθοπεδικό επειδή είχε πολυ καλες κριτικές και, πράγματι, επιβεβαίωσε πλήρως τη φήμη του. Ήταν πολύ καλός, επαγγελματίας και εξυπηρετικός. Είχα γαγγλίο στο πόδι και μου εξήγησε αναλυτικά τι είναι και ποιες είναι οι διαθέσιμες επιλογές. Επειδή δεν είχα πολύ χρόνο στη διάθεσή μου καθώς επρόκειτο να φύγω στο εξωτερικό, φρόντισε να κανονιστεί το χειρουργείο όσο πιο άμεσα γινόταν. Μετά την επέμβαση έδειξε πραγματικό ενδιαφέρον για την πορεία της ανάρρωσής μου και ήλεγξε πώς είμαι. Τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!
