Eκλεισα ραντεβού σε μια περίοδο που ένιωθα το άγχος να με πνίγει. Ένιωσα άνετα αμέσως, συζήτησα τις επιλογές μου και αποφάσησα να ξεκινήσω αγωγή. Άκουσε τις ερωτήσεις μου και μου έδωσε αναλυτικές εξηγήσεις για το φάρμακο και με έκανε να νιώσω σιγουριά και ασφάλεια.

Έχοντας κακές εμπειρίες από προηγούμενες επαφές πήγα με άγχος αλλά ο γιατρός γρήγορα με έκανε να νιώσω άνετα. Συμπαθητικός και ανθρώπινος, με εξέτασε και μου έδωσε να κάνω διάφορες εξετάσεις. Μετά από 2 συναντήσεις ξεκίνησα αγωγή για ΔΕΠΥ και σχεδόν αμέσως είδα διαφορά.

Dr. Blekas is an exceptional psychiatrist who provided me with invaluable support in overcoming panic attacks.
