Exceptional, highly professional, empathic, with both patients and relatives, a doctor very passionate about what he does and dedicated to his patients. I thank him and the AT-MED team for getting me a second chance to live.
Words are useless. When you get the diagnosis of cancer you can only think of two things. Fight in white cloths or accept the diagnosis and give up. I chose to fight and with the AT-MED team I got to Dr Drach. He’s been with me since I’ve first stepped into the hospital until we’ve been goodbye and we see twice a year for routine checks. He is an angel among the people and I owe him every day of my life.
Mr. Johannes Drach is very well trained professionally. I didn’t feel a strager in his office and although I don’t have a serious case, as the ones that I’ve met in the salon where I was hospitalized, I only heard beautiful words about him. I recommend him to everyone.
