Reviewer 2 Report
The purpose of this study is to assess the TCM perspectives of people living in North Cyprus in relation to treatment effectiveness, patient trust, and patient satisfaction, as well as the effects of these variables on patient loyalty.

No description of study limitations.
Conclusions could include specific guidelines for medical practice.
