Ercan Uyan

endocrinological disorders

Dr. Ercan has been our physician for 8 years with our 3 children. She is truly a knowledgeable specialist. You can reach out to her at any time and receive her attention and all the necessary information. She even remembers past details about the child that we don't remember, which clearly shows that she genuinely loves her work and children. We are fortunate to have such doctors.

endocrinological disorders

We had a very good experience at Memorial hospital, the staff was kind and helpful. But we want to send special thanks to child endocrinology Prof. Dr. Oya Ercan. She is so professional, and we trust her till the end. Also, Dr. Burak Emre Aydin was so careful with our child and did his job very well. Thank you so much. Many regards :)

growth deficit

We visited Dr. Oya Ercan at the Memorial Clinic regarding growth problems of our 8-year-old son. Dr. Ercan conducted a thorough examination, including tests and scans. She listened to our concerns very attentively and explained the situation in detail. The prescribed treatment gave good results - our son grew significantly within a year. We are grateful to Dr. Ercan for her professionalism and sensitive attitude towards young patients.
