Ben 7 yıldır Prof.Dr.Merdan Fayda hocamın hastasıyım, 7 yıl önce radyoterapim ve brakiterapi mi Merdan hocam yaptı ve ben inanın bu kadar ilgili, bu kadar bilgili bir doktor çok az tanıdım. İşini layıkı ile yapan ve gerçekten hipokrat yeminini en iyi şekil de yerine getiren doktorlardan biridir. İnanın 7 yıldır hiç bir zaman bıkmadan ve hep aynı ilgiyle hastasıyla ilgilenen hocama cani gönülden teşekkür ediyorım, iyi ki Merdan hocayı tanıdım ve herkese çok samimiyetle kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Ve ben Merdan hocama danışmadan sağlığımla ilgili hiç bir şey yapmak istemiyoru ve yapmıyorum da. Çünkü ona ve bilgisine çok güveniyorum. Merdan hocam iyi ki sizi tanıdım, iyi ki varsınız!
Hocamıza yardımları ve destekleri için teşekkür ederim

He is not only an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled doctor but also an attentive listener who takes the time to understand his patients' concerns and needs. His ability to explain complex medical concepts in a simple and reassuring manner is truly commendable, leaving me feeling well-informed and confident in the treatment options.
Throughout my appointments, Dr. Fayda exhibited an unwavering commitment to my well-being, demonstrating true dedication to ensuring the best possible outcomes. His genuine care and compassion made me feel valued as a patient, and I never felt rushed during consultations.
Furthermore, the state-of-the-art facilities and advanced medical equipment at his clinic are a testament to his commitment to providing top-notch healthcare.

I got a stereotactic radiosurgery session from Dr. Fayda. I referred him for my breast cancer treatment and I am glad that I am recovered now.

I was diagnosed with 2nd stage prostate cancer and was advised to get my treatment from Liv hospital Ulus. I am glad that I made this decision. I had brachytherapy of my prostate from Fayda and he has proven to be a very helpful radiosurgeon.
