We have been seeing Dr. Oya Ercan for three years. She monitors our daughter with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Ercan is a true professional. She is always available for consultations, patiently answers all questions, and gives clear recommendations on disease management. Thanks to her competent approach, we manage to maintain stable blood sugar levels in our child. We are very pleased to have found this doctor at the Memorial Clinic.
Ercan bey, 8 yildir ve 3 çocuğumuzla sürekli devam ettigimiz bir doktor. Gerçekten konusuna hakim ve ilgili. Her an ulaşabiliyorsunuz ve tatmin edici düzeyde ilgi ve bilgi alıyorsunuz. Çocuk ile ilgili bizim hatırlamadığımız geçmiş detayları bile hatırlıyor, burdan işini ve çocukları samimi bir şekilde sevdiğini net bir şekilde anlayabiliyorsunuz. İyi ki sizin gibi doktorlara sahibiz.
we want to sent 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 :)

Kendisinden randevu alarak gittik, kızımızın endokrin değil ramatoloji ye gitmesi gerektiğini söyledi bize her türlü yardım ve yönlendirmede bulundu. Mesleğini severek yapan çok saygı duyduğum ve örnek alınacak insan gibi bir dr. Kendisine çok teşekkür ederim

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
