Dr. Ozcan’s career in medicine began in 2001. By 2006, he had completed urology training and went on to practice nearly two decades in Turkey. In 2024, after a year of working toward licensure and relocation, he made the move to Alberta and joined the surgical team at Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
His interest in surgery was clear early on, but it was the emerging world of minimally invasive urology that captured his interest during his training years.
When asked what continues to motivate him after nearly 25 years in medicine, Dr. Ozcan reflects on the moments that stay with him.
“It’s seeing someone’s face change after surgery,” he says. “When a patient begins in such distress and you’re able to change something that improves their life – that feeling is everything.”
