About the clinic
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at Atlas University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a specialized solution for chronic pain management. The hospital offers this advanced procedure within its dedicated Brain Pacemaker (Neuromodulation) Center, supported by over 25 years of neurosurgery experience. Patients benefit from a facility that holds AACI accreditation and treats over 500,000 people every year.
Advanced Neuromodulation Center
The hospital operates a specialized Brain Pacemaker Center. This center focuses on neuromodulation techniques like the spinal cord stimulator, often called a pain pacemaker. The medical team has over 15 years of experience specifically in brain and nerve stimulation. They use a multidisciplinary approach to help patients manage persistent pain that has not responded to other treatments. The facility features 400 beds and 19 operating rooms, including a hybrid room for complex cases.
Expert Neurosurgery Team
The neurosurgery department is staffed by specialists who focus on nerve and brain health. This team includes Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Hakan Şahin and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Osman Muçuoğlu. Dr. Hüseyin Doğu also provides care within this department. These surgeons manage a wide range of nerve-related procedures. This includes the placement of SCS devices, vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy, and baclofen pumps for spasticity.
Quality and Patient Safety
Atlas University Hospital holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. This certificate confirms the hospital meets specific standards for international patient care. The AACI accreditation further demonstrates a commitment to medical quality and safety. By treating over 565,000 patients annually, the hospital maintains a high volume of experience across various surgical specialties.
SCS Procedure Benefits
Spinal cord stimulation helps block pain signals before they reach the brain. Doctors often recommend this for patients with failed back surgery syndrome or complex regional pain. The process typically involves a trial phase to see if the device reduces pain before a permanent implant is placed.

A hospital that feels like a 7-star hotel—exceptional care, top-tier facilities, and outstanding service. Everything is meticulously designed, from the lighting to the curtains. Plenty of staff, receptionists, and elevators make everything smooth. The only thing to improve? English proficiency.

⭐ 1 Star – AVOID THIS CLINIC! SCAMMERS & UNPROFESSIONAL
I had an absolutely terrible experience at this clinic and feel completely scammed. I initially paid €6,600 for a set of procedures, including a chin implant, jaw implants, lip filler, teeth whitening and an eyebrow lift. However, I was misled and deceived right from the start.
1. Lies About Jaw Implants: I requested jaw implants, but after I arrived, paid, and signed the contract, they suddenly told me I would be getting jaw filler instead of actual implants. This was never mentioned before, meaning they tricked me into a completely different procedure than what I agreed to.
2. Incomplete Procedures & Insufficient Refund: The jaw filler and teeth whitening were never performed, yet they only refunded me €150, which is nowhere near the cost of the missing procedures.
3. Botched Surgery: The chin implant was done incorrectly. It is badly positioned, and the results are completely different from what was promised. Now I am left needing corrective surgery because of their unprofessional work.
4. Disastrous Lip Filler: The lip filler procedure has left my lips looking completely distorted. I don’t know if it was a botched job or if the filler was incorrectly applied, but they may totally ruin the shape of my lips, making them look unnatural and asymmetrical
5. Terrible Customer Service: After I contacted them multiple times to fix the situation, they ignored my messages and refused to take responsibility for the damage they caused. Instead of resolving the issue, they avoided me completely.
I am now taking legal action against this clinic and reporting them to the Turkish Ministry of Health, the Turkish Medical Association, the Istanbul Health Directorate, and consumer protection authorities. I will also be filing a complaint with the police for their fraudulent practices.
DO NOT TRUST THIS CLINIC! They lie to their patients, take their money, and perform low-quality, unsafe procedures. If you are considering surgery here, stay away and go to a reputable place instead!

Please avoid this place. Your health is not taken into consideration, only your money is. Surgical equipment was reused after been dropped on the floor. The staff just want to drain every last penny out of you they can. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I have endless screenshot and solid evidence of serious medical negligence. When confronted you get a robot response with no acknowledgement of the disgusting service. This place needs shutting down
