About the clinic
Surgical treatment for epilepsy at Atlas University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides options for patients who do not respond to medication. The hospital holds AACI accreditation and treats over 500,000 patients every year. A team of specialists uses methods like resective surgery, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to help manage seizures.
Advanced Epilepsy Surgery Methods
The neurosurgery department offers three main surgical paths for drug-resistant epilepsy. Resective surgery involves removing the specific part of the brain where seizures start. For other cases, doctors use Vagus Nerve Stimulation, which sends regular electrical pulses to the brain. Another option is Deep Brain Stimulation, where a brain pacemaker helps control abnormal activity. Neurologists and neurosurgeons work together to choose the best method for each patient.
Evaluation and Specialist Team
Success depends on careful patient selection by the neurology department. Before any procedure, patients undergo a neurological evaluation, EEG tests, and imaging to find the seizure focus. The surgical team includes neurosurgeons such as Prof. Dr. Ersoy Kocabıçak, Doç. Dr. Hüseyin Doğu, Doç. Dr. Mehmet Hakan Şahin, and Dr. Ali Osman Muçuoğlu. These specialists handle the implantation of devices and the removal of epileptic tissue.
Hospital Infrastructure and Safety
Atlas University Hospital is a large facility with 400 beds and 19 operating rooms, including a hybrid room for complex cases. The hospital carries an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. This certification confirms that the facility meets safety standards for international patients. After surgery, the neurology team monitors recovery and programs devices like the brain pacemaker to fit the patient's needs.

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
