About the clinic
Emsey Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a complete range of services for epilepsy, from diagnosis to advanced treatments. Diagnostics may cost around $400 for an MRI, while treatment options include regenerative stem cell therapy for about 6,000 EUR per session and deep brain stimulation surgery priced around $38,000. The JCI-accredited hospital features specialized neurology and neurosurgery departments, supported by advanced technology like 3 Tesla MRI and stereotactic neurosurgery equipment.
Dr. Umut Dogu Akturk, a neurosurgeon with nine years of specialized training, leads the neurosurgical team. His expertise includes brain and spinal surgery. The hospital provides a comprehensive diagnostic package for epilepsy evaluation. This package may cost around $1,350 and includes several key components.
- Consultations with both a neurologist and a neurosurgeon.
- An EEG (electroencephalography) to measure brain activity.
- A brain MRI for detailed imaging.
- Routine blood tests to assess overall health.
For treatment, Emsey Hospital provides both innovative and surgical options for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy (hUC-MSC) is a regenerative approach. It involves injecting stem cells intravenously and into the spinal canal. This therapy typically requires 4 to 6 sessions spaced 21 days apart, with each session involving one day of hospitalization. It aims to improve neurological function and is performed after seizures are controlled.
The primary surgical option is deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. This procedure implants a neurostimulator device to help reduce seizure frequency. It is a major option for patients who do not respond to medication. The hospital's neurosurgery suite is equipped for such complex procedures. Emsey Hospital's integrated approach combines expert medical staff with high-tech diagnostics and diverse treatment pathways. Patients can explore these options to find a personalized care plan for managing epilepsy.

برنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله كبرنامج بوكيميد ممتاز الناس اللي فيه ممتازين الرد ممتاز بس اخر مره عن طريق مستشفى ام سي تركيا المترجم شخص اسمه عيسى ضعيف جدا في الترجمه وما يترجم ليش في كلام الدكتور لان الدكتور تكلم فتره طويله وكانت الترجمه فتره بسيطه فكان في اشياء كثيره ما يترجمش فيها لي وما استفدتش منها اي حاجه وما استفدتش من الكشف دكتور
May the peace and mercy of God be with you. As a great program, the people who use it are great. The answer is excellent, but the last time was through MC Hospital Türkiye. The translator is a man named Issa. It is very weak in translation and does not translate. Why is this from the words of the doctor? Because the doctor spoke for a long time, and the translation was short, so there was a lot of things. It does not translate for me, and it did not benefit me at all, and the examination didn't help, doctor

From personal experience, very bad. Money was taken, no treatment was prescribed. Diagonstik proiti from morning to evening turn from one office to another. I went for 2 days, my condition worsened and I left. Transfer managers, the hotel is well organized. And you should not go to the clinic, the doctors do not understand the patient. This is not a clinic, probably a diagnostic center. With my shortness of breath, I almost died in the corridor, they did not provide honey. help. Generally Emsey for me
