About the clinic
Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers epilepsy diagnostics and treatment programs. The diagnostic package costs $1,320–$1,500 and includes a 3.0 Tesla brain MRI, EEG, and neurologist consultation. For complex epilepsy surgery, the hospital provides advanced procedures starting at €29,500.
Epilepsy Diagnostic Program
The one-day diagnostic program helps identify the cause and type of epilepsy. It includes three key tests. The brain MRI uses a powerful 3.0 Tesla scanner to detect structural abnormalities. The EEG records electrical brain activity to locate seizure origins. A neurologist reviews all results and recommends treatment.
Dr. Gulumser Kiziltas Tokmak leads the neurology consultations. She has 21 years of experience in epilepsy care. The MRI costs $500–600, the EEG costs $300–500, and the consultation is $120. Airport transfers are included. Hotel accommodation is arranged separately.
Epilepsy Surgery Program
For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, the hospital offers surgical treatment. Dr. Ertugrul Pinar, a neurosurgeon with 19 years of experience, performs the procedures. The surgery program costs €29,500 and includes 8 days in a standard ward plus 2 nights in intensive care.
The surgical approach is tailored to each patient. Common procedures include selective hippocampectomy for hippocampal sclerosis and endoscopic fenestration for arachnoid cysts. The hospital uses neuromonitoring and neuronavigation during surgery. These technologies help protect healthy brain tissue. Intraoperative EEG confirms complete seizure focus removal.
The surgery package includes all implants (8 plates and 32 mini-screws), personal nurse assistance, translator services, and meals for one companion. For precise seizure localization, invasive EEG monitoring may be recommended. This involves placing electrodes directly on the brain for two days.
Rehabilitation Program
A 30-day inpatient rehabilitation program is available for $19,250. Dr. Bestami Yalvac, a pediatric rehabilitation specialist with 20 years of experience, oversees the program. It includes 30 physical therapy sessions designed to improve mobility, balance, and coordination after neurological events.
The program uses advanced equipment. The Smart Gravity System supports body weight during gait training. Computer-assisted balance devices strengthen postural control. Isokinetic exercise machines measure and increase muscle strength. Five ozone therapy sessions promote circulation and energy. Three specialist consultations monitor progress throughout the stay.

Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul for the high professionalism, attentiveness and care shown at every stage of my treatment.
I underwent hysteroscopic removal of several endometrial polyps, including one large one measuring 3 cm. Everything went perfectly - from the initial consultation to the surgery and post-operative care.
Special thanks to my doctor - Op. Dr Berna Buse Kobal. She inspired confidence from the very beginning, explained everything calmly and clearly, acted very carefully and confidently. After the operation I felt great, without pain or discomfort. The nurses and all the staff of the clinic were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere in the hospital is clean, modern, comfortable and absolutely safe.
I would also like to thank Julia, a Bookimed employee, who helped me with counselling and organising the trip. We made the decision literally at the last moment: we were informed from Dushanbe in the evening, flew out at night, and already in the morning I was in the clinic. Everything was organised perfectly - meeting, hospitalisation, surgery on the same day, and in the evening I was already relaxing in the hotel and feeling great.
Thank you so much to the whole team for their clear, professional and heartfelt work! 💐
I confidently recommend Hisar Hospital Intercontinental and Bookimed to all women who are looking for quality, fast and safe treatment abroad.
Promptness, value for money. Approach.
There's no such thing

I recently underwent a procedure for my deviated septum, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! I can finally breathe with ease, and the whole experience has been life-changing. The surgeon was absolutely amazing—so humble, professional, and incredibly skilled. The results speak for themselves, and I’m so grateful for the excellent job he did.
I also want to highlight the fantastic support from Bookimed and their team. Maria, my coordinator, was exceptional. She was attentive, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The entire process was seamless, and I felt well taken care of every step of the way.
Hisar Hospital was another highlight—clean, modern, and with a team of incredible nurses and staff who made sure I was comfortable and well-informed throughout my recovery. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Bookimed is super reliable, and I highly recommend their services. If you’re considering this procedure, don't hesitate to reach out to them. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice
Bookimed was a tremendous help to me. Dr Hanna was an amazing coordinator. She helped answer all my questions, looked for different hospitals and pricing, and always responded to me the same day. Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice. I truly appreciated her help and support throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Bookimed for anyone seeking affordable healthcare and quality service. Very happy with my results.
Dr Hanna’s support and coordination. It was truly an effortless experience knowing she was there to help meet all my needs. Her support gave me the comfort in using health services outside the US.
Nothing major. Took a little time to get my final report (about a week). The doctors assistant was apparently sick but I was happy regardless since the results of the colonoscopy and endoscopy were given immediately after the procedure.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was the ultimate reason I chose to seek medical services outside the US. They made the experience well coordinated and trouble free. Dr Hanna was super responsive and willing to help in any way possible. I was able to get a response the same day (often times within a few seconds of asking). I was very happy with Bookimed and recommend it to anyone looking for healthcare abroad. Kudos to the whole team for making it a great experience.Yuliya Gurska • Stomach resection Spain
