About the clinic

Essential tremor treatment at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on advanced neuromodulation and precise diagnostics. A consultation with a neurologist may cost around $160, while brain imaging typically runs $700–$900, and deep brain stimulation surgery is around $20,700. This JCI-accredited facility uses a 3 Tesla MRI and a 640-slice CT scanner for high-resolution brain mapping.

Diagnostic options for essential tremor

The diagnostic process identifies the tremor type and evaluates suitability for surgery. Patients receive detailed imaging to pinpoint affected brain areas. The clinic uses the Pyxis medication safety system to manage all pharmacological tests. Most evaluations at the hospital include:

Consultation with a neurologist. This initial exam costs around $160 to assess motor skills.
Brain MRI with contrast. This scan is around $700 and shows detailed brain structures.
Computer tomography (CT). A CT scan may cost around $400–$900 depending on the complexity.
Video-EEG monitoring. This test is around $900 and tracks brain wave patterns over time.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the primary surgical treatment for medication-resistant essential tremor. The procedure involves placing thin electrodes into specific parts of the brain. These electrodes connect to a small device placed under the skin near the collarbone. The device sends electrical signals to block the tremors.

This method helps patients who no longer respond to standard medications. The surgery is around $20,700 at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental. The medical team uses 3 Tesla MRI technology to guide electrode placement with high precision. This accuracy is vital for reducing tremor symptoms effectively.

The physicians and staff were exceptional

If you're considering a medical check-up abroad, here’s my honest take. I traveled from the U.S. to Istanbul for a comprehensive medical examination at Hisar Hospital, arranged through Bookimed. The physicians and staff were exceptional. I found them professional and genuinely caring. On the other hand, the overall efficiency could be improved, particularly with appointment scheduling and the wait times between departments; better coordination would make the experience smoother. Despite the delays, the quality of care and affordability made it worthwhile, and I received valuable insight into my health at a fraction of the U.S. cost.

I recently traveled from the U.S. to Istanbul for a comprehensive medical examination at Hisar Hospital, arranged through Bookimed. The physicians and medical staff were exceptional—professional, thorough, attentive, and genuinely caring. Although there were some scheduling delays and opportunities to improve efficiency, the quality of care and affordability made the experience worthwhile. I received valuable insight into my health at a fraction of what similar care would cost in the U.S. I'm grateful to Bookimed for helping coordinate my visit and to Hisar Hospital for the excellent medical care. I would absolutely recommend both to anyone considering medical tourism!

The overall efficiency could be improved, particularly with appointment scheduling, wait times between departments, and communication throughout the process. Better coordination would make the experience smoother and less time-consuming for patients.

I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence

My primary concern before traveling for a PET-CT with Gallium 68 was the logistical side of things and whether every step would be clearly explained and executed in a new medical system. These worries proved to be entirely unfounded. The entire process was managed with clear and direct communication from the staff and the surgeon, which made a significant difference. The clinic's organization was evident. Everything was handled systematically, and each stage of the diagnostic procedure was laid out for me beforehand, so there were no surprises. The approach was very professional. but I can confirm that this part of my medical journey was managed with thorough competence.
