Diagnostics for Epilepsy

Accurate diagnosis is the first step. The hospital provides advanced imaging services on-site.

Treatment Option: Vagus Nerve Stimulation

For patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, neurostimulation is an option. The clinic offers vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) surgery.

  • Vagus nerve stimulation: A small device is implanted under the skin near the collarbone. It sends mild electrical pulses to the brain via the vagus nerve. This therapy aims to reduce seizure frequency over time.

Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient

image image image image
Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient. Everything here is organized the way it should be in an ideal clinic: the staff is attentive, considerate, always ready to help, and does not just go through formal procedures. Unlike many expensive clinics, where everything feels cold and impersonal, where patients are treated almost like on a conveyor belt, here you truly feel involvement and empathy. Every step, every detail is thoughtfully planned with the patient in mind, creating a sense of safety and comfort. Here, they don’t just treat and send you away — they guide and support you at every stage, creating an atmosphere of trust and warmth. This approach makes the stay in the clinic as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
In short, my experience was simply amazing. I highly recommend Lokman Hekim among other Turkish clinics, in Istanbul and other cities, because everything here is truly top-notch. I have already shared more detailed impressions in other reviews, but in short — everything was perfect.
Everything was perfect
About Bookimed service
My experience with Bookimed was absolutely amazing. My sister even went with me to have blepharoplasty, and she immediately wanted to have her surgery at the same clinic where I had mine, because the plastic surgeon there was incredibly professional and outstanding. I can confidently recommend Bookimed to all my relatives, and I would gladly go again to this clinic and only to these doctors, because every specialist in the clinic is exceptional and excellent. Bookimed is truly an amazing platform. I am grateful that it exists because it is very important for people who cannot find the best doctors in their own countries. The platform helps to find the best options for each patient individually, offering different choices so that everyone can select what is optimal for them.

Totally recommend 100%

Great medical team! 🤍 The Translator's did not know medical terminology, and staff didn't know at all English, but we've managed with translation applications. They had to reopen me as a distancer put between my vetebras slipped (needed a bigger size to be put in there) Now im recovery nice and well and all thanks to these wonderful people's that helped! Totally recommend 100%
I liked when i complained about pain, they did an X-ray and found that there was a problem.
I woke up from the surgery screaming of pain, and they keep me like that for almost 2 hours (some protocols), for me it was unhuman to go through that excruciating paint and nobody give me a damn pill.
About Bookimed service

Anyway, he is willing to do the bone marrow analysis which will give us some answers

It was very good. Dr. just didn't seem to know much about hereditary alpha tryptasemia but in fairness, it is very hard to find a Dr. who knows this information. Anyway, he is willing to do the bone marrow analysis which will give us some answers.
I liked Dr and the consultant who helped us.
Would like it if he knew more about our condition but not many do.
