About the clinic

Radiation therapy for a brain tumor at Estophia Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, may cost around $8,750 USD. The treatment uses Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), a highly precise method for targeting tumors. This approach helps to minimize damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue.

The total treatment plan includes 30 radiotherapy sessions scheduled over about five weeks. Patients typically receive five sessions per week. The entire medical stay in Turkey is approximately five weeks. However, the hospital stay is organized on an outpatient basis. This means there are zero overnight stays at the hospital, as indicated in the package.

The procedure follows a specific preparation plan. Patients must complete a CT tomography scan. This scan is crucial for planning the radiotherapy targets accurately.

The all-inclusive medical package covers all essential aspects of treatment. There are no hidden costs for the core services. The package includes:

Doctor and surgeon fees
Operating room charges
Procedure-related laboratory tests and radiology (pre-op tests)
Daily treatment sessions
Nursing and other service charges
Transfer services between the airport, hotel, and hospital

Patients are responsible only for their accommodation and lodging. The hospital also mentions alternative advanced treatments. For suitable cases, they may offer options like CyberKnife. This is a robotic radiosurgery system known for its extreme precision.

For a detailed treatment plan tailored to a specific brain tumor diagnosis, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to connect with the clinic.

This hospital was first put into service in 1901, under the management of Dr. Vasil Dinov and Op. Dr. Garabet Yakubyan, with a capacity of 20 beds. In 1991, it continued to serve as Türkiye Gazetesi Hospital. I went to this hospital with my nephew to have his eyesight checked for a new eyeglasses prescription. The hospital looks very beautiful and historic. Also staff at the hospital were also very helpful. The whole process was smooth and fast.

For two years, I've suffered severe repeated and miserable respiratory illness with little respect from doctors. I went to Acibadem, and was treated like a cash cow - 9000tl for what? Fancy crown molding and designer entryways? I could not afford their basic consultation! With each visit, the price had only gone up while the quality of service dropped like a rock - more crowded, shorter appointments, overwhelmed staff. I was only spot treated and sent on my way, without spirometry or allergy testing, without education on my condition or even an official diagnosis. What doctor asks their patient if they want an allergy test!? How should I know? The gouging from Acidbadem, American, and Liv hospitals has been a common concern among myself and my friends. Even after I spent two nights at Acibadem because I could not breathe, my doc showed up for 20 seconds and left. She did not even speak to me. But my entire year of insurance coverage was blown. I tried state care as well, which I will not knock. Its amazing for broken arms, burns, stitches, immediate injuries. But the spirometry testing procedure was faulty and I was totally misdiagnosed. Turkiye Hastanesi, a private hospital, was like a breath of fresh air. My pulmonary/allergy doctor, Dr. Imran Ozdemir and the staff quickly and comfortably helped me identify that I have mild asthma, and that im allergic to all the grass and tree pollens. And the prices with insurance werent insulting or gouging, but very fair. Around 5000tl for a consult, testing and diagnosis, with MAPFRE insurance. 3600tl for an allergy test, a good price even though it was not covered. I know this is super expensive to Turks. But from my perspective as being from the US, access to healthcare like this for average Americans is literally unheard of and impossibly expensive. Tens of thousands of dollars. The campus is sprawling, green, and peaceful. It's cozy, and clean. And not at all pretentious. And I did not even have to ask for a woman translator. International guest services sent me Anna, immediately, and she was kind, professional, patient, and knowledgeable during both of my appointments. She even stepped in when another patient started randomly yelling at me. That woman seemed to think I had cut her in line, but I had shown her my number was next and she totally had a tantrum and started yelling and mocking me rudely with wildly inappropriate behavior. I spoke more than enough Turkish to set her straight, but Anna kept the situation calm and repeatedly informed the woman that hospital procedure was being followed, and redirected me to my appointment like a pro. And Hatice, who gave me my breath and allergy tests, has given me new faith and trust in medical services. Her dedication to a high standard of testing is a thing to behold. Im not exaggerating. After being misdiagnosed and neglected at other hospitals, it was her precision during our first breath test that led to an accurate diagnosis - only mild asthma, that can become risky when i have a virus or infection. And her allergy testing that sussed out that I'm allergic to tree and grass pollens. Finally an answer to my yearly miseries! Dr. Imran calmed my fears, prescribed me properly, and gave me actual guidance for lifestyle changes. And all were so kind and caring. This condition was seriously wrecking my quality of life. Thanks to Turkiye Hastanesi, I can get it back on track, and I have somewhere to go and a reliable doctor, if and when things get scary and i'm breathless again. That means a LOT. Will recommend to all my foreign colleagues.

This clinic failed to meet basic standards. I ended up with a staph infection after a hair transplant. All medical reports were provided, but I was ignored. Highly unprofessional and irresponsible.

I had a great experience here. All the nurses and medical staff were really caring and took good care of me and fed me well. As a foreigner, it was nice that there was a hospital translator with me during my pre op checks.
