Medipol University Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center (PARMER): more details about the clinic
Turkey, Istanbul
Medipol University Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center (PARMER) is a private specialty center in Istanbul, Turkey. It opened in 2018 as part of Medipol University. The center diagnoses and treats Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders in children and adults.
Center Profile and Recognition
PARMER is recognized as a Center of Excellence and Education for movement disorders. Neurologists and neurosurgeons from the region come here for hands-on training. This includes deep brain stimulation surgery and device programming.
Boston Scientific chose PARMER as its education and excellence center. The center signed a similar agreement with Abbott in 2019.
Movement Disorder Care
Neurology
Neurologists diagnose Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders and plan each patient’s treatment.
Conditions treated include:
- Essential tremor and other tremors
- Dystonia
- Parkinson-plus syndromes
- Huntington’s disease
- Tardive syndromes
- Chorea and paroxysmal dyskinesias
- Myoclonus and Wilson’s disease
Medication comes first for Parkinson’s-related movement symptoms. If it doesn’t control symptoms well enough, surgery becomes an option.
Neurosurgery and Deep Brain Stimulation
PARMER performs deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. DBS sends electrical signals to targeted brain areas, so it changes how cells there behave.
During DBS, surgeons use microelectrode recording and single-cell stimulation. This technique reads activity from individual brain cells.
For tremor, the center also offers MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS). It treats a targeted area without an incision.
Rehabilitation and Speech Therapy
Physical therapy covers walking, balance, and coordination training for movement disorders. Speech therapists treat speech and swallowing problems linked to Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.
Speech treatment includes Lee Silverman Voice Therapy. For swallowing, therapy can involve exercises and changes to food texture.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
ExcelsiusGPS provides robotic navigation during DBS surgery. A lab on-site supports genetic diagnostic testing.
With the Biodex balance system, therapists assess fall risk and run balance exercises. Its interactive programs target the specific balance problem found, so training fits each patient.
International Patient Background
PARMER treats international patients from these regions:
- Europe and the Balkans
- The United States and Canada
- Australia

We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team
We had a very positive experience at the hospital. My father underwent surgery and we are grateful to say it was successful. The doctors and nurses were professional, attentive, and ensured he received excellent care throughout his stay. The hospital facilities were clean and well-organised, and everything went according to plan.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the total cost exceeded what we initially planned for, but overall, the quality of care and the successful outcome made it worthwhile. We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team.

Overall, we are very satisfied with our visit to this clinic, the patient management tactics and we have a follow-up visit planned in 3 months
Good afternoon! We are from Kyrgyzstan!
We applied to the clinic through the bookimed website.
The coordinator Anastasia was very helpful, everything was organised very clearly, we were never disappointed. The clinic itself is impressive in terms of scale, cleanliness and quality of service, the staff is friendly and attentive. Our interpreter Lamia worked with us, coordinated our logistics around the clinic, tried to ensure timely appointments with doctors, she was very comfortable and easy to communicate with. But, there was a moment with the examination: we were referred to MRI, the procedure was quite long, the room was quite cold, so I was very cold. As a recommendation - it would be good to warn patients about the need to maintain a certain temperature regime in this room and somehow provide comfort as much as possible.
Overall, we are very satisfied with our visit to this clinic, the patient management tactics and we have a follow-up visit planned in 3 months.
