About the clinic
Parkinson's disease treatment is available at the Medipol University Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Center (PARMER) in Istanbul, Turkey. A consultation costs around $150-$200. A non-invasive MRgFUS procedure runs $15,750-$20,000, while a surgical DBS package with a 3-4 week stay is $24,250-$28,500. The center is led by Assoc. Prof. Ali Zirh, a neurosurgeon with 37 years of specialized experience and over 1,500 procedures performed.
Patients receive a thorough diagnostic workup to confirm the condition and its stage. This helps determine the most suitable treatment path.
Parkinson's Diagnostics at Medipol
The center offers several key diagnostic tools:
- Neurologist and Neurosurgeon consultations for expert evaluation.
- Advanced imaging like Brain MRI (around $75-$100) and CT scans (around $300).
- An On/Off medication evaluation to assess symptom fluctuations.
Advanced Parkinson's Treatment Options
Medipol PARMER provides two main advanced treatment methods. The choice depends on individual symptoms and health.
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) involves surgically implanting a rechargeable neurostimulator in the brain. It helps control movement symptoms like tremors for many years. The full service package typically costs $24,250-$28,500. It includes:
- 4-day hospitalization and the surgical procedure.
- A Boston Scientific rechargeable neurostimulator.
- 3 weeks of device programming adjustments.
- A 3-4 week stay in a guesthouse with airport transfers and meals.
- One year of remote follow-up care.
- Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a non-surgical option. It uses focused ultrasound waves guided by an MRI to target specific brain areas. There is no incision and patients usually go home the same day. This procedure may cost around $15,750-$20,000.
Expert Care in an Accredited Facility
Assoc. Prof. Ali Zirh leads the surgical team. He is a professor of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. His 37-year career includes performing over 1,500 neurosurgical procedures. He holds a Guinness World Record for gathering the largest group of DBS patients and trained internationally.
The Medipol University Hospital itself is JCI-accredited. It features an 810-bed facility with intra-operative MRI and navigation technology. This supports highly precise surgical planning.
These advanced services offer new hope for managing Parkinson's symptoms. You can discuss these options with the clinic's specialists to see what fits your individual needs.

Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team
Operation DBS. Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team . Because setting up the equipment is as important process for patients as the operation to install it. Honestly, I can't imagine that such an operation can be done in Ukraine.... Of course, there are young and promising doctors. But there is no equipment.

Thanks to doctors and translator
Very large modern clinic, helpful and friendly staff. They provided a transfer from the airport to the hotel and to the hospital. The doctor carefully examined and examined (in my opinion) competently explained everything to us, answered all our questions, prescribed treatment. We liked everything.

"But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc
I would like to express our satisfaction with the DBS operation, the stay in the hospital, which I dare to say at the world level. Dr. Ali Zirh is an absolute professional, precise, clear, concrete and above all very human. But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc. Ali Zarh. Last but not least, I am fascinated by the neurologist Dr. Basak and her team, who for 21 days took care of regulating the exact therapy and impulses of my husband. Our entire stay was reduced to the last detail for our benefit, to feel at home. We have not regretted it for a moment, that we chose MEDIPOL MEGA GROUP, thank you Mahmoud, you were born to help people like us!!!
Please to reword Mahmoud Kathab ,he deserved a lot!!!
