About the clinic

Spina bifida treatment at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, is managed by a multidisciplinary Spine Center team. Diagnostic options include a consultation with a neurosurgeon for around $200, a spinal cord MRI for about $800, and a biopsy typically costing $1,000–$1,800. The facility holds JCI and ISO accreditations and uses a specialized team of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and physical therapists for complex spine disorders.

Diagnostic options for spina bifida

The hospital provides high-resolution imaging and specialist evaluations to determine the extent of the spinal cord anomaly. Patients receive a clear plan after the following tests:

Tumor marker blood test. This test costs around $100 and helps rule out other conditions.
Consultation with a neurosurgeon. For around $200, a specialist like Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ evaluates the patient's neurological function.
MRI of the spinal cord. An imaging session using 3 Tesla MRI technology costs around $800.
Prenatal screening. The perinatology department follows high-risk pregnancies to identify congenital anomalies before birth.

Multidisciplinary treatment approach

The Spine Center at Memorial Antalya treats pediatric and adult spine disorders using a combined medical approach. Prof. Dr. Mahmut AKYÜZ, a neurosurgery specialist, leads the surgical interventions. The pediatric surgery department focuses on correcting congenital anomalies, which is essential for newborns with spina bifida.

For postoperative safety, the hospital operates a neonatal intensive care unit. This unit supports newborns with complex conditions immediately after surgical correction. The perinatology department also works alongside the surgical team to manage high-risk cases. This collaboration between neurosurgery, orthopedics, and physical therapy helps manage long-term recovery and mobility.

Anonymous • Consultation with a gynecologist United Kingdom

Verified review.

My coordinator stayed in touch and was absolutely wonderful; she was so empathetic and easy to talk to

If you're considering this, here's what you should know about my gynecology consultation. My coordinator stayed in touch and was absolutely wonderful; she was so empathetic and easy to talk to. The clinic itself was great. The main issue was getting my report afterwards. It was difficult. The translator eventually emailed it, but at the same time, another hospital employee told me I wasn't entitled to my report at all. This created a lot of confusion. Bookimed did chase it up, and I know they can only do so much, but the communication breakdown was definitely caused by the hospital.

Anonymous • Rhinoplasty (nose job)

Verified review.

The surgeon and the entire staff were wonderful

Receiving the very clear aftercare guide was a relief. The clinic has stayed in touch since my rhinoplasty, and the support has been solid. The surgeon and the entire staff were wonderful. One piece of advice for future patients: ask the clinic for specific directions on where to go upon arrival. We were dropped at the hospital door from the airport with no information and felt a bit lost. It was a minor issue. Also, be prepared for some small additional expenses for post-op items like medicine and bandages. Overall, the medical care I received was very good.

Anonymous • Botox injections Turkey

Verified review.

The service from both the surgeon and the staff was excellent

The service from both the surgeon and the staff was excellent. My procedure was for Botox injections, specifically targeting only mouth area. The team was professional, and their performance is reflected in the high ratings I gave them. I am still in the early phase of recovery. The amount of product used was a custom number of units, decided upon by the surgeon for my particular case, rather than a standard quantity. The entire process felt very well-managed and organized from a medical standpoint.

Anonymous • Female check-up

Oct 3, 2026

Verified review.

The medical care was excellent

The scope of my female check-up was impressive. The medical care was excellent. I liked the range of tests done and how well the doctor explained the results and next steps to be taken. I also liked the fact that it was easy to add on an additional test because the hospital were able to slot me into the list for the test. The interpreters were very pleasant people, but there were some coordination issues. The interpreter disappeared a couple times leaving me to take tests alone with no help, and on one occasion I had to get hospital staff to locate the interpreter for me. I dont mind being left alone to wait but I felt that when tests were being done, the interpreter should have been there to assist.
