About the clinic
Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a complete program for herniated disk treatment. A range of options is available, from consultations around $200 to advanced endoscopic surgery at about $14,250. The center is Turkey's first JCI-accredited hospital and its spine program is led by a professor with 24 years of specialized experience.
The process begins with precise diagnostics to determine the best approach. Available tests include:
- Biochemical blood analysis (around $180)
- Neurologist and orthopedic surgeon consultations
- Imaging like ultrasound ($220-400) and MRI scans ($500-1,000)
Expert-Led Treatment Options
Prof. Mehmet Aydogan leads the orthopedic spine team. He has performed over 1,100 procedures and holds memberships in major international societies. Patients receive care at a multidisciplinary center with a 4.6 patient rating. Treatment is tailored, with options spanning from non-surgical pain relief to complex reconstruction.
The hospital provides several surgical and procedural solutions:
- Radiofrequency ablation with injections - This non-surgical pain management may cost around $7,100. It helps some patients avoid an operation and typically requires one day of hospitalization.
- Endoscopic discectomy - A minimally invasive surgery through a small incision, it may run around $14,250. Patients usually stay in the hospital for one day.
- Posterior dynamic stabilization - This motion-preserving procedure for the lumbar spine is often priced between $10,000 and $11,200. It includes a 4-5 day hospital stay.
- Spinal fusion surgeries - Options like TLIF or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion provide stabilization. These are more extensive and may cost between $15,000 and $15,500, including several days of hospitalization.
Treatment packages at Memorial Şişli typically cover hospitalization, meals, and interpreter services. This helps simplify the planning process for international patients. The expert team can help determine which approach is most suitable based on a detailed diagnostic evaluation.

**Terrible Experience at This Hospital – Avoid at All Costs!**
I took my mother to this hospital when she was in critical condition with stage 3 cancer. They demanded **$800 upfront** before providing any treatment. We paid, but they didn’t even give her **emergency care**—instead, they sent her back to the hotel. We had no choice but to transfer her to another hospital since they refused to help.
Despite multiple requests, they **never refunded the $800**. For months, they kept making excuses, then **falsified a payment receipt**, claiming they sent the money to my bank account. But the details on the receipt were completely wrong—**not my account number at all**. It’s clear they **stole the money**, likely splitting it among themselves, knowing we couldn’t take legal action after leaving Turkey.
What’s worse, their staff, especially the **head translator "Serdal"**, was extremely rude. When I complained, he just said, *"Go ahead, complain wherever you want—you can’t do anything."* They took advantage of my mother’s suffering, and now that she has passed away, we’ve stopped pursuing it. But I want to warn others: **DO NOT TRUST THIS HOSPITAL.** They are scammers who exploit vulnerable patients.
**Be very careful before going there—learn from our painful experience.
If you notice this post Management You can contact me at this number and I will show and prove everything to you.

Facility: Pristine clean. very well maintained.
Staff members: lethargic and unmotivated. I was there for a surgery and my post-operative pain was unbearable. I did not speak Turkish so I had to use Yandex translator. I asked twice for more painkiller because I felt like being stabbed and choked, but both times they ignored my requests and went back to playing on their phones. I had to go to their desks and demand a better pain killer for the third time and 2 hours of agonizing pain. They just don't seem to pay attention because my translator clearly asked for a painkiller but they responded that I still have to keep my medical dressing on??? I had to call the operating doctor and his personal assistant to get them to actually work.
While I was in my room, there were several kids just running up and down the hallways and nobody seemed to take their parents accountable.

In August 2024, I was on the holiday in Turkey (Izmir) after a little over a week I got really sick and went to the local hospital in Izmir. Unfortunately, as much as they tried to help me and in overall all doctors and staff was amazing. I was told that they could not do much and I needed bigger/ better hospital more specialistic. So, I flew to Istanbul and it turned out that I needed an emergency operation ( I had symptoms in 2023 but in the Uk ultrasound and bloods even tho I know now having a copy of the results were bad they just ignored it cos I was young and nothing to worry according to the Uk NHS) I was operated and it was a really complicated operation, however thanks to Prof Dr Veysel and his amazing team of highly
Skilled doctors I was saved. Stayed at the hospital for 7 days and another few weeks before I could fly back to the Uk. I am still here and I am ok, still I come for check ups to Prof Dr Veysel. I am grateful and there are no words for how thankful I am to All that took part in saving me. GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🫶🫶
