What patients say about Parkinson's disease at Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients highlight the comprehensive travel support provided by Turkish clinics, with services described as seamless from arrival to departure. One patient noted everything was handled 'from the airport,' with transfers, accommodation, and meals all coordinated. Another mentioned they only paid for medical consultations while logistics were 'beskoshtovno' (free). Some preferred staying at hotels in town rather than clinic accommodations for easier access to the city center. The overall experience shows clinics take care of international patients with well-organized travel arrangements that remove stress from the medical journey.

I express my gratitude for your support and help. The clinic provided high-quality services starting from the airport. The doctor and all the staff are responsible and caring. We were very worried about the operation because of my mother’s age, but everything went well. I thank bookimed for recommending this particular clinic.

How effective are the treatment results?

Patients report excellent outcomes with DBS operations, describing results as transformative for Parkinson's symptoms. Dr. Ali Zirh receives consistent praise as 'the best' with patients noting his precision in both surgery and equipment setup. One family expressed amazement that such advanced procedures were possible, calling the hospital care 'world level.' The 21-day therapy regulation process gets special mention, with neurologist Dr. Basak helping fine-tune exact impulses and medication. Families describe feeling completely supported throughout treatment, with results exceeding expectations and no regrets about choosing Turkey for this complex procedure.

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.

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!!!

Very good coordination, everything went as planned.

How experienced and professional are the doctors?

Patients consistently describe Turkish doctors as highly skilled professionals who deliver exceptional care. Dr. Ali Zirh stands out repeatedly, with one patient calling him an 'absolute professional' who is 'precise, clear, concrete and above all very human.' Another noted that such advanced DBS operations 'can't be imagined' being performed elsewhere due to the expertise required. The neurologists receive particular praise for their thoroughness in assessment and treatment planning. Some mentioned initial coordination delays, though the medical expertise remained outstanding throughout. Patients feel genuinely supported by doctors who combine technical mastery with compassionate care.

How comfortable and modern are the clinic facilities?

Patients describe the facilities as impressively modern and well-equipped for complex procedures like DBS surgery. One noted they 'can't imagine that such an operation can be done' elsewhere due to equipment limitations. The hospital wards are called 'super' with accommodations that make patients 'feel at home.' Another described the overall experience as being at 'world level' standards.

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted
The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

He actually sketched out the future shape of my beard and showed me photos of his previous work, which immediately cleared up any doubts I had
What gave me the most confidence was the conversation I had with the doctor before the procedure. He didn’t just listen; he actually sketched out the future shape of my beard and showed me photos of his previous work, which immediately cleared up any doubts I had. The doctor personally carried out the entire transplant procedure, transplanting 2,000–3,000 grafts using the DHI method. Now, whilst I’m recovering, I feel better than I expected. The support from the clinic is a great help: they’re always available, take an active interest in how I’m feeling, and provided clear aftercare instructions. There were no hidden charges. If you’re planning to have the procedure, bear in mind that you don’t need to bring anything special with you; they’ll provide everything you need on the day.
Everything was brilliant, the staff were brilliant, and the doctor was a real charmer! As it turned out, the person accompanying me actually had a shared history with my home town. Everything was top-notch! And the most important lesson I learnt was how skilfully they sold me their service! As we work in the service sector, this is an invaluable lesson.

Everything went smoothly
My consultation with the surgeon was clearly. He was very honest about the level of breathing improvement I could expect, which I appreciated, and it was reassuring that he personally handled both the initial meeting and my septoplasty with rhinoplasty. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but I'm feeling better than expected. The procedure was done under general anesthesia. The support afterward has been solid; the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide and the staff has always been easy to reach. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond what was quoted. Everything went smoothly.
Everything was beyond expectation, from the online support until the day we came back was everything great, no worries about anything, the staff was lovely, the doctor make you feel very comfortable with everything, and translators were really kind. Felt very safe every step of the way.

I would absolutely recommend this clinic
What worried me most was how I'd manage the recovery, especially the no-sitting rule. It's a challenge. Finding a comfortable sleeping position has been the hardest part so far. My projection already looks good, although it is still quite swollen. The areas where they performed the VASER lipo feel lumpy and hard, which I understand is part of the early healing process. Despite the discomforts of recovery, the surgeon and the entire staff were supportive and professional, which made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend this clinic.
Staff are friendly and the clinic was professionally clean and the nurses were friendly always at your service when you need them everything was properly organised from airport transport to hospital I loved the clinic it was very comfortable wouldn’t mind staying there throughout my recovery,the doctor was friendly always coming to check on you.
The clinic food 2/5 Mayb because I’m not used to Turkish cuisine I ate fruits most of the time.

The doctor is brilliant; he did everything to the highest standard
Everything was quick and efficient. There was a mix-up with my tickets, so I arrived a day early; they arranged a hotel for me, and the price we’d originally agreed on didn’t change. The doctor is brilliant; he did everything to the highest standard. I’m still in the recovery process, but it’s already clear that the result is fantastic. Thanks to Olesya, the interpreter, for her promptness, even outside working hours.

What really stood out was my surgeon
What really stood out was my surgeon. He did the consultation and markings personally, which was a very reassuring start to my bilateral arm lift procedure. It was a lift only, with no liposuction. I'm still early in my recovery, and so far, I'm feeling about as expected. The staff and clinic were excellent, and importantly, there were no additional expenses on top of the quoted price. It's too early for me to say much about the aftercare support. My one major piece of advice for future patients: take snacks. The food was mostly the same everyday, not great, and included what must be the worst soup I have ever tasted.
Ismael was there for any questions and got back to me quickly.
a little more information on what is going to happen and when more informed without having to ask.

Overall I strongly reccomend the Doctor and the clinic!
I am happy enough with the decision I made in regard to the clinic. The proccess was professional, smooth and clear, which is what matters. The doctor did a very good job, and I thank him a lot! Coordinator, his name Ismail, was also very helpful, kind and professional, I also had a driver everywhere I needed to go. Bookimed also did their job very well. My only concern is that the nurses and the rest of the staff in the clinic don't really speak english, some not at all, but we used Google Translate so it wasn't a strong barrier. Overall I strongly reccomend the Doctor and the clinic!
Coordinator was awesome, very helpful. Very good english, very clear about everything. The proccess was smooth and quick. The doctor did an awesome job and I really thank him for that. I had a driver with me everywhere which was also very nice! Overall a very good impression!
The nurses and personal from the clinic don't speak english at comunication level, but it's not so bad.

It was great experience
It was great experience. Just few constructive comments: it would be great if patient is informed that from the moment they’re picked up from the airport, they will go directly to hospital and get all the checks. So, they can prepare to not eat or drink anything in advance, and take proper showers before getting the equipment installed in their body. Also, if patient is informed properly about the possible payments method 1-2 weeks in advance, would be helpful. Other thing, to inform about possible medications or tools which the patients need to purchase after surgery. So, if they already have the similar ones, they can bring it themselves.

The surgeon was fantastic (a clear 5/5)
I was most anxious about the recovery, especially after my first surgery and knowing this revision involved a capsulectomy.I was so relieved. This whole process has been much easier. The surgeon was fantastic (a clear 5/5), and the new implants already feel so much more natural than the ones I had for just a few years. The clinic itself is a modern, comfortable space. My overall rating is a 4 because there were some minor communication issues with the staff, but it wasn't anything that would stop me from recommending the clinic based on the surgical care I received. All my previous symptoms are gone.

The surgeon and staff were excellent throughout my tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction journey
If you're considering a mommy makeover, my biggest piece of advice would be to find a team you feel completely comfortable with. That’s what I found here. The surgeon and staff were excellent throughout my tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction journey. I'm still in the early stages of recovery, and while standing up straight is a real challenge, my tummy tuck incision is already healing very cleanly. Things are going well. The support from everyone at the clinic has been consistent and reassuring, which has made all the difference in this process.
The whole experience was seamless. The doctors, nurses and interpreter made the process so simple for me.
The food at the hospital wasn’t great. I had said I was vegetarian but there was meat in pretty much all meals.
