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.

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.

I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural, but I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy. The recovery process itself isn’t easy: my nose is completely blocked, and there’s still severe swelling on the bridge, so the final result isn’t visible yet. But the main thing is that the noticeable bump that was bothering me has been removed. The surgeon and the clinic staff provided excellent support at every stage. For me, it was the right choice.
Everything was great)

It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable
My biggest concern before my upper and lower eyelid surgery was how my eyes would actually feel afterwards, especially when blinking. It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable. The whole process has been so straightforward. The surgeon opted for a traditional incision and removed fat, and the results are already taking shape even as I'm still healing. Everyone was wonderful. The staff and the clinic provided a very reassuring atmosphere from start to finish. Based on my experience, I would definitely return to this clinic for any future needs.
Everything about my experience was outstanding. From initial contact with my co-ordinator, Winnington, to the last transfer to the airport was fantastic. The surgeon and staff really exceeded my expectations. The language barrier was no problem with the translator, Ishmail, or Google translate. The hotel i stayed in, nearport hotel, was great, with everything you need right on the doorstep. Room service was great. Dr Murat Yaman was excellent. Absolutely a great experience and already considering a dpfl.
The hospital meals could be a bit better, but it was definitely edible.

Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight
What worried me most before my full tummy tuck was the end result. Would my tummy look natural? My fears turned out to be unfounded. Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight. The surgeon performed the procedure with a navel repositioning, and everything looks very neat. Recovery is, of course, a process. The biggest difficulty at this stage is standing up straight. It takes time. But I am completely satisfied with the work of the surgeon, the staff and the organisation at the clinic.

Based on my journey so far, I would absolutely point a friend in this clinic's direction
If you're considering a discectomy/lumbar fusion and wondering where to go, I can speak to my experience here. The entire team deserves a 5/5 rating. Truly. From the surgeon's clear communication to the attentive staff, I felt I was in good hands throughout the entire process. The clinic environment itself was also comfortable and well-run. I’m still in the early phase of recovery, but the confidence I have in the care I received makes a huge difference. Based on my journey so far, I would absolutely point a friend in this clinic's direction. It was the right choice for me.

Based on my experience, I'd give this clinic a 10 for a recommendation
If you're considering this procedure, I found the process here to be very straightforward. The surgeon used bipolar cautery for the tubal ligation, leaving me with just three small holes that are all healing cleanly. It was a relief. The initial abdominal bloating went away completely, which was my main physical discomfort. My biggest recovery challenge has honestly been the fatigue that lingers, so be prepared to take it easy for a bit longer than you might think. The surgeon and staff were competent and professional. Based on my experience, I'd give this clinic a 10 for a recommendation.
The coordinator was very helpful, staff were knowledgeable and attentive, care was to a high standard.

Sleeping is getting better every day, which is very pleasing
There is some discomfort after the operation, but the pain is mild and quite bearable. I had implants placed under the muscle via an incision beneath the breast, and I’m gradually getting used to the new sensations, including a slight numbness around the nipples, which is perfectly normal at this stage. I can already see the results. Sleeping is getting better every day, which is very pleasing. My main advice to other girls who are just planning to have the operation is: don’t be afraid, because beauty requires sacrifice.
Everything from start to finish, as instructed at the clinic and right up until departure)

My arms are already moving freely, which is a huge relief
What worried me most before the operation was the recovery process, specifically how stiff my arms would feel. I was afraid of losing mobility. Now, at this early stage, I’m pleasantly surprised by the results. My arms are already moving freely, which is a huge relief. Of course, the incisions are still visible, but the scars themselves are healing well. The surgeon and the entire clinic staff were very attentive and supportive every step of the way, from the consultation right through to the procedure itself. Everything went smoothly.
Well done! The staff are warm, helpful, understanding and professional. With our heartfelt thanks ❤️

Even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before
The surgeon really did take my wishes on board. I had open rhinoplasty to remove a small bump, and even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before. Of course, recovery is a process. It’s still very early days, and I can see that one side of the bridge of my nose is uneven due to swelling, which is a bit worrying. The staff were generally helpful, although there were occasional minor delays in communication. My main advice to anyone preparing for surgery is to be patient during the recovery period and remember that the final result takes time.

I’m glad I went forward
It was my second surgery could truly, and I didn't. know if it fixes the functional issues from my first. I’m glad I went forward. The surgeon used a rib cartilage graft to correct my breathing problems, and my nasal bridge already has a straighter profile. The team and clinic were solid. That said, the recovery is not easy. My nose tip is still very swollen, and the constant mouth breathing has been my biggest challenge so far. The one thing I wish I had really understood beforehand is just how much longer and more painful the healing process can be for a revision. It's a serious commitment.
I'm sooo happy with the results!!!
