What patients say about Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery at Liv Hospital Ulus

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients describe the clinic location and access as highly convenient, with comprehensive support from arrival to departure. Services begin right at the airport with transfers provided. One patient noted everything was included: 'tickets, transfer, transport there, cross-over, accommodation and food.' The clinic handles logistics seamlessly, allowing families to focus on medical care rather than navigation. Another mentioned preferring hotels 'near from the central' for programming visits. Some found meal arrangements for companions required separate payment, though overall coordination remained 'high-quality.' International patients consistently praise the end-to-end travel support.

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.

Are there any hidden or extra costs?

Patient experiences with DBS surgery costs in Turkey reveal mostly transparent pricing, though some encountered additional expenses. One patient noted that while many services were included at no extra charge - 'tickets, transfer, transport, accommodation and food' - they only paid for 'consulting a doctor and procedure for MRI and analytics.' Another mentioned paying separately for meals for their companion, as these weren't automatically covered. One family found the total cost exceeded initial planning, though they felt the 'quality of care and successful outcome made it worthwhile.' Most patients describe the overall value as reasonable given the high standard of medical care received.

We had a very positive experience at the hospital. My father underwent surgery and we are grateful to say it was successful. The doctors and nurses were professional, attentive, and ensured he received excellent care throughout his stay. The hospital facilities were clean and well-organised, and everything went according to plan. The only thing worth mentioning is that the total cost exceeded what we initially planned for, but overall, the quality of care and the successful outcome made it worthwhile. We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team.

How effective are the treatment results?

Patients consistently report successful DBS surgery outcomes in Turkey, with many expressing deep gratitude for life-changing results. One patient was 'very pleased with the results,' while another described their experience as being at 'world level.' Dr. Ali Zirh receives particular praise, with patients calling him 'the best' and noting his precision in both surgery and equipment setup. Some mention the MRI examination rooms were quite cold, though this didn't affect the excellent medical outcomes. The neurological follow-up care also stands out, with patients appreciating the detailed therapy adjustments over several weeks that optimize their treatment results.

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!!!

How comfortable and modern are the clinic facilities?

Patients consistently describe Turkish DBS facilities as impressively modern and comfortable. One called the hospital 'world level,' while another was struck by the 'scale, cleanliness and quality of service.' The facilities feature advanced equipment that patients say isn't available in their home countries. Staff attention to detail stands out—one patient noted how 'our entire stay was reduced to the last detail for our benefit, to feel at home.' Some mentioned the MRI room being quite cold during lengthy procedures, though this didn't overshadow the overall positive experience. Patients describe facilities as 'very clean' and 'well-organised' with professional, attentive staff throughout.

Good afternoon! We are from Kyrgyzstan! We applied to the clinic through the bookimed website. The coordinator Anastasia was very helpful, everything was organised very clearly, we were never disappointed. The clinic itself is impressive in terms of scale, cleanliness and quality of service, the staff is friendly and attentive. Our interpreter Lamia worked with us, coordinated our logistics around the clinic, tried to ensure timely appointments with doctors, she was very comfortable and easy to communicate with. But, there was a moment with the examination: we were referred to MRI, the procedure was quite long, the room was quite cold, so I was very cold. As a recommendation - it would be good to warn patients about the need to maintain a certain temperature regime in this room and somehow provide comfort as much as possible. Overall, we are very satisfied with our visit to this clinic, the patient management tactics and we have a follow-up visit planned in 3 months.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through dedicated interpreter services. Patients describe having 'personal interpreters' who provide comprehensive support, staying with them 'at every step' including in the operating theatre. International patients from countries like Kyrgyzstan found their interpreters 'very comfortable and easy to communicate with,' coordinating logistics and ensuring timely appointments. One patient praised their translator as a 'great person' offering '24/7 support' with direct doctor contact. The medical staff consistently answered questions and addressed concerns, making communication smooth throughout the treatment process.

How supportive and caring is the clinic staff?

Patients consistently describe Turkish clinic staff as exceptionally caring and attentive throughout their DBS journey. One family noted staff 'did not leave for a minute, even in the operating theatre' providing constant support. Another praised how staff were 'responsible and caring' during what they called a worrying time due to their mother's age. Some mentioned room temperature during MRI procedures could be more comfortable, though this didn't diminish their overall satisfaction. Staff attention extends to every detail, with patients feeling 'at home' and describing the experience as 'reduced to the last detail for our benefit.'

Overall, we are very satisfied with our visit to this clinic, the patient management tactics and we have a follow-up visit planned in 3 months.

It was a very pleasant experience. The hospital is very clean and the staff were helpful and professional. The medical workers answered all of our questions and concerns. They followed up with us extensively and ensured our patient’s safety and satisfaction.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through dedicated interpreter services. Patients describe having 'personal interpreters' who provide comprehensive support, staying with them 'at every step' including in the operating theatre. International patients from countries like Kyrgyzstan found their interpreters 'very comfortable and easy to communicate with,' coordinating logistics and ensuring timely appointments. One patient praised their translator as a 'great person' offering '24/7 support' with direct doctor contact. The medical staff consistently answered questions and addressed concerns, making communication smooth throughout the treatment process.

Good afternoon! We are from Kyrgyzstan! We applied to the clinic through the bookimed website. The coordinator Anastasia was very helpful, everything was organised very clearly, we were never disappointed. The clinic itself is impressive in terms of scale, cleanliness and quality of service, the staff is friendly and attentive. Our interpreter Lamia worked with us, coordinated our logistics around the clinic, tried to ensure timely appointments with doctors, she was very comfortable and easy to communicate with. But, there was a moment with the examination: we were referred to MRI, the procedure was quite long, the room was quite cold, so I was very cold.

How supportive and caring is the clinic staff?

Patients consistently describe Turkish clinic staff as exceptionally caring and attentive throughout their DBS journey. One family noted staff 'did not leave for a minute, even in the operating theatre' providing constant support. Another praised how staff were 'responsible and caring' during what they called a worrying time due to their mother's age. Some mentioned room temperature during MRI procedures could be more comfortable, though this didn't diminish their overall satisfaction. Staff attention extends to every detail, with patients feeling 'at home' and describing the experience as 'reduced to the last detail for our benefit.'

We had a very positive experience at the hospital. My father underwent surgery and we are grateful to say it was successful. The doctors and nurses were professional, attentive, and ensured he received excellent care throughout his stay. The hospital facilities were clean and well-organised, and everything went according to plan. The only thing worth mentioning is that the total cost exceeded what we initially planned for, but overall, the quality of care and the successful outcome made it worthwhile. We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team.

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!!!

"I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field!"Categorized statements: About the doctor: "Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come
LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan

The Liv Hospital Clinic confused my diagnosis. Within two hours, I thought I had cancer.  I immediately wrote to them, the answer came in two and a half hours, as they had no time to double-check. During all this time, my family and I went crazy with horror. Now they wrote to me that the translators were wrong. But pituitary adenoma is spelled the same in all languages. A malignant formation of the parotid gland is a completely different diagnosis.

I'll start my review with Bookimed. Indeed, the guys helped a lot, in particular, Anton, Barbara, Nazrin. From the moment I turned to them, they tirelessly contacted me and provided all third-party support. Meeting, doctor's consultation and after. Really guys thank you! We agreed with Anton that we would go for a consultation at Liv Hospital. Special thanks to you. Now for the Liv Hospital itself. We turned to this hospital with an MRI scan - signs of osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine. The central protrusion of the VTh3 - VTh4 disk and vertebral bodies with marginal suspensions, the height of the vertebral bodies is preserved. End plates of vertebral bodies with clear, even contours. In the vertebral bodies Th2 (10mm), Th5 (10mm), Th10 (23mm), Th11 (3mm) and L1 (5mm), round sections with hyper-intense T1 and T2 HI signal characteristics (hemangiomas) are determined. We were prescribed a doctor Chagatai Ozturk. From acquaintances, from reviews and after talking with the doctor, I realized that the doctor is quite a professional in his field. Pros: 1. Modern hospital 2. Attention to the patient is good. 3. Amiable doctor 4. Well done consultants. Cons: 1. Very, well, very expensive treatment in relation to other hospitals in Turkey. For example, Memorial, Azhibadem, Medicana 2. Careful attention to the patient is a maximum of 10-15 minutes. After this time has passed, it seems that the doctor has lost interest in you and begins to engage in others on his computer. (at least I noticed this in relation to us) 3. Does not give other variations of the treatment although this could be given. Since having looked at our MRI remotely, Liv hospital sent us an invoice, we expected that after a live examination, the doctor would offer us other treatment options. 4. The doctor is very honest with the patient. He directly told us that after the operation does not guarantee that we will return to our previous health and will feel like an 18 year old healthy person. I do not know how much this psychologically affects the patient. For example, it negatively affected us or not. 5. We were offered to have an operation the amount of which amounted to $ 23,000 plus treatment and stay in Turkey for 15 days would cost us all this about $ 30,000. For this amount we were offered in Israel and Germany, and in India 3 times cheaper. We asked for a breakdown of this amount, which is included here. Unfortunately, they said they could not give it. I could not understand why. Then we asked to give us a price for hemorrhage vertebroplasty, after a two-day wait they said $ 7,000, although other hospitals asked for $ 3,000- $ 3,500 for vertebroplasty, and after they found out that we would only do vertebroplasty, and we won’t do the spinal surgery, interest our person at the hospital completely disappeared and they did not contact us even though we were there about 10 days after consulting with them. So the next day we went to several other hospitals in Turkey and stayed at the Sisli Momorial Hospital. I want to note that the Memorial is no different from Liv Hospital in terms of modernity and attention to the patient. Doctors are very kind prices are acceptable, the neurosurgeon in whom we were an expert in their field listened without being lazy. We were able to ask him all the questions we were interested in, both during the consultation and after treatment, and he was in contact with us all the time before and after the radio frequency denervation that we had with him. Something like this. All health and goodness

"I recommend the clinic to everyone who is responsible for their health
Hello! Just recently returned from the clinic Liv Hospital. Thanks to the professor, Dr. Oztürk was given an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan. Very attentive staff and doctors, all at the highest level! Special thanks I want to say to the employees of Bookimed. The girls reacted very responsibly, called, clarified. It was very pleasant to work directly in the clinic with Llaala, who organized the hotel accommodation and directly supervised the entire process of my stay in the clinic. I recommend the clinic to everyone who is responsible for their health.

I liked the clinic, but my friends did not like the fact that the clinic did not send a price for a long time. I liked the clinic, I liked the doctors too, in any case there were good moments and bad moments.
