Merkez Prime Hospital: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Kocaeli
Merkez Prime Hospital is a multi-specialty medical center in Gebze, Turkey. Part of the Merkez Health Group, the institution has served the region since 1994. It opened its modern 14-story building in 2020. The facility covers 27,000 m² and runs 60 outpatient clinics alongside 7 surgery rooms.

Quality Standards and Infrastructure

The hospital holds several international certifications:

  • Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation
  • ISO 9001 Quality Management System
  • ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
  • ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety

Operating rooms use Laminar Flow ventilation and HEPA filters to prevent infections. The surgical block runs 24 hours a day. Backup generators and UPS systems keep power uninterrupted.

Neurosurgery and Brain Care

The Neurosurgery Unit focuses on complex brain tumor removals using microsurgery. Surgeons work with a high-resolution microscope to operate on delicate neural structures. To protect brain function, the team relies on real-time technologies:

  • Intraoperative Ultrasound for live imaging during surgery
  • Neuronavigation for precise tumor localization
  • Neuromonitoring to track nerve signals and prevent damage

Diagnosis and planning use a dedicated suite with 1.5 Tesla MRI, 3D CT, and CT angiography.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The plastic surgery department performs aesthetic and corrective procedures for the face and body. Specialists offer Full Facelifts that address the mid-face, lower face, and neck at once. Method selection depends on skin condition and facial bone structure.

Body contouring options include:

  • Rhinoplasty for nasal reshaping
  • Breast lift and breast prosthesis placement
  • Arm tuck surgery to remove excess tissue
  • Microsurgery for nerve and vein repair after injuries

The Microsurgery Clinic also treats congenital conditions and reconstructs body parts affected by accidents.

Specialized Medical Services

The Ophthalmology Clinic offers vision correction services, including ReLEx SMILE and LASIK laser eye surgery. Cataract patients receive intraocular lens replacements. Recovery is quick – most go home after a few hours of observation.

In the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit, Dr. Gokpinar Kutahyalidir brings 17 years of experience. The unit treats spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and post-stroke movement problems. Treatment plans combine medication with personalized exercise routines.

The Gynecology and Obstetrics department offers water birth and painless epidural delivery. Op. Dr. Pelin San, trained at Dokuz Eylul University, leads pregnancy follow-ups and deliveries.

Diagnostics and Technology

The hospital runs a full radiology unit and a microbiology laboratory. Imaging includes digital fluoroscopy, mammography, and C-Arm for surgical support. The lab performs PCR testing, antibiotic susceptibility research, and rapid tuberculosis cultures.

International Patient Services

Merkez Prime Hospital supports international guests with dedicated medical tourism services. The building has a helicopter platform for direct transfers from international airports. Staff speak English, Russian, Arabic, and German.

Patient rooms come in standard, suite, and VIP options. Every room has a private bathroom, television, and wireless internet. The 1,400 m² Healthy Life Center offers a Turkish bath, sauna, jacuzzi, and massage rooms for recovery.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Yakup Duman and his entire team for the exceptional care, professionalism, and kindness they showed throughout my treatment.

I came to Turkey with my mother, who underwent a full face and neck lifting, upper blepharoplasty, and lip lift, and the whole experience has been absolutely incredible. Dr. Yakup Duman was extremely professional, talented, attentive and kind, always focused on every detail and on my mother’s request. The result honestly exceeded all our expectations — his work is truly amazing. His assistant Ibrahim was also very helpful and kind, always ready to assist with anything we needed. A special thanks goes to Pinar, who supported us in Italian throughout the whole process — from our first messages on WhatsApp to the moment we arrived at the hospital. She was simply wonderful, always present and caring step by step. The hospital itself is an outstanding facility — spotlessly clean, modern, and organized like a 5-star hotel. We felt cared for and safe at all times. We’re extremely happy with the entire experience and will definitely come back soon!

I contacted Merkez Sağlık Grubu via WhatsApp to ask for the price and earliest appointment for an urgent non-contrast lumbar MRI. I clearly explained that the situation was urgent, the pain was radiating into my leg and foot, and that I had a flight the next day. They repeatedly told me that my request had been forwarded to the department and that someone would contact me, but I never received any actual information — no price, no appointment time, and not even a direct phone number for the radiology department. I waited from 2 PM, followed up again in the evening and the next morning, and still only received generic responses with no real help. Very poor communication for a medical center, especially when a patient urgently needs imaging. I wasted a lot of time and got no useful information at all.
