Diagnostics and Evaluation

Proper diagnosis guides the treatment plan. Valued Med Hub Hospitals offers comprehensive neurological assessment. This includes detailed consultations and advanced imaging.

• Neurologist or Neurosurgeon Consultation: The initial evaluation costs around $200.
• Advanced Brain Imaging: A 3 Tesla Brain MRI typically runs $1,000–$1,200. An EEG may cost $200–$400.
• Preliminary Diagnostic Package: A bundled set of essential tests is around $2,500. It streamlines the process for international patients.

Non-Surgical Treatment Option

For some patients, regenerative medicine is an option. This approach focuses on neuroprotection.

• Stem Cell Therapy: This involves stem cell injection. One session may cost around $9,000. The total sessions needed vary per patient.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery

DBS is a leading surgical treatment for Parkinson's. It implants a device to regulate brain signals. Prof. Dr. Sait Ozturk leads these procedures. He has 25 years of experience and over 1,100 complex neurosurgery operations. The surgery uses stereotactic technique for precise electrode placement.

There are two main device options:

• Standard DBS Package: This surgery typically costs between $22,000 and $28,000. It includes the surgeon fee, a Medtronic device, 3–7 days of hospital stay, pre-operative tests, and airport transfers.
• DBS with Rechargeable Battery: This package is around $24,500. It offers an extended battery life up to 18 years. The package includes the same comprehensive hospital and transfer services.

Hospitalization lasts 3–7 days. Initial recovery takes about 2–4 weeks. The rechargeable system provides long-term symptom management. Patients receive battery setting adjustments as part of follow-up care. Explore these specialized treatment pathways with the clinic's neurological team to understand the best individual approach.
