Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team
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.
very sensitive, attentive girl Yulia, thank her very much for this!
I liked the doctor, everything was fine, thank you! and the medical coordinator Yulia, on bookimed, very friendly, I felt her support and she was always on the phone until the end of our stay in turkey! very sensitive, attentive girl Yulia, thank her very much for this!
On the 18th he underwent surgery with a vagus nerve stimulator on the 25th and it was connected. Dr Sait has worked wonders. Daytime seizures are very rare but nighttime seizures have changed completely. I am 35 years old and so far only the first connection 0.25 paediatric dose and 5 more connections.
Thank you to the neurologist Dr Yemmir who agreed to treat me. For all my years my encephalogram is finally normal. I am from abroad. I don't live in Istanbul. But I thank the whole clinic, all the doctors, all the interpreters, all the staff.

It all started with Diane, who I'm very grateful I miraculously found. And that's how it came to VNC. I'm very happy
Very large modern clinic, helpful and friendly staff. They provided a transfer from the airport to the hotel and to the hospital. The doctor carefully examined and examined (in my opinion) competently explained everything to us, answered all our questions, prescribed treatment. We liked everything.

Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level
We were at Memorial Ankara on the 27th and 28th of October. The transfer was organised. We were met by Nigora, a member of the international department of the clinic. We saw a neurologist and a cardiologist. We had blood tests, MRI, Doppler, ECG, ECHG, Holter ..... Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level. We are satisfied. Thank God, my dad feels well. He bought all the pills we were prescribed in Ankara.
Everything is for people. The quality of service and knowledge of the medical and nursing staff is at the highest level.
It's all right.
About Bookimed service
I was consulted by the coordinating doctor Lyubov from BUKIMED. She suggested 3 clinics in Istanbul and 1 in Ankara. We decided on Ankara. The organisation of arrival, stay at the clinic and departure to the airport is organised at the right level. I for one am satisfied with BUCIMED. Way to go!!!
"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
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!!!
Clinic 5+. I recommend it to everyone; the service and atmosphere are excellent. Thank you to Doctor Barish Topcular. And a huge thank you to Alisher and Daria for helping me with translation. I didn't know Turkish. I am very grateful to you. Thank you very much.

About Bookimed service
The driving force was the support of the medical coordinator Liana. The transfer and interpreter at the hospital is important.
I do not have a very good impression of the clinic, because we went to do the operation at the agreed price of $ 4000 for the removal of tonsils, on arrival took 200 euros for consultation and said that the operation will cost 5900 euros.Prices are cosmic, it is better to choose another clinic, will be cheaper and not worse result.
I would recommend this clinic and especially the professor to anyone who needs treatment related to trigeminal nerve
I underwent Gamma Knife surgery on my trigeminal nerve at Medical Park Clinic and I would like to express my huge gratitude to all the medical staff and especially to the professor who performed the procedure.
The operation was difficult, as it involved the trigeminal nerve and there was a risk of injury to nearby nerves. However, thanks to the professionalism and high qualifications of the professor, everything went well. He performed the procedure with jewellery precision, minimising possible risks and ensuring an excellent result.
The Medical Park clinic also impressed with its high level of service, attentive attitude to patients and modern technological base. I felt in safe hands from the moment of consultation to the end of the rehabilitation period.
I would recommend this clinic and especially the professor to anyone who needs treatment related to trigeminal nerve. Thank you for your work and care!

There was no communication before we arrived. Did not like the organisation.
About Bookimed service
I wanted to mention the counsellor, Victoria, who was in touch with us. I liked her responsiveness and sincere desire to help, her humanity and empathy. She solved our questions promptly!
The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself
The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself, immediately started talking to the child in her own language, and the child did not understand her, and she took it as if he did not react to her. And she made a diagnosis on this basis. Secondly, there aren't enough interpreters. They're torn between clients,
The professionalism of the doctors is top notch. The availability of modern equipment is attractive. The medical staff is attentive and responsive to patients. Excellent work of the international department in terms of logistics and translators, which allows you to concentrate as much as possible on the diagnosis and communication with doctors. Availability of separate rooms per patient during hospitalization. Ensuring adequate prices for hotel rooms. In simple words: the transfer operates from the airport to the hotel and back, daily to the clinic and back to the hotel. There was always a translator with us at the clinic who took us where we needed to go. We received professional medical care.
In this section I would like to note the excellent work of the translator Ayla. A wonderful young woman who exudes confidence, calmness and positivity.
I wish all translators were like Ayla).
