Dr Sait has worked wonders
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.

The professionalism of the doctors is top notch
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).

Hello. We did not visit the clinic, we had a Skype conference on 05/30/19, at which Dr. A. Russi, through an interpreter, told his vision of the problem of epilepsy in children, ordered additional tests to adjust the dose of the drug (which was prescribed by Ukrainian doctors) and the purpose of treatment, assured accompanied by treatment for six months. We sent the test results on 01.06.19, today 06.06.19 treatment is not prescribed. Our questions came the answer that the doctor advises once a week and it is not clear what day. We hope that the answer will come, the child will recover, but so far the sediment is not very good. If the same attitude is right in the clinic, then there is no point in going there

- "My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time
On January 21, we arrived at the Teknon clinic late at night, which pleasantly surprised us without any problems settled in the ward and the examination began in the morning. The clinic impressed us. The medical staff was incredibly polite and friendly. Everything, two days of examinations passed easily and naturally. Many thanks to the international department, Irina, who was in touch with us even at night, Olesya, who led us from September to January and reacted and responded to all my letters. Maria, who monitored all the sensors and indications during the examination and of course Dr. Antonio Russi! During the first 10 years of treatment of epilepsy, I heard a phrase from which all doctors fended off, as in Ukraine as in Russia. Need to find the CAUSE of epilepsy! It plays a crucial role in the selection of treatment. It is also worth noting that the participation of these wonderful people in the acquisition of essential drugs in Spain (we just brought them to the house) My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time. And something tells me that we will meet with you next year) once again, many thanks to all those who were next to us, Irina, Olesya, Maria, Kirill (thanks for calling back September and introduced us to the doctor in Kiev) and of course a special thanks and kowtow to Dr. Antonio Russi.

All You Need to Know about Epilepsy

What does determine the epilepsy treatment cost?

The epilepsy treatment cost depends on what therapeutic method a patient will undergo — medication therapy or surgery.

Before prescribing the therapy, an epileptologist carry out a complete examination of a patient. For example, specialists in the Teknon Epilepsy Institute provide electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring for 3 days.

During the procedure, a patient receives antiepileptic drugs. The doctor can immediately track the effect of drugs on the brain, replace it or adjust the dose. If the drugs do not work, an epileptologist send a patient for the surgery.

What method of epilepsy treatment cost higher?

70% of people with epilepsy receive medication treatments. The medication treatment cost is rather lower than surgery, because there is no intervention. However, a patient have to buy the drugs after they run out.

What does the epilepsy surgery cost depend on?

The epilepsy surgery cost depends on:

  • type of surgery
  • kind of technology
  • location of clinic
  • experience of a surgeon.

What does affect the epilepsy surgery cost most of all?

What is the epilepsy surgery cost? — one of the most crucial questions for people requiring this treatment option.

The exact price for operation varies in different countries and medical facilities. The average cost depends on:

  • price policy within the state
  • hospital brand recognition
  • neurosurgeon's experience
  • volume and complexity of surgery.

Except for these factors, some additional aspects may increase or reduce the epilepsy treatment cost. Among them is the type of ward, meals, interpreter service, etc. Each patient may agree or refuse these services.
