Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best Specialist for Epilepsy Treatment in Turkey?

Look for a board-certified neurologist or neurosurgeon with specialisation in epileptology or refractory seizure disorders. Ideal qualifications include:

  • Expertise in drug-resistant epilepsy, seizure mapping, and surgical intervention
  • Training in video-EEG monitoring, neuroimaging, and neurostimulation therapies
  • Experience with epilepsy surgery (lobectomy, lesionectomy, hemispherectomy, etc.)
  • Access to a multidisciplinary epilepsy team, including neuropsychologists and electrophysiologists
How do I choose the best hospital for Epilepsy Treatment in Turkey?

Choose an epilepsy centre of excellence with capabilities for diagnostic precision, medication trials, and surgery, ideally offering: a comprehensive epilepsy unit (CEU) with video-EEG monitoring, access to 3T MRI, PET, SPECT, and MEG for seizure focus localisation, facilities for neurostimulation devices (VNS, DBS, RNS), and a track record in temporal and extratemporal resective epilepsy surgery. These institutions are internationally accredited and recognised by epilepsy societies for advanced neuro care.

Can I consult with an epilepsy specialist online before I travel, and how can I access their patient reviews?

Yes. MediGence facilitates virtual epilepsy consultations with leading specialists in Turkey. Upload MRI, CT, EEG, seizure logs, and medication history. Explore doctor bios, epilepsy treatment protocols, and surgical success rates. Book a secure video consultation through the MediGence platform.

How long will I need to stay in Turkey for epilepsy evaluation and treatment?

1–3 weeks, depending on whether surgical intervention is planned:

  • Week 1: Video-EEG monitoring, neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing
  • Week 2: Seizure focus mapping and multidisciplinary team review
  • Week 3 (if surgery needed): Craniotomy, laser ablation, or neurostimulation implantation
  • Post-op inpatient care: 3–7 days
  • Outpatient follow-up, medication adjustment, and seizure diary education
  • Return travel once stable, with remote neurologist follow-up arranged
Can International Patients Access Epilepsy Treatment in Turkey?

Yes. Turkey is a global hub for advanced epilepsy care, offering:

  • High-resolution diagnostics and tailored anti-seizure medication (ASM) plans
  • Access to pioneering neurosurgical and neuromodulation treatments
  • Comprehensive epilepsy centres with multilingual services


MediGence provides:

  • Direct referral to epilepsy centers with pre-reviewed treatment plans
  • Coordination for visa, accommodation, and travel
  • Secure digital medical records and long-term follow-up from your country
What qualifications, certifications, and experience does the doctor have for Epilepsy Treatment?

A qualified epilepsy specialist in Turkey typically holds a medical degree, followed by a specialisation in neurology. They may have additional training in epileptology or clinical neurophysiology, with certifications from organisations such as the Turkish Neurological Society and the International League Against Epilepsy. Strong candidates have over 5 years of experience, manage drug-resistant epilepsy, and are skilled in treatments like EEG, VNS, or surgery. Hospital affiliation with a university or epilepsy centre and involvement in research or international training adds credibility.

Can I get a second opinion from another epilepsy specialist in Turkey?

Yes. MediGence allows patients to:

  • Confirm if their seizures are surgically remediable
  • Compare non-surgical vs surgical options (e.g. VNS vs lesionectomy)
  • Evaluate newer therapies, including responsive neurostimulation (RNS)
How can I verify the credibility of an epilepsy specialist in Turkey?

Confirm registration with TMA or ILAE. Review surgical success rates, seizure-free outcomes, and patient testimonials. Ensure the hospital is a recognised epilepsy centre with multidisciplinary review boards.

What should I expect during a teleconsultation for Epilepsy via MediGence?
  • Review your seizure history, medications, and diagnostic tests
  • Interpret EEG and MRI findings, and assess for surgical candidacy
  • Propose a treatment plan—medical, surgical, or neuromodulation
  • Discuss timelines, success rates, cost, and rehab plans in detail
