Frequently asked questions

Is it worth travelling to Istanbul to see a neurologist?

For many international patients the benefits are direct communication in their own language, short waiting times and the ability to complete a consultation, tests and treatment in one short trip, with follow-up continuing online.

How far in advance should I book?

Send us your documents one to two weeks before your planned trip if possible. This allows time for a pre-consultation and for tests such as a sleep study to be scheduled.

Can I get an online consultation before deciding?

Yes. After reviewing your documents, a short video pre-consultation can help you decide whether a visit to Istanbul is the right next step.

Is migraine Botox in Istanbul the same protocol used in Europe?

Yes. Migraine Botox follows the internationally recognised PREEMPT protocol with standard injection sites and doses, adjusted to the individual where appropriate.
