About clinic
Memorial Ataşehir Hospital opened in 2010 on the Asian side of Istanbul. The 22,000-square-meter building has 143 inpatient beds, 99 outpatient rooms, and 7 modern operating theaters. Each year, approximately 1.6 million patients from 92 countries receive treatment here.
The main specialties of Memorial Ataşehir include cardiac surgery, oncology, organ transplantation, orthopedics, neurosurgery, reproductive surgery, ophthalmology, bariatric, and plastic surgery.
Neurosurgical Procedures
The Neurosurgery Department of Memorial Ataşehir is equipped with a 64-slice CT scanner, 3-Tesla MRI, and angiographic systems for detailed examination of cerebral vessels. More than 1,500 surgeries are performed here annually.
The clinic uses Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. This procedure involves implanting electrodes into specific brain structures to suppress abnormal nerve impulses.
Cancer Treatment
The Oncology Center at Memorial Ataşehir provides diagnosis and treatment for all types of malignant tumors. For early detection, advanced imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, and PET-CT are used.
Memorial offers advanced radiation therapy systems:
- IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) – delivers high doses of radiation directly to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery – a precise, non-invasive method for treating tumors near critical structures (e.g., in the brain) using targeted radiation beams from multiple angles.
- 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy – shapes radiation beams to match the three-dimensional contour of the tumor and surrounding tissues for optimal dose distribution.
Oncologists at Memorial also employ advanced pharmacological treatments, including personalized chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.
Orthopedics and Spine Surgery
The Orthopedic Department performs knee and hip joint replacements (total and partial), arthroscopic surgeries, limb deformity corrections, and ligament reconstruction.
Joint replacement procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques and high-tech implants. Typical hospitalization lasts 1–2 days. Diagnostic tools include MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging.
The department also specializes in spine surgery, including discectomy (herniated disc removal), scoliosis correction, and other spinal deformities. Microsurgical and minimally invasive approaches are applied to reduce recovery time.
Plastic Surgery
Experienced plastic surgeons at Memorial Ataşehir perform a full range of aesthetic procedures, including rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and lift, liposuction, facelift, blepharoplasty, and more. To accelerate tissue healing, the clinic uses advanced methods such as PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma injections), stem cell therapy, and ozone therapy.
Bariatric Surgery
Memorial Ataşehir performs various bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and other modern techniques for obesity treatment. The goal is to achieve significant and lasting weight loss, improving overall health and reducing the risk of related conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
The clinic uses minimally invasive laparoscopic technologies to shorten hospital stays and speed up recovery. A comprehensive support and rehabilitation program is provided, including consultations with dietitians and psychologists to ensure long-term success.
Organ Transplantation
The Transplant Center at Memorial Ataşehir performs liver and kidney transplants from related donors up to the fourth degree. The clinic practices cross-liver transplantation – when incompatible donor-recipient pairs exchange donors. It was the first center in Turkey to perform kidney transplants in newborns and children under 5 years old using micro-instruments.
Post-transplant survival rates for liver and kidney transplants at Memorial Ataşehir exceed global averages, reaching 90%. Across the Memorial network, more than 900 organ and tissue transplant surgeries are performed annually, including 380 kidney and 260 liver transplants. The hospital also offers seamless corneal transplantation (endothelial keratoplasty).

The Experts Medical coordinator will help you arrange an online consultation with a doctor and take care of all stages of your medical trip to Turkey.

Thanks to Ms. Büşra from the Radiology Department, I had a very smooth Coronary CT Angiography procedure. She understands patient psychology very well, is kind, keeps the patient informed at every step, and makes maximum effort to reduce stress to a normal level. I have great respect for professionals who perform their jobs with such dedication. I would like to thank her once again here.

Diagnosis: Multidisciplinary visits
They provide a good service.
— The equipment is new
— the doctors are either English-speaking or communicate through provided interpreters
— tests are done quickly.
One point I would like to note is the communication, both before and after treatment. It can be confusing because everything is mostly organized through interpreters. Given their workload, they are not able to respond in a timely manner.
The prices are global — in the sense that for good service you should expect a corresponding price.
4.5/5, I recommend it.

A review of Memorial Hospital.
The doctors and medical team are truly fantastic people, very kind, sensitive, and empathetic. They treated my daughter with great care and compassion. The doctor visited us daily, constantly making sure everything was fine.
The nurses were absolutely wonderful. My daughter has a phobia of needles, and inserting a cannula is almost impossible due to her tiny, deeply hidden veins. Despite this, the nurses went all out to make the procedure as smooth as possible, and did not hesitate to call for support from the pediatric department.
The room was spacious and had everything needed to feel comfortable. The only downside was the lack of a comfortable sleeping place for the companion. But then again, it is a hospital, not a hotel!
We had the privilege of working with one of the most professional and tactful young interpreters I have ever met. Dorian played a key role in making the experience stress-free.
The organization was flawless, including airport transfers. There were no hidden costs, and everything was transparent.
I wholeheartedly recommend Memorial Hospital! 🏥

Diagnosis: Gastroenterology
I give 3 stars because the service is very fast, the interpreter was very efficient, and the gastroenterologist was fine too. I am not giving 5 stars only because of the prices. Extremely expensive. I can understand 200 euros for a consultation, but a colonoscopy for 2500 euros? And an upper abdominal MRI for 1800 euros? I double-checked prices at a London private hospital, and they are cheaper. People need to know that this hospital in Turkey is not cheap at all. However, the service is excellent and very fast.

Diagnosis: Trauma, orthopedics
Very lucky to find this hospital during a holiday in Istanbul in December. My daughter had an injury and we were looking for a hospital in the Istanbul area. The problem was the language barrier. After searching online we found Memorial. From the moment we entered the hospital, we felt at ease. We were assigned an interpreter, Denis, who was with us from the very start. Then Dr. Hakan, the orthopedist, explained every procedure step by step, making us less worried. The hospital also explained the cost at every stage, so you do not feel burdened. They provided us with all the documents, including an English translation for our insurance. We were just very lucky to have found Memorial. Thank you, Denis, Dr. Hakan and the Memorial staff.

Diagnosis: General surgery
At Memorial Hospital in Atasehir my wife stayed for 5 days. Our doctor, general surgeon Vahit, is an outstanding physician. His assistant nurses Doguhan and Merve are, in my opinion, a super team.
Everything at Memorial is wonderful, but the admission and discharge procedures could not have been more poorly organized. Zero information, zero communication. You need to review this process.
A huge thank you to all the nurses, especially the 8th floor nurses — Zeynep, Samet, Aysun, Yunus.

We had a good experience; our doctor Oray Karacayli is extremely professional. Thanks to the confidence he inspires and his warm approach, my daughter experienced no problems before or after the surgery. The on-duty nurses are also very attentive and caring.
The only issue was that our room had no supplies; after a 3-hour wait we received soap and paper.

Diagnosis: consultations with a pediatrician and mammologist
We visited three times this hospital. Everything was fine. Doctors are professional, they gave reasonable advices on treatment. As foreign patients we had a good experience with the translator at this hospital during the recent appointments with a pediatrician for our baby and a mammalog. Her name is Shapagat. She translated all my questions to doctors and able to explain all medical terms and doctors’ answers in a way that was easy for us to understand. Her informative and understandable communication skills, combined with her professionalism and positive attitude, made our doctor’s visits much more comfortable and stress-free.
Shapagat was easy to communicate with through WhatsApp, making scheduling appointments and asking questions incredibly convenient. She provided excellent support throughout the entire process, and her polite and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and at ease.
We are grateful for her hard work and dedication and will certainly request her services again in the future
