Ali Zırh is an assistant professor of neurosurgery and a specialist in the surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Parkinsonism and other movement disorders. The doctor works in the Department of Brain and Nerve Surgery at the Medipol University Hospital.

The doctor has over 30 years of experience in functional neurosurgery. During his practice, has performed more than 1,000 deep brain stimulation procedures and 1,500 surgeries to help patients with Parkinson’s disease overcome tremor.

Dr. Ali Zırh specializes in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. The doctor treats conditions such as:

• Parkinson’s disease;
• Epilepsy;
• Parkinson’s syndrome (tremor) in other neurological diseases;
• Dystonia;
• Tic disorder;
• Chorea;
• Huntington’s disease;
• Cerebral palsy in children (cerebral palsy).

The surgeries are minimally traumatic and are performed through small holes in the cranium. This allows rapid rehabilitation and a return to the way of life after a short period of time.
