Parkinson's disease
My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last year. However, no matter how many hospitals we visited, the medications we were given did not affect the negative process we experienced. I came across a neurosurgeon, Professor Mehmet Burke, on Fox, and I am very happy about it. The medications he gave me worked, the tremors, balance disorders and insomnia decreased. I would like to thank him very much. I would also like to thank Anadolu Health Center for bringing such a good doctor to Turkey.

Spinal Cord Tumor Removal
My father was diagnosed with Spinal cord tumor last year. He was in immense pain, so we decided to seek medical help. Upon searching, we found Dr. Mehmet Caglar, a famous Turkish Neurosurgeon. We booked an appointment with him. He recommended surgery for my father. At first, my father was nervous but the doctor made him comfortable by listening to his concerns and explaining to him the procedure. As expected, the surgery was successful, and my father is coming to normal life. We would like to thank Dr. Mehmet Caglar and Anadolu Medical Center for their excellent medical service.
