Dr İsmail — Istanbul

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is the centerpiece of Dr. İsmail Şimşek’s neurosurgical practice at the Neuromodulation Center, with specific indications that include Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. Alongside functional neurosurgery, his work extends to epilepsy surgery, where Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is part of the treatment approach. He also focuses on surgical management of both pediatric and adult brain tumors, and he provides spinal surgery for degenerative conditions and spinal cord injury-related problems. For patients traveling internationally, this combination matters because it keeps related neurological pathways under one specialist team—movement disorders, epilepsy, tumors, and spine conditions—while still centering neuromodulation when it fits. The clinic also describes diagnostic support using 3.0T Brain MRI. In parallel, his pain management practice is described as using innovative neuromodulation techniques for chronic pain disorders.
