Neurology Consultation and Second Opinion
Specialist assessment and a second opinion for brain, spinal cord and nerve conditions.
At New City Clinic, Neurology Consultation and Second Opinion is performed in Istanbul by specialist physicians at partner hospitals licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Neurology Consultation and Second Opinion in Istanbul: overview
A neurology consultation looks for the cause of symptoms such as headache, dizziness, numbness, weakness, memory problems, tremor, seizures and sleep problems. After the examination, an MRI, EEG, EMG or sleep study is planned where needed. If you already have test results, a second opinion can be given from the reports and images you send before you travel.
Who is it for?
A neurology consultation suits anyone with headaches that have changed or become frequent, dizziness, numbness or tingling, weakness, memory problems, tremor, seizures or sleep problems, and anyone who wants a second opinion on a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Recovery
Most consultations and tests are outpatient, so you can return to daily life the same day. A sleep study and long video-EEG recordings involve a night in hospital.
What you should know
- Most tests are painless; needle EMG can cause brief mild discomfort
- You may feel tired after a sleep-deprived EEG; do not drive that day
- In an emergency such as sudden weakness, slurred speech or a seizure, go to your nearest emergency department
Every medical procedure carries risk. Your physician will explain the risks specific to you during your examination.

Recordings are made by an electroneurophysiology technician; they are reviewed and reported by a neurologist.
