Being a Brain Hospital is very important
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, "The brain is a priority area for us" and added, "Being a brain hospital is very important. We established Europe's second brain hospital. In addition to the brain, we also provide services in psychiatry, neurology, psychology and other branches. We are implementing new treatment methods in the field of brain for the first time."
Stating that as NPISTANBUL Hospital, they applied many treatment methods such as sensory integration for the first time, Tarhan said, "I have a military background. There are terminologies that are used a lot in the Armed Forces; 'The commander is responsible not only for the work done, but also for the work not done'. As physicians, we are responsible not only for what is done but also for the treatments that are not done. When a patient comes to us, not only the existing treatments but also other treatment methods should be considered. I acted with this motivation and we continue our work in a way that is open to innovations. We have implemented many innovations with this philosophy."
