I had my double sided DBS in December of 2005 by a surgeon who had only done one patient on his own before he did me. With the new techniques, such as listening to the brain electrical sounds when placing the implants have improved the surgery by leaps and bounds. In a way the younger surgeons are more excited to use new technology.

Unfortunately, in less than a year, he moved back to Michigan where he received his training. I still have programming available to me.

Love,
