As far as I know we have only one surgeon doing DBS in the lower mainland and cannot believe he is here and operating at a 10% success rate.

let me chime in here. Andre Lozano is one of the bestt in the world att DBS. HHe is in Toronto. I know of three people who had a DBS in Vancouver and it was successful. We have two members of my group who rate their surgeries as "9"s on the 1 to 10 scale, they were both done at Vancouver GEneral by Nuerosurgeon Chris Honey.
I too, find it hard to believe, that a 10% success rate would even be tolerated by the "powers that be".
