I want to have this surgery but need some encouragement and facts. Anyone hear good things about the team at the Toronto Western?

Two words for you "Andres Lozano". One of the top ten surgeons anywhere! He is in Toronto.
NO one that I am aware of has a DBS of the STN and PPN. YOu either get o-one or the other. The PPN target( For balance and gait) is still experimental as far as I know.
My group is a wealth of info and support, it is at:
