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:

Thank you Charlie. I joined last night and am familiarizing myself with maneuvering it. Dr. Lozano is the one that will be performing the surgery.
