006 Open Your Mind to DBS Part 2

/ By / 1 Comment

In this episode of The Parkinson’s Experience podcast, we continue our discussion on Opening Your Mind to DBS or Deep Brain Stimulation. In Part 1, a leading Movement Disorder Specialist discussed how DBS is a standard of care as well as who should consider it and why.  In Part 2, we speak with one of the top neurosurgeons in the country to help us understand the surgery and devices. We also hear from two more PD patients and their inspiring stories of how DBS transformed their lives.

Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise, a directional system Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS device. Boston Scientific is dedicated to transforming lives through meaningful innovation.

    Excellent as they all have bee. Dr. Ponce is a gem! He explains everything so clearly and concisely. He was the correct person to get for this.

    Sheryl, you are remarkable and doing an incredible service for those of us with Parkinson’s. None os this was available 20 years ago when I was diagnosed – it is so wonderful for people to know that they are not alone in this journey. Thank you.
