Re: DBS surgeons for Dawn

That doesn't necessarily mean he is any better that anyone else but he has been doing id longer so he must know what he is about. Back in 1995 hew did my pallidotomy and it was done well. He also removed an orange sized brain tumor from my daughter's head. And he got it all out. My daughter recovered rather quickly after the surgery.
Dawn: The number of surgeons who do DBS seems to be growing rapidly. This probably has to do with the recent FDA approval (and potential payment ) for this procedure.
I have kept a list of doctors, world wide who do this procedure, entering names whenever I see them.The list is kind of rough, but if you are interested please let me know. It is a measure of the growth rate that I do not have any DBS Surgeons names from the Boston area.
