Deep Brain Stimulation Clinic
Deep brain stimulation clinics assist in managing unwanted symptoms in patients with DBS systems for movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia.
What to expect
We perform assessments before surgery and follow-up appointments after surgery. We will adjust the Deep Brain Stimulation system while completing a system safety check during each follow-up visit.
