Three cheers for Dr VanSickle! He has replaced my batteries and had I known about him I would have gone to him for the DBS . I had it done at Vanderbilt University but I had the awake surgery in 2009. I did it in the window so I’ve had the most use of the procedure.
Joni, thanks for sharing your experience. We feel it's very important for people with Parkinson's or essential tremor and their doctors to know that earlier intervention is available and helps patients such as yourself extend their function and quality of life. You are a great example of this. We wish you continued health.
