Please note that there is quite a proven track record of DBS surgeries being done at the California Neuroscience Institute in Oxnard, CA (just south of Santa Barbara and just northwest of Los Angeles). Dr. Ronald Young is the highly respected neurosurgeon and is part of a complete team from movement disorder specialist to DBS programmers to loving hands. Patients from all over the US have found their journey to Oxnard to be worthwhile in determining their candidacy for DBS and then indeed, if they have the procedure itself. Please note that not only does the Institute provide PD management and interventions, it is also a research institute. For more information, please call (805) 988-7599. You may ask for Roberta Rubin, Clinical Supervisor to obtain more information.
