Bill,
You might also consider UCSF Med Center in San Francisco, where the neurosurgeon is Phillip Starr. The team has a great reputation but I think the wait is several months. Starr and the doctor who does the post-op caliberations are particularly well-regarded.

CHOOSING A SURGEON TO INSERT DBS FOR PD ?
Has anyone have any suggestions, ideas or resources for finding the best
surgeon to install a DBS unit in my head?
I've been told I'll be a good candidate for this procedure. However, as
I begin to look into it I'm finding a lot of newcomers who seem to be
"getting into the business". Even some small hospitals are claiming
competence.
I still have plenty of time but I'm starting to work on it now while
time is still on my side.
Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully accepted.... :=).
ATB, Bill
