Pat I had mine done at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla CA in 2003. My neurosurgeon was Dr. Thomas Waltz. Sadly, he died a couple of years ago. Scripps has a great program, I think. I actually had two DBSs. One side was redone as he wasn't happy with placement of electrodes. I haven't gotten my life back, but these procedures have allowed me to exist. And boy was I reminded about a month ago what I'm like without it.
