I had a thalamotomy 18 month ago. The cost was $16,000. It Totally took care of the tremors on my right side which the sinement could not do. I was taking 10 25/100 per day and still having trouble. I am at the present time appealling to our insurance com. to allow me to have the deep brain stimulator implanted. The cost of this surgury has been estimated around $40,000. I know that the cost varies across the nation from the $16,000 that I paid to over 40,000 I was quoted at another instution.
