DBS Conversations - Exploring the Option of DBS (Virtual Event)

This quarter we have a special guest speaker, Dr. Seth Oliveria, MD, PhD. Dr. Oliveria will explain all aspects of DBS and answer questions.

This event is being switched to a virtually only event. Please join us for an in-depth discussion led by Dr. Seth Oliveria, MD, PhD.

This talk will address important questions you may have like: What is DBS? What benefits can I reasonably expect with DBS and what are its limitations? Am I a suitable candidate for DBS? What does DBS surgery involve and what is the recovery process like? How does treatment with DBS evolve as my Parkinson’s progresses and what does the future hold for DBS treatment? Dr. Oliveria will also answer other questions you may have.
