Patient resources for improving quality of life with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
To go live by December 15th, 2024!
DBS Guidebook by Dr. Richardson: Improving Quality of Life with DBS
The purpose of this book is to introduce you to topics I discuss with patients during our introductory visits, and to introduce you to my team and me.
My own introduction to DBS occurred as a medical student in Virginia, and I’ve been hooked ever since, performing over 500 DBS cases in my practice thus far.
DBS Research Symposium
We held a patient event to better understand what resources
would be valuable for patients before and after DBS surgery.
Pictures coming soon!
