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.
