I just recently returned from Seattle where I underwent DBS Surgery. It is great and I would recommend it to EVERYONE!!!!! It was a little painful, but I was up and running around within 2 days of both surgeries. I had both surgeries within 1 week. It is awesome. I CAN WRITE MY OWN NAME AGAIN without hardly any tremors. Good luck everyone as I'm leaving DS. Please know that this surgery is the best!

" Dear Wolfman, I am very interested in speaking with you if this would be possible? Have Essential Tremor in both hands and my head. Have been to a hospital in Fla. where they only do one hand at a time. Would prefer having done what you had, both hands. How can we personally speak on the phone? Thanking you in advance for your prompt response. Cordially, I PattiPh "
