When patients seek their care from skilled DBS teams, the odds are in your favor to obtain outstanding results from DBS. When results are poor, our DBS team is ready to investigate and take the steps necessary to fix the problem. Our team offers a specialty DBS Troubleshooting Clinic; a unique intensive 3 or 4 day clinic serving patients locally, nationally and internationally. Since opening their clinic in Denver Colorado, Sierra and Dr. Giroux have seen almost 100 patients that have failed DBS or have bothersome unexpected side effects. Their ability to restore both function and optimize stimulation has been excellent for patients that have lost hope and lost faith in DBS. When programming cannot provide the results we expect, re-operation by Dr. Adam Hebb may be the next step. Before re-operation is considered, a very thorough neurology and neurosurgical evaluation is completed to make sure surgery is the logical and safe option. These highly skilled DBS experts formed a strong and powerful collaboration in Seattle in 2007, moved their clinics to Denver and continue to solve and undo some of the most challenging DBS failures. Read powerful stories that illustrate how this team works together to fix dire situations. centerformovement.org/personal-stories/
