Is DBS good idea while PD still moderate?

Age 75, diagnosed 5 years ago. Score 41 out of 199 in UPDRS test. Went to new PD doc (old one moved) who said that even though my motor symptoms are still moderate and on one side, I would be good candidate for DBS. I thought that treatment was reserved for people in later stages. Anyone have any insight on this?
