Hi There my husband had DBS last year, His symptoms were tremor on both sides, slowness and stiffness. We live in SAn Fransisco and went to UCSF medical - great DBS surgeon there named Dr Star. DBS has been incredibly helpful for him, no or minimal tremor now, less stiff and more flexibility. it changed his life for the better ! He said he wishes he got it sooner. He had no complications from it. Let me know if you want to reach him directly hes happy to share his experience. He is 62 and very fit and active.
