I was diagnosed with parkinson's disease August 2009 & was referred to The Walton Centre for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) assessment in October 2018. This assessment was completed approx. 12 months later, after which Dr Bonello recommended me for DBS & referred me to Mr Jibril Osman-Farah. At my first appointment, Mr Farah explained the DBS procedure & associated risks. Mr Farah was very approachable and answered all of my questions & concerns. He offered me the opportunity to consider if I wanted to go ahead with the DBS procedure but I felt confident in deciding to go ahead. My DBS procedure was completed January 2020 & I was 'switched on' approx. 5 weeks later. Whilst part of the surgery (implantation of the directional leads) was carried out whilst conscious I felt totally confident throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Farah (and the rest of his team) & am very grateful for the care I was given throughout.
