Having been diagnosed with Parkinsons I was referred to Mr Farah at The Walton Centre with regard to Deep Brain Stimulation. He explained the procedure to me and brought into our consultation other members of the DBS team all of whom would review my suitability for having DBS. Following that review I was given a date for the operation. This was a major step for me and following discussion with the DBS nurse I was put in touch with somebody who had already had the surgery. This was a major factor in accepting having DBS. I attended the Walton Centre and could not have had better reception. All staff including those not part of the DBS team were most helpful and attentive. It is now some 3 yrs. since I had the implant and during that time have had many hours with members of the DBS team making adjustments to my stimulator plus the checkups by Mr Farah on how I am progressing even to the extent arranging a consultation where most members of the team were present plus a rep from the manufacturer of the DBS equipment to resolve an issue with speech versus shakes that I was having I cannot thank Mr Farah the DBS team and the Walton Centre itself enough for all the time spent pre and post op and improving the quality of my life
