Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

A brain pacemaker for medication-refractory Parkinson's and tremor: patient selection, millimetric targeting, implantation and programming — all in one center, one team.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

A Joint DBS Board

Candidacy is not decided by the surgeon alone; neurology, neurosurgery and neuropsychology evaluate together.

Targeting with Microelectrode Recording

The target is confirmed not only by imaging but by live cell-activity recording; the electrode lands on the optimal point.

Ownership After the Implant

DBS doesn't end at implantation: programming sessions, medication coordination and rehabilitation continue in the same center.

International Patient Support

End-to-end services including visa, transfer, accommodation and interpreter; programming follow-up supported by tele-medicine.

Transparent, Guaranteed Pricing

The quote — implant, surgery and programming included — is delivered itemized in advance; no surprise costs.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.

My Parkinson’s medication response fluctuated; the device settings were fine-tuned at follow-ups.

Before surgery every step was explained to me; that is where my fear ended.

A diagnosis from another centre changed here after advanced imaging, and so did the treatment path.
