Care and Treatment
Expertise
A trusted source for neurosurgical procedures. Our team has performed more than 600 DBS procedures since 1999. Jaimie Henderson, MD, and Helen Bronte-Stewart, MD, are world-renowned experts in image-guided surgery for functional neurosurgical procedures. They are currently researching new or improved treatments for Parkinson's disease, pain, psychiatric disorders, and epilepsy.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures are done using leading-edge techniques developed by Stanford researchers, including a frameless approach, which increases your comfort during surgery. Our multispecialty, team-based approach to DBS lead placement uses precise targeting for stimulation and identifies structures to avoid. This technique maximizes your outcome after surgery.
(April 20, 2010) Helen Bronte-Stewart discusses human movement and Parkinson's disease, providing details about the neurological activity behind human action.
During the final quarter of the Stanford Mini Med School, some of the most timely and important topics in contemporary medicine and the biosciences are addressed.
Stanford Mini Med School is a series arranged and directed by Stanford's School of Medicine and presented by the Stanford Continuing Studies program.
