DBS requires a multidisciplinary team for proper evaluation of potential surgical candidates as well as to perform postoperative care. Dr. Klos’ team provides pre-surgical screening including comprehensive clinical exams, cognitive testing, psychological testing, review of imaging, and education. Dr. Klos then refers patients for evaluation and DBS surgery with Dr. Christopher Barry in Oklahoma City. After surgery, Dr. Klos’ team assists with postoperative evaluations and DBS programming. Dr. Klos recommends are possible medication adjustments at the time of DBS programming. Optimal results often involve numerous programming sessions and time. Eventually, the motor symptoms of these various conditions are optimally controlled.
