education, health, fitness · EN-US

Parkinson's meds stopped working like they used to? Tremor making it hard to write, eat, or hold a cup steady? You're not stuck choosing between "wait it out" and "risky brain surgery." Dr. Chengyuan Wu is a board certified neurosurgeon who performs single-day, asleep, robot-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, plus incisionless focused ultrasound for tremor and surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. After 2,500+ surgeries, he breaks down what DBS actually involves, who qualifies, what recovery looks like, and why modern DBS carries a lower 30-day complication rate than a hip or knee replacement. No scare tactics, no "last resort" thinking. Just clear answers so you can make an informed choice about getting your function back. New episodes on Parkinson's, tremor, and epilepsy surgery weekly.
