Patient Reviews
May 05, 2024
Dr. Viswanathan recently did my DBS surgery. He is such a thoughtful caring doctor. Very easy to talk with. Takes the time to answer any or all of your questions. My surgery went well. I don’t get my generator turned on until MaY 24. Then I will know it was a total successful surgery. I am positive it will be fine. I was not in any pain. The areas on my head were tender to the touch but very little pain. My chest area is still tender where the Generator was implanted. But over all very little discomfort. I highly recommend Dr Viswanathan and his staff.
