Patient Experience & Approach
Epilepsy patients who suffered seizures for years say Dr. Varindera Paul Singh finally mapped where the seizures were originating from and removed the focus surgically when every drug combination had failed. People whose AVMs were treated with Gamma Knife mention they walked in and walked out the same day without a single cut on the head. Parkinson’s patients say deep brain stimulation gave them control over tremors that tablets couldn’t manage anymore after years of increasing doses.
