General Info

Our program is the leader in deep brain stimulation treatment in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. In fact, it is one of the most active programs on the entire West Coast. It is the only program in the area that offers DBS to patients with cardiac pacemakers. It also is one of the few approved programs in the U.S. that offers DBS as a treatment for dystonia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. At Swedish, neurologists who specialize in movement disorders and neurosurgeons with expertise in DBS work together to empower patients who are seeking relief from these disabling abnormal movements.
