THEY “BREACHED THE WALL”
There often is a wall between the neurosurgeon and the neurologist in Deep Brain Stimulation procedures. But there has been no wall between Dr. Kelly Foote & Dr. Michael Okun or between our other neurologists and the neurosurgeon. Our team was featured in an article in Smithsonian Magazine.
