Some issues Dr. Ryan J. Uitti, MD can help you with:

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a procedure performed to help treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. Electrode leads are surgically implanted in the brain and connected to a device, called a neurostimulator (deep brain stimulator), that is placed underneath the skin (subcutaneously). The deep brain stimulator can send electrical signals through the electrodes to the brain to restore normal rhythms, or it can block electrical signals in specific areas of the brain to restore functioning. Although not a cure, DBS can treat symptoms of movement disorders such as pain and tremor when medication fails to work.

DBS surgery may be completed in one operating session, but it is more commonly performed in two parts. In the first stage of the procedure, the surgeon will map targets in the brain using CT or MRI imaging to determine where to place the electrodes. Then, by drilling holes into the skull, the surgeon will place the electrodes into specific areas in the brain. The holes will be closed, and patients will require 1-2 days to recover in the hospital. After about two weeks, patients will undergo another surgery to have the deep brain stimulator implanted. The stimulator is usually placed under the skin around the collarbone, chest, or abdomen, and it will be connected to the DBS electrodes through a subcutaneous wire. No component of the DBS system will be visible from outside. Following stimulator implantation, patients may need to recover in the hospital for 1-2 days.

Within 2-4 weeks of the operation, doctors will program the stimulator using a wireless device. Patients will work with their doctor to determine the most effective settings for the stimulator during follow-up visits. Patients will be given a handheld device so that they can turn the stimulator on or off and adjust its settings themselves. The stimulator may have a rechargeable battery, in which case patients will be given a charging unit. Stimulator batteries generally need to be replaced in 3-5 years.

I went to the Mayo Clinic looking for answers for my complicated medical situation.  Dr. Uitti was very pleasant and patient with me and my long story.  He determined that I was on a very low dose of one of my medications, and asked me to slowly bump it up and let him know how it goes, one way or the other.  He seems determined to figure out how to help me.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2023-08-04

I was so looking forward to Mayo to hopefully get some answers, whatever they may be. However, I was met with a doctor who was unfamiliar with my chart and seemed to make up his mind of his diagnosis before he even walked into the room. As soon as he heard I have anxiety, he said that was the cause of all my problems and I needed to see a psychiatrist. When we asked about my symptoms that in no way could be related to anxiety (extreme heat intolerance, frequent falls, etc.) and what would cause those he just shrugged his shoulders. He said he would refer me to endocrinology, which he never did. He couldn't wait to rush us out the door. He never asked any follow up questions about any of the problems I mentioned. He also said "if we do testing we are going to find something so I'm not going to do that." I have an abnormal brain MRI and he won't follow up to see if there have been any changes! At this point I feel like this is borderline malpractice. He does not belong in this renowned center of excellence. He and his department should be ashamed of arrogance and gaslighting tactics.
