'This book serves as a fantastic guide for anyone interested in managing DBS. The writing is concise yet effective, extremely thorough, and easy to read. After reading this book, I feel well versed in the field, and I especially enjoyed learning about the principles of neurostimulation, fundamentals in programming the device, and patients best suited for DBS.'
