Why Doctors Choose Dr. Paresh Doshi for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
When the Hands That Heal Need Healing
Every day, doctors make life-changing decisions for their patients. They rely on years of medical knowledge, clinical judgment, and steady hands to provide the best possible care.
But what happens when a doctor is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease?
For many medical professionals, Parkinson’s is more than a neurological disorder. It threatens the very skills that define their profession: precise hand movements, confident examination of patients, clear communication, and the ability to perform complex procedures.
When these challenges arise, choosing the right neurosurgeon becomes one of the most important decisions of their lives.
Over the years, Dr. Paresh Doshi has had the privilege of treating several doctors and healthcare professionals with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), helping them regain independence, confidence, and in many cases, return to caring for their own patients.
Why This Matters
Doctors understand medicine differently.
When selecting a surgeon, they evaluate far more than reputation alone. They look for:
- Clinical expertise
- Experience in complex DBS procedures
- Personalised treatment planning
- Precision in surgery
- Long-term programming and follow-up
- Multidisciplinary care
- Evidence-based decision-making
For healthcare professionals whose careers depend on fine motor control, every improvement can make a meaningful difference.
Deep Brain Stimulation: Restoring More Than Movement
Deep Brain Stimulation is an advanced surgical treatment for carefully selected patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.
While reducing tremor, stiffness, slowness, and motor fluctuations is important, many professionals hope for something even greater: the opportunity to return to the work they love.
For doctors, that may mean examining patients confidently, writing prescriptions independently, performing procedures, or returning to the operating theatre.
The following stories highlight how personalised DBS has helped medical professionals regain functional independence.
Featured Patient Stories
Dr. Ashok Goyal
Distinguished Pediatric General Surgeon
For decades, Dr. Ashok Goyal built an exceptional career in pediatric surgery, performing numerous complex procedures, including several that were considered pioneering in India.
Approximately nine years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, progressive tremor and declining hand dexterity made it increasingly difficult for him to continue operating. Eventually, he made the difficult decision to stop performing surgeries and limited his practice to outpatient consultations.
In May, Dr. Goyal underwent Deep Brain Stimulation surgery performed by Dr. Paresh Doshi.
Following surgery, he experienced significant improvement in tremor control and hand stability, allowing him to regain confidence in his movements.
Today, Dr. Goyal has resumed outpatient practice and is gradually preparing to return to the operating room, marking an important milestone in his professional journey.
Dr. Pankaj Tyagi
MD, Internal Medicine
Dr. Pankaj Tyagi had been living with Parkinson’s disease for several years before his diagnosis was confirmed in 2023.
His symptoms included:
- Severe tremors
- Dyskinesia
- Motor fluctuations
- Anxiety
- Reduced hand function
The disease progressed to a point where his residents documented clinical notes while he dictated them, making everyday medical practice increasingly challenging.
In July, he underwent Deep Brain Stimulation surgery.
Since the procedure, he has experienced excellent improvement in tremors, dyskinesia, and motor fluctuations.
He now looks forward to independently examining patients, writing clinical notes, and resuming his routine medical responsibilities without assistance.
Dr. Aloke Raha
Pediatric Surgeon | Bangladesh
As Parkinson’s disease progressed, Dr. Aloke Raha developed increasing gait impairment, freezing episodes, and instability while walking.
These symptoms gradually reduced his mobility and affected his confidence in clinical practice.
To address his complex symptom profile, Dr. Paresh Doshi performed an advanced Deep Brain Stimulation procedure involving implantation of bilateral electrodes in both the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) and the Globus Pallidus Internus (GPi), requiring four electrodes in total.
Following surgery and ongoing programming, Dr. Raha demonstrated remarkable improvement.
His gait became significantly more stable, freezing episodes reduced considerably, and he regained the ability to walk independently.
He is now preparing to return fully to pediatric surgical practice.
Dr. Umesh Bhattad
MD (Homoeopathy)
Dr. Umesh Bhattad developed Parkinson’s disease approximately six years before undergoing DBS.
Initially presenting with tremor on one side, his condition gradually progressed to include:
- Bilateral tremors
- Bradykinesia
- Motor fluctuations
- Mild dyskinesia
- Depression
These symptoms increasingly affected both his professional and personal life.
Following Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in July, he experienced substantial improvement in motor symptoms.
With improved symptom control and renewed confidence, Dr. Bhattad has successfully resumed his clinical practice and continues to care for his patients.
A Common Theme Across Every Story
Although every patient’s Parkinson’s journey is unique, these doctors shared several common goals.
They wanted to:
- Continue practising medicine
- Regain confidence in their hands
- Reduce tremor and motor fluctuations
- Improve quality of life
- Return to caring for their patients
- Maintain their independence
For each of them, Deep Brain Stimulation represented more than symptom control. It offered the possibility of returning to the profession they had dedicated their lives to.
Personalised DBS for Every Individual
No two patients experience Parkinson’s disease in the same way.
Every DBS procedure performed by Dr. Paresh Doshi begins with a comprehensive evaluation that considers:
- Symptom profile
- Disease progression
- Medication response
- Lifestyle
- Professional responsibilities
- Functional goals
- Brain imaging
- Neuropsychological assessment
- Overall health
This personalised approach helps ensure that treatment is tailored to each individual’s needs rather than following a standardised pathway.
Beyond Doctors: Helping Professionals Return to Their Careers
The same principles apply to professionals across many fields.
Whether you are a:
- Dentist
- Surgeon
- Physician
- Engineer
- Teacher
- Chartered Accountant
- Lawyer
- Business owner
- IT professional
- Artist
- Musician
Parkinson’s disease can affect both your confidence and your career.
For many individuals, Deep Brain Stimulation offers the opportunity to regain function and continue doing what matters most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can doctors continue practising after DBS surgery?
Many healthcare professionals are able to resume clinical practice after successful DBS and recovery. The timeline depends on the individual’s symptoms, profession, and response to treatment.
Can surgeons perform surgery after DBS?
Some surgeons may return to operating after DBS if their symptoms improve sufficiently and they are medically fit to do so. This decision is individualised and made in consultation with the treating team.
Is DBS only recommended for doctors?
No. DBS is suitable for carefully selected patients from all professions who have Parkinson’s disease or certain other movement disorders.
How is DBS personalised?
Treatment planning considers the patient’s symptoms, goals, profession, medication response, and overall health before recommending surgery.
Does DBS cure Parkinson’s disease?
No. DBS does not cure Parkinson’s disease. However, in appropriately selected patients, it can significantly improve motor symptoms, reduce medication-related complications, and enhance quality of life.
