Dr. Starr was a likeable care provider. He was able to see my conditions history. He was also very thoughtful and truthful about his explanation of having me consider to be a candidate for DBS. He thoroughly explained to me pros and cons of this procedure. He wanted still to talk about testing genetics and possibly repeat MRI, as he was going to talk to my Primary Neurologist Dr. Marcott. He also suggested to still go ahead with Botox injections under Dr. Galifianakis. All in all, my encounter with Dr. Starr was very pleasant. And I will see him again maybe soon if not later.

It was all good. Since we live about 3 1/2 hrs from San Francisco, I was very glad to have this appointment with Dr Starr on Zoom. I realize that I may have to go to SF to proceed further.
