Dr. Papanastassiou, is responsible for my hands to nolonger shake. He did my DBS mid August of this year. When it was activated a month later by Dr. Pablo Coss Neurologist.....my Essential Tremor was 98% gone.He is kind and very personable, his Bedside manner is awsome, he's like talking to an old trusted friend that happens to be a Neurosurgeon. He did the procedure in one day which is the only way to go. He kept me comfortable through the whole procedure. Hes very knowledgeable, Well trained and experienced.
