A specialist in Deep Brain Stimulation, Peter Zahos advances innovative treatment options for patients with movement disorders. Peter Zahos has successfully implanted a series of brain pacemakers into patients forf Deep Brain Stimulation. Brain pacemakers regulate electric activity in the brain, often greatly reducing activity that causes tremors and Parkinson's symptoms.
