I am a neurosurgeon specialized in movement, seizure, and psychiatric disorders with a lab bridging the gaps in medicine to develop neuromodulatory therapeutics
🏀 Just like Steph Curry’s alley-oop to LeBron James in the Olympics, it takes perfect timing, trust, and teamwork to make magic happen. The same is true in DBS therapy—when neurologists and neurosurgeons work hand-in-hand, we deliver slam dunk outcomes for our patients. 💪🧠
I was great educating patients and their caregivers about Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) and other Neurosurgical options for Parkinson’s at Neuro Fitness Therapy in Wilmington DE today. What an amazing center for physical therapy! #aDBS #DBS #medtronicDBS #PDtherapy
Focused ultrasound for tremor, now offered @Pennsylvania Hospital with anesthesia for those wanting this incredible treatment for tremor without having to experience being awake for an MRI-based procedure.
Can we tune the brain with a pacemaker to improve uncontrollable urges to overeat? Let’s tune in! youtu.be/khdf0l-Ey4I
We are enrolling patients in our deep brain stimulation trial for those with obesity who have struggled despite bariatric surgery.
Hope you can attend to learn a bit about what you can do to treat your tremor!
We see a lot of patients with essential tremor at Pennsylvania Hospital and for a variety of reasons, focused ultrasound, deep brain stimulation, or gamma knife may not be an option for all of them. We completed our first laser thalamotomy yesterday with this magical result!
A little tremor control for the holidays!! The gift that truly keeps on giving;)
Hope you can join us for this educational event on tremor and beyond…
🌟 Celebrating a Milestone at UPenn! 🌟 We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve completed our 600th focused ultrasound case for essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease! 🎉✨
I’d like to thank Carl Wittig and the entire Abbott DBS team for hosting the inaugural DBS Philly at Zahav last night. We look forward to expanding this program to all “DBSPhilliers” including all our friends in Philly, Delaware and southern NJ at the next event in the Fall!

Thank you to Matt Korn, Boston Scientific, and Rock Steady Boxing for hosting this educational event in Bucks Country. I shared details about deep brain stimulation and focused ultrasound with one of the most vibrant Parkinson’s audiences I have ever engaged. Notremorleftbehind!
Thank you to PMD Alliance and MissionPD for inviting me to speak to our friends in the South Jersey Parkinson’s community about many resources that are available to them on their journey. #DBS #nutrition #pennmedicine #tremor #parkinsons #physicaltherapy

“During my residency training at @PennNSG, M. Sean Grady, MD, FAANS repeatedly counseled that residency is intended to teach us how to incorporate innovations in neurosurgery into our practice” says @HalpernC. Read Embracing Innovation: Adapting to New Surgical Technologies:…
