Transforming Lives

I had the DBS surgery with Dr. Smith and it completely changed my life. I very rarely have seizures now and can spend time with my husband, play with my children, travel, and do all the things I love without fear or medication side effects.

Interning at the same institution that saved my life felt like a full-circle moment. It gave me such a sense of purpose knowing that I was researching solutions and contributing to treatments for future patients with the same condition that I had.

I remember asking Dr. Snyder why she liked being a spine surgeon, and she told me that she liked seeing people get their lives back. I can proudly say that I’ve done that to the fullest.

Thanks to Barrow, I’m still here, I’m still me, and I still have a lot to look forward to in life. I could not be more grateful for that opportunity.

I no longer put off planning for the future because I know I have a long, bright one ahead of me. I have Dr. Lawton and everyone at Barrow who cared for me to thank for that.

I have hope now. Not just for myself, but for my children, grandchildren, and everyone else who may one day receive a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
