Gordon H. Baltuch's Online Review Report Card

I've had essential tremor in both hands for 50 years. Medications (Propranolol, Primidone and Xanax) stopped working years ago. I was afraid of DBS because I'm physically very active and didn't want a pacemaker device embedded in my chest. When I became aware of Dr. Gordon Baltuch's revolutionary procedure of MRI focused ultrasound for essential tremor, I booked an appointment right away. Unfortunately, the surgery only works on one hand at a time. The FDA has not yet approved the procedure for the other hand. I have no more tremor at all in my dominant (right) hand. Dr. Baltuch and his staff are amazing. I am forever grateful to Dr. Baltuch for this life altering procedure.

Dr. Baltuch and his amazing team performed DBS on me and it has been a life changer. Before the surgery, I suffered from tremors and had extreme difficulty walking. After DBS, I am now tremor free and I am able to walk with no problems. My quality of life has increased tremendously and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Baltuch, Hanane, Maria, and the rest of his team!

The best doctor, with humble attitude and best communicative skills. Also, in his profession he is considered the top Profesor doctor in the world that brought the medicine to a different superior level for patient care. Congratulations! Thank you very much! Augustin

I had Dr. Baltuch do focused ultrasound to relieve an essential tremor in my right hand. The surgery was a huge success! I had the surgery on Tuesday, and walked out in the late afternoon. I was even able to go out for dinner that night and hold a glass of wine by the stem. Some minor feeling of unsteadiness, that resolved within a few days. The most caring doctor and staff. I couldn't recommend Dr. Baltuch more!

Dr. Baltuch performed DBS on me in May 2022. He did an excellent job of explaining the surgery, its risks and benefits, and his vast experience with the procedure made me comfortable with the decision to proceed. I experienced no complications and am very satisfied with the positive results that I experienced. I would highly recommend him to any Parkinsons patient considering DBS treatment.

Dr. Baltuch did a DBS procedure on me in May 2022. This is brain surgery, so I had lots of questions for him and his team. They were patient and thorough in giving answers, so I felt confident in my decision to proceed. Dr. Baltuch has done more than 1,500 DBS procedures, so he has more experience in DBS than any other neurosurgeon I could find. My procedure went well (no complications) and I am very satisfied with the results. I would recommend him highly to any Parkinson's patient considering DBS.

If you are considering an elective neurosurgical procedure called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), you ought to consult with Dr. Baltuch. He is one of the leading researchers in this area, and is vastly experienced in performing the procedure. I felt confident in my decision to have Dr. Baltuch do my DBS, and I am very satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend him to any Parkinsons patient ...

Dr.Baltuch is a doctor who listened to every concern I had and always responded with answers that were easily related to. One of my major concerns was being able to reach him in the event of an emergency or even a question. Upon me voicing that concern he immediately gave me his cell phone number and told me not to hesitate in reaching out for any reason. His constant positive attitude helped me to go into the surgery with less anxiety then I originally had. After surgery he spent a considerable amount of time explaining to my family how the procedure had gone. The first night I got home after surgery he called just to see how I was doing. The operation was a success and I will be forever grateful. I always felt that he was listening to me and never condescending nor unengaged.
