Dr Phillip Starr, did my DBS Deep Brain Surgery. On October 10 2017. I never got the chance to tell him that his magical knowledge and hands, really helped my Orthostatic Tremors. I was his 5th pt he did the DBS on and when I moved to Carlsbad Ca -San Diego area. Dr Jennifer OH, my neurologist was able to adjust my defibrillator's to work on the correct part of my brain so I no longer have the embarrassment of my orthostatic tremors. Thank you Dr Starr and Dr Oh. Carol Whitsett
Dr Starr did DBS on me in Oct 2017. He was so nice and personable. I didn't think the surgery worked for my Orthostatic Tremors but when I moved to Carlsbad, CA, I found Dr Jennifer Oh and she was able to find the right spot in my brain to have my pacemakers work, so my Orthostatic tremors were no longer an issue. It has been over 5 years so the batteries were dying so Neurosurgeon Sharona Ben-Haim at Scripps in LaJolla, Ca just did surgery on me to replace the batteries and Briana Tawa the Medtronic Specialist who worked wi... read more
I saw Dr. Starr. For a Deep Brain Stimulation procedure. Earle to you have doctor who is so technically competent, spends so much time with you, communicates so well, and is such a nice person. Dr. Starr, his staff, and the hospital were excellent. I heartily recommend Dr. Starr and UCSF.
He changed my daughter's life. She has myoclonus dystonia and he performed DBS on her. She couldn't carry a glass of water without spilling it all over herself. She has lived with this her entire life and it has caused her physical and emotional pain. Now she can do anything she wants and she has a life worth living! We are forever grateful to this doctor! He's the closest thing to God on earth.
Very experienced, knowledgeable and great bedside manner. Dr Starr is truly an expert in his field, and is truly concerned about the welfare of his patients.
I would recommend to anyone seeking help with dystonia. He cares, is gentle, and honest. He really listens to patients.
