Talk to a Patient Who Receives DBS Therapy

Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who is receiving DBS Therapy and to hear about their experiences with the therapy. Medtronic DBS Therapy Ambassadors are available to answer your questions and share their experience with DBS Therapy.

Talk With Someone Who Understands

Whether you are considering or receiving Medtronic DBS Therapy, the Ambassador program is a helpful resource available to you at no charge. During your one-on-one conversation with an Ambassador, you can ask questions such as:

• What was the procedure like?
• Are you happy with the treatment?
• How often do you change your neurostimulation settings?
• How do you know when your settings may need to be changed?

Participation Is Easy

When you sign up to talk to an ambassador, you'll be able to view profiles of our ambassadors, choose the ambassador you want to talk to, and schedule a time that is convenient for you.

Medtronic DBS Ambassadors do not offer medical advice or technical support. Their remarks do not replace conversations with your doctor about the therapy or whether it may be right for you. For medical questions, please consult your doctor. If you have a Medtronic product and need technical support, please call (800) 510-6735.

Ambassadors are not Medtronic employees. Medtronic does not monitor for control, and cannot be responsible for a volunteer’s statements. Volunteers are instructed not to disclose your personal information, but we cannot guarantee this will not happen. Therefore, please do not share your personal information with the volunteer unless you wish to do so. Volunteers’ comments relate to their particular experience only. As with any treatment, individual results will vary.
