How Much Does Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery Cost in Germany?

The cost of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Germany typically ranges from $50,000 to $80,000. Costs depend on factors like the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise in neurosurgery, device brand (such as Medtronic or Boston Scientific), and the complexity of the patient’s condition. In the United States, the average price is $90,000 (per AANS). DBS surgery in Germany is about 28% less than in the U.S.

German hospitals usually include the initial consultation, pre-op assessment and blood tests, hospital stay with meals, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 support. English-speaking staff and personalized treatment plans are standard. In the U.S., the price often covers only the surgeon and device, with extra charges for tests, hospital stay, and follow-up. Always confirm exactly what each clinic includes.

The goal for which we went - we achieved, we were told the diagnosis, the task that we set ourselves - we achieved, so we are satisfied with the trip to the clinic and, in principle, we can advise it to other people.

"We definitely would not have such a result
I did a similar operation 20 years ago in Germany - now it’s definitely better, now the postoperative period has been reduced to a day and it is less painful. The hospital is good, double ward and the conditions are comfortable. There is a shower in the room, it’s convenient. We spoke with Ralph Bull, a doctor before the operation. After the first consultation, there remained uncertainty whether to do the operation or not. In this regard, doctors are careful and if there is a risk of surgery with complications, they can offer injections and physiotherapy, which is cheaper and safer. Nevertheless, in my case, the doctor once again reviewed the MRI and decided to do the operation. Adequate treatment, do not inject too much, gave pain medication. In general, everything is fine, the postoperative period is small and everything is good so far. We definitely would not have such a result.

- No one tried to scare or speed up the treatment process, but on the contrary, explained the risks and different methods of treatment, which encouraged and inspired hope for a favorable resolution of my problem
Good evening !!! I was in the clinic for a consultation in early September. Dr. Bul and the staff are very polite, attentive, calm, and what is surprising, they are not trying to make money on you, but they offer options for cheaper treatment and testing. No one tried to scare or speed up the treatment process, but on the contrary, explained the risks and different methods of treatment, which encouraged and inspired hope for a favorable resolution of my problem.

I advise all friends now Bookimed will always help
In general, the impressions are certainly positive, and it is impossible to compare with our medicine. And according to the statistics of the treatment of my problem itself, the effectiveness is of course much higher. Of course, it’s hard with the language barrier, except for our girls in the international center, I didn’t hear a Russian word in 7 days, it was certainly difficult, and in principle translators also helped when I was with them. I advise all friends now Bookimed will always help.
