Qualifications
Specialization and Surgical Focus
Dr. Zirh performs functional neurosurgery for movement disorders. He specializes in deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgical procedure that uses implanted electrodes to manage tremors and motor symptoms. The doctor also uses technologies for non-invasive treatments, including Gamma Knife and Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS).
The specialist treats various conditions using precise surgical methods:
- Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease
- Epilepsy using vagus nerve stimulation and subpial transections — a technique that severs nerve fibers to stop seizures
- Chronic pain management
- Stem cell therapy for neurological restoration
- Stereotaxic surgeries for high-precision brain mapping
