Talk:Paresh Doshi

Note
About Jaslok Hospital presents latest research on DBS therapy for early stage Parkinson’s disease; this source appears to refer to this NEJM article. Doshi is not an author and the source is misleading about that. Jytdog (talk) 18:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Doshi started his career in neurosurgery in India where he assisted, performed and supervised a large number of neurosurgical operations, including cases of head trauma, brain tumors, spinal surgeries, vascular neurosurgeries, paediatric neurosurgeries, radio-frequency lesions for pain, transsphenoidal, transoral surgeries, stereotaxy, etc.
 * Career

He then moved to England to worked as a clinical fellow with Professor Thomas, as part of his Stereotaxy and Functional Neurosurgery program. He gained experience in epilepsy surgery from the Maudsley Hospital and thereafter moved on to New Castle to continue his experience in general neurosurgery.

Doshi then trained in movement disorder surgeries, under Dr. Marwan Hariz and Professor A. Bosch in Umeå (Sweden) and Amsterdam where he performed pallidotomies. Subsequently, he worked with Prof. Benabid and Prof. Alesch, in Grenoble and Vienna to learn the art of deep brain stimulation, surgery. In 2003, he visited Lyon, France to obtain training in Spasticity from Prof. Marc Sindou. In 1998 Doshi set up a Functional Neurosurgery Department at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Center in Mumbai, India which is supported by well-trained neurologists and neuro-physiologists and backed by state of the art neurophysiology and neuroradiology departments. The center is renowned for performing epilepsy surgeries, movement disorder surgeries, surgery for chronic pain and spasticity and a wide spectrum of movement disorder surgeries including thalamotomy, pallidotomy, subthalamic nucleus lesioning and deep brain stimulation. He also started the Fellowship Training Program in Functional Neurosurgery where he has trained four neurosurgeons who are independently performing functional neurosurgeries and launched the Spasticity Program in 2004 and the Psychiatric Disorder surgery program in 2009. He introduced the technique of stereotactic evacuation of intracerebral hematoma in Mumbai.

Parkinson's Disease
Doshi is one of the world's leading experts on Parkinson's Disease and frequently promotes awareness on its cures across the nation. He has performed many path breaking surgeries on patients suffering from acute and rare cases of PD  and is at the forefront of medical research in this feild. He is also known for conducting brain surgery on India's youngest PD patient.

Deep Brain Surgery
Doshi is a pioneer in the field of deep brain stimulation (DBS). He is the first neurosurgeon to perform DBS surgery in India and has performed the largest number of DBS surgeries in India. He is also the only Neurosurgeon to perform DBS in patients with cardiac pacemakers. Doshi is also credited with the largest number of stereotactic procedures performed by a single person in India, with a success rate of greater than 95%. He has experience of 250 movement disorders surgeries of which 200 are DBS surgeries.

Research
Doshi has been involved with clinical research on various approaches to treat Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, like surgical methods,, better ways to deliver existing drugs, stem cell therapy, His team also has studied potential treatments for progressive supranuclear palsy.

Societies and journals
Doshi is a reviewer for “Neurosurgery” Journal, the regional editor for the WSSFN newsletter, the Treasurer of Indian Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and a Board Member of Asian-Australasian society of Functional Neurosurgery. He is also a member of several societies such as the Task Force to form Guidelines on Psychosurgery, Neurological Society of India, Indian Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery and the Movement Disorder Society.
