Thomas Gustafson, M.D.

"I have been working in neurosurgery in the Seattle area since 2002, and movement disorder neurosurgery since 2005. I work at a center with incredible surgeons, neurologists, and supporting staff. My current position, as senior practitioner in the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) clinic, is my favorite. I love seeing the difference in patient’s lives before and after their procedure. I believe that well informed patients have an easier time going through their treatment."

"MS and other neurological conditions come with many physical, cognitive and emotional challenges that can hurt a person’s satisfaction with life. As a clinical rehabilitation psychologist at the MS Center, I work to educate and equip patients and families to deal effectively with the demands of MS, and help them connect with others in a supportive community."
