Dr. Peter Zahos remains dedicated to advancing surgical treatment for movement disorders. The former Department Chair of Neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, Dr. Zahos currently serves as a neurosurgeon and the director of movement disorder surgery at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute.
A specialist in Deep Brain Stimulation, Peter Zahos advances innovative treatment options for patients with movement disorders. Peter Zahos has successfully implanted a series of brain pacemakers into patients forf Deep Brain Stimulation. Brain pacemakers regulate electric activity in the brain, often greatly reducing activity that causes tremors and Parkinson's symptoms.
Using frameless stereotactic techniques, Peter Zahos continues to alleviate the symptoms in sufferers of Parkinson’s and other disorders. Dr. Zahos emphasizes that Deep Brain Stimulation offers movement disorder sufferers improved quality of life, including increased mobility and decreased reliance on medications. Patients interested in frameless DBS treatment are encouraged to contact Peter Zahos’ office at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute.
After receiving his undergraduate degree at Yale University, Peter Zahos attended George Washington School of Medicine, where he received a W.T. Gill Research Fellowship and earned his medical degree. Peter Zahos advanced his specialty training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine as a surgical intern and neurosurgery resident and at the University of California, Los Angeles in a fellowship focusing on functional neurosurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery. Alongside his work with frameless DBS, Peter Zahos is interested in stereotactic radiosurgery, neuro-oncology, and therapeutic gene therapy in the central nervous system.
