Man says Parkinson's tremor vanished after incisionless brain procedure

Apr 8, 2026

From CBS Miami: South Florida man says Parkinson's tremor vanished after incisionless brain procedure: "They flipped a switch"

For the first time in three years, Jan Holmsted says he is free of the relentless tremors caused by Parkinson's disease, a change he describes as immediate.

"It's like you hit the switch, doc, to turn it off," Holmsted told his medical team.

That "switch" came in the form of an MRI-guided focused ultrasound performed at hashtag#DelrayMedicalCenter, an incisionless procedure that allows patients to go home the same day.

Congratulations to Dr. Arif Dalvi, Dr. Lloyd Zucker and team for this incredible outcome!
