About
Dr. Klafeta performs deep brain stimulation surgery on Parkinson’s disease patients. The procedure uses electrodes implanted in the brain to alleviate tremors and muscle freezing for many Parkinson’s patients, setting back the disease five or more years. Since joining Mercy Health Hauenstein Neurosciences in 2004, Klafeta also specializes in spinal reconstruction surgery.
In his third year of medical school, he assisted in removing a blood clot from a trauma victim’s brain.
“I came home, woke up my wife and said, ‘This is what I’m going to do.’ People are coming in, and they’re on death’s door, and you’re able to do something about it. What drives me more now is being able to help people who are in pain or are debilitated.”
