Sharon, you could phone either the American Parkinson Disease
Association Information and Referral Center (800-223-2732)
http://www.apdaparkinson.com/
or the National Parkinson Center (800-327-4545)
http://www.parkinson.org/
for information on a specialist in your area.
NPF has a Center of Excellence that is very highly regarded in Kansas
City; if you can drive that far, that would be a very good choice.
Best regards,
Kathrynne
