Hi Joanne-- here's a place to start, from my respurce file---:
If possible, you should see a movement disorder specialist, who is fully
informed about PD, as not all family doctors and general neurologists are.
The easy way to find a MOVEMENT DISORDER SPECIALIST is to dial
1-888-400-2732. This toll free number will ring in the American Parkinson
Disease Association Information & Referral Center.
