I am a young onset patient. If you live in Southern California, the best doctors I found were Dr. Lew at USC and Dr. Bronstein at UCLA. I would assume the most innovative doctors would be at the Universities. I am participating in a study for a new Dopamine Agonist at USC and feel very confident that I am well taken care of. -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Robert Brandt Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 7:45 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: hello My husband has been treated for PD for about three years. We have had difficulty finding a doctor who is informed (some even neurologist) and one who will take the time to get to know his condition. Most of those that he has seen seem only interested in giving prescriptions. My question is, would he be better off seeing a movement disorder specialist, a neurologist who will listen or possibly a PD specialist (neurologist) Any helpful suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated. Can you tell us the difference between a Movement Disorder Specialist and a neurologist who works or specializes in PD?
