We lived in Mass a few years ago and went to a university hospital in Worcester. They had a clinic with excellent neuros for Parkinson's . Can't remember the name of the hospital but it's part of the Mass university system Bob A. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George J.

We do have a Massachusetts General Hospital but as great as they are I'm not so sure I would start with an In-Patient Neurologist. They might be inclined to think inpatient first if their census is down. I would encourage your friend to inquire of his personal physician for a referral to a near local Neurologist. Failing that I would think only then of someone with in-patient connections. The MGH is fine and they are team oriented so if you get a neurologist who doesn't like you or you don't care for him/her you can appeal to ther others. Boston University Hospital has a great PD unit as do several of the 50 or so area hospitals. MJ Fox had his brain serviced by a smallish hospital up the road from me. [ If you get limited response to this e-mail feel free to be in touch with me off-line and I'll be happy to grant him his wish if he will tell me where he lives.] Good luck george At 09:52 PM 10/1/01 EDT, you wrote: >Hi Guys, >I need the name of a good neurologist at Boston General Hospital.
