Keith, Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak does more DBS surgery than any other hospital in the tri-state area. There are numbers of studies on PD on-going all of the time in the Movement Disorder Clinic there. Dr. Lewitt is the person to see. Please call 1-800-633-7377 for his number. I apologize that I can't find the clinic number - I've been scrambling around looking for it, but misplaced it somewhere. My husband sees Dr. Danny Watson at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac. Dr. Watson has an MD/Ph.D and is wonderfully methodical in prescribing Parkinson's meds. He worked with Dr. Lewitt at Wayne State and has encouraged my husband to participate in a study with Lewitt at Beaumont. The beauty of being in a study (as many members of this list can attest) is that even if you get a placebo during the process, you are eligible for the drug (if it is promising) after the study is completed. Good luck and God bless you. -------- Mary Ann Ryan (CG Jamie 23/63) P.S. My husband's experience at U of M was very disappointing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
