In regard to Lynn Lowe's question about facilities in the Boston Area, I would suggest the Boston University School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, 720 Harrison Avenue, Suite 707, Boston, MA 02118. Phone (617) 638-8466. The APDA Information and Referral Center at the above address will be able to give you excellent advice. Dr. Robert Feldman who is professor and chairman of University Hospital's Department of Neurology is one of the acknowledged leaders in PD diagnosis and treatment. Good luck, Lynn, and I hope you are able to make contact. Jerry Gleason ([log in to unmask])
