Virginia Herd: I would hasten to a neurologist whose specialty is PD. I heard there is a good one in or near Lubbock Texas. Speaking of PD specialists... What would be a good resource for finding one/some specialists in a particular area? My dad lives in Marin County, California (just north of San Francisco). He's currently seeing a neurologist in San Francisco (um, I DON'T mean dating :-) and dad says the guy's a PD specialist, but I don't know how to be sure. From reading this list, I realize there's a whole LOT of issues in PD beyond the purly neurological, and I'd like to make sure that my father is getting all he can from his physician. So where could I find a list or reference to a neurologist in the San Francisco area who is really familiar with the ins and outs of PD; one who is sensitive to the side issues that come along with it? Many thanks. -- Gary Zimmerman
