We are fortunate in Southern California to have so many tremendous universities close at hand and, with them, some wonderful Parkinson's specialists who are engaged in ground-breaking research on the disease. Most treat patients in addition to their research. One such outstanding specialist is Dr. Daniel Truong, who has offices at UCI in Irvine and also in Fountain Valley. I have come to know Dr. Truong and his work because of my role as a West Coast board member for the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (he is Scientific Director for PDF on the West Coast, in addition to his role as head of the Movement Disorders Program at UCI) and his treatment over the past two years of my mom, who comes out from her home in Louisiana to be treated by Dr. Truong. He's the only doctor I know that still gives out his home number to his patients!
