Allow me to briefly introduce my self. I am the Parkinson's Disease Resource person in Oklahoma City and surrounding area. I am employed by Mercy Health Center and have been facilitating the support groups and writing the monthly newsletter for 5 years. I do not have Parkinson's disease but over the years I have made many good friends of parkinsonians and their families. I joined this newsgroup at the encouraging of John Cottingham. I thank him for putting me in touch with such a great group of folks. The support and genuine concern for each other flows over and through this network. I am encouraging my folks to go "on line" and get involved with others who are afflicted with Parkinson's. Here is my question -- one of my clients has been accepted for surgery (palidotomy) in Loma Linda. They are now on the "official" waiting list. It may be a year or more before surgery. They have asked Dr. Ioccona if he would recommend someone else who does this surgery. He recommended several doctors. The ones they are most interested in are at the St. Louis University Health Science Center.-- Dr. Jamie Henderson and Dr. Buckoltz. Does any one know of either of these doctors and their success rate? Keep up the good work!!!
