His number is 913-588-6970. This number will get you the answering machine for all of the PD specialists. You might ask for Dr. Koller's nurse, Deb Michalik (pronounced Mick-a-lick) to call you back, and then you could ask whether one needs a referral from another doctor, as well as asking about making an appointment. Dr. Koller flies all over the world, and is often gone, so may not be available. We have also seen Dr. Ed Miyawaki, and liked him very much. Drs. Pahwa and Dubinski also see PD patients. I think all are quite good. KU Med is located right in KC. If you succeed in getting an appointment, ask if Dr. Koller's office can send you a map or otherwise give you directions. It's not hard to find if you come in on I-70. Margie Swindler, [log in to unmask]
