Angela, Ask your father's interist to recommend you to a neuro (I did). My PDer presented with hand tremor on one side, slow movements, the typical bent position when standing of bending forward from the hips, and the typical shuffling gait (later, if untreated the PDer will look like a chinaman with fast small steps). If the internist believes he has PD, ask for referral to a neuro who specializes in 'movement disorders'. Hope this helps. Mary CG for MEl 76/11 [log in to unmask]
