Greg, Diane, and "All"... Do keep in mind that Alan Bonander passed away over a year ago (and is SO missed by those of us who knew this wonderful man!), and in the interim MANY more medical facilities 'round the country are now offering pallidotomy as an alternative PD treatment. Dr, Iacono, for instance, is now performing the surgery (and other types of PD and neurological surgeries), plus holding his movement disorder clinic at Encino Hospital - right in my own back yard - as well as at Loma Linda (and I had to go all the way out to Loma Linda for the surgery in '94! WHAT a haul THAT was!) I wonder any of the big national PD associations might have an up-to-date list of surgeons/hospitals that offer pallidotomies/other PD-related surgeries?
