Also call the Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale for a referral to a Dr., but also that is where the Peninsula Parkinson's Support Groups, Inc., PPSG, is run from (PPSG is kind of a referral, news, "clearing house" organization that communicates with support groups throughout a fairly large area in Northern Calif.) PPSG: 408-734-1593 Park. Inst: 408-734-2800 (ask for Carol Marchi, outreach coordinator) UCSF: Clinic Info: 415-476-4173; Merrily Burger, Outreach Coor, 510-339-8550 Good luck Ann
