There are two top notch Dr's at Oregon Health Science University. Dr Hamerstead and Dr. Nutt either one would be fine Drs. >My mother has been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. We are still in the >early stages of learning about treatment options. She has been on >selegiline (not sure if I spelled that correctly) for the past two months >but is still having major. perhaps even increasing problems with gait, >constipation, depression etc.. We live in a Coos Bay, a relatively small >town in Oregon and her doctor is about to refer us to Oregon Health Science >University. Does anyone on the list have a particular doctor they would >recommend that we try and request? What type of tests, examinations etc.. >should we try and have done in Portland. My mother's doctor here is very >kind and I think competent, but is young and has had very limited experience >with Parkinson's cases. My mother has an appointment tomorrow where the >doctor will be writing the referral and I would like to be as knowledgeable >as I can be in talking to him about where to go from here. Both, my mom and >I have been reading the list for the past couple of months. We have >appreciated everyone's postings and openness. I'm sure as time goes by mom >will be adding her own postings. > >Sincerely, Peggy Thornton jjjane http://www.geocities.com/soho/village/6263/pienet/people/hithross.html
