Hi Joni.... I live in L.A. and have had PD for almost 25 years. Since I am a moderator if a PD support group (located at Encino Hospital, and meeting the 3rd Saturday of each month from 1 to 3 p.m.), I have had the opportunity to meet a buncha neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuros who are movement disorder specialists, as I often have them as guest speakers for my group. Just tell me what part of the L.A. area you're willing (or able) to drive to or get transpiration to, and chances are I can refer you to a coupla-three respected physicians. I would definitely start off with a movement disorder specialist, especially if you've never been seen by one yet, or if it's been a number of years since you've been to one. By the way, I included the location and the day/time my support group meets (hint hint) jjuuuuust in case you're looking for a warm, caring, and thoughtful group of folks who share many common experiences. I can also refer you to other fine L.A. based PD support groups, if you're interested. 'Nother "By the way": my support group meets with members of another Valley based support group the first Saturday of each month for dinner at local eateries.. We're meeting this coming Saturday at LuLu's Restaurant in Van Nuys (16900 Roscoe Blvd.., 100 feet east of Balboa Blvd.). PLEASE feel free to join us! We usually have from 12 to 25 people attending these "no host" events. Errrrrr.... I kinda got carried away here, didn't I <blush> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: JONI DIAMOND <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, September 30, 1999 1:13 PM Subject: Good Docs Does anyone know of some good Neurologists in the LA area?
