In Fort Myers, your Father can take advantage of Dr. Edward Steinmetz and his colleagues (Drs. Harris L. Bonnette and Douglas Newland) at Palm Medical Center - a part of Lee Memorial Hospital complex. These are well-trained and experienced neurologists in the field of movement disorders. Their clinic number is (941) 939-2412. Lee Memorial Hospital also hosts an excellent support group for patients, families and anyone interested/involved in PD. The contact for the support group is Ms. Roberta Montgomery and she can be reached at (941) 772-6299. I hope this helps.
