It is not wise to choose a doctor based on the quality of the hospital or its parking facilities. A hospital can have an excellent reputation but have nobody on staff specializing in PD. Not every hospital can have specialists in every possible field of medicine. While the drive may be long or inconvenient, at least you have options within driving distance to your home. And remember, the specialist can work with your local internist, GP or general neurologist so you may only have to make that long, inconvenient drive once or twice a year.
