Neurologists/Movement Disorder Specialists (MDS)
If you have Parkinson’s Disease, it is important to see a doctor who specializes in movement disorders. According to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, a movement disorder specialist is a neurologist with specific training in the subspecialty of movement
disorders.
These specialists typically see a greater number of patients with movement disorders and are more familiar with the treatments and medications that people with Parkinson’s need. It is helpful to choose a doctor that keeps up to date on the latest research and clinical trials. Your Movement Disorder Specialist is a crucial member of your care team so it is also important to choose a doctor that you feel comfortable talking with and takes time to address your concerns.
