we went from a regular neurologist to a movement disorder specialist. Although the MDS is much farther away at a major medical center it was well worth it.

An MDS is a Neurologist with specialized training (2+ yrs) to help you and me (PwP's) People With Parkinson's. Other Neurologists typically work with other Neurological issues. Highly recommend an MDS.

Take Care!

An MDS is a Neurologist who specializes in working with PwP's (People with Parkinson's). They specialize in treating us. Highly recommend having this type of Neurologist. Mine is the Director of Neurology at a major medical facility in Orlando, Florida.
