My husband with Parkinson’s and I just moved to the South Strand area of Myrtle Beach area and are looking for recommendations for a neurologist that treats Parkinson’s Disease. Need someone that is easy to talk to and isn’t rushed for time.

My mother has Parkinson's and Bi-Polar Disorder. She is taking 6 Sinemet a day. 2 tablets 3 times a day the 25/100. Can you take more than that? Her doctor told her to take it when she needed it, but if she takes more than 6 a day she goes into a Mania phase of her Bi-polar.
