Neurologists

If you have Parkinson’s Disease, finding a doctor who specializes in Movement Disorders can transform your journey. The Michael J. Fox Foundation emphasizes that a Movement Disorder Specialist (MDS) is a

neurologist with exceptional training in this area. These experts not only excel in treating Movement Disorders, but they're also on the cutting edge of the latest treatments, medications and clinical trials.
