Our Goal
We are committed to providing patients and their families with thorough, considerate, state-of-the-art care. Our goal is to further progress in the field of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, in terms of both patient care and cutting-edge research. We are continuously investigating better diagnostic test and improved therapeutic options for patients and their families. At your visit, we are happy to discuss clinical trials and research studies that are currently open to patient participation. Should you decide to participate in a research study, our team of subspecialty-trained neurologists, nurses, coordinators, and genetic specialists will work closely with you before, during, and upon completion of your valued participation, to make certain you receive the best possible care.
Why Enroll in a Research Study?
These studies are designed to help find new and more effective ways to diagnose, treat and, ultimately, cure Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. Your participation in a research study may not only improve your quality of life but also make a difference for generations of patients in the future.
