You still can:
-
Ask any questions that you have about Parkinson
disease in the same manner as you have been
doing, and receive an answer by return email.
-
As a subscriber, you will also receive -- just as in
the past -- questions and answers submitted by other
subscribers.
-
If you are already a subscriber, there is no need to
resubscribe.
-
And, of course, there is never any charge.
What is new and exciting:
-
A team of experts from the NPF Center of Excellence
at the University of Florida in Gainesville will
answer your questions according to their respective
specialties.
-
Our three Parkinson disease experts have all
completed fellowship training in movement disorders
and movement disorders surgery, and currently run
(as co-directors) one of the premier
clinical-translational research centers in the
country at the McKnight Brain Institute.
-
These experts are:
Michael S. Okun, M.D., a
neurologist with fellowship training in movement
disorders and movement disorders surgery. Dr. Okun
is particularly involved in motor
dysfunction (tremor, stiffness, slowness, wearing
off of drugs, and dyskinesia), DBS surgery, DBS
programming, benefits and complications of DBS,
management of medications following DBS, new devices
for the treatment of PD symptoms, stem cells and
viral vectors.
Kelly D. Foote, M.D., a
neurosurgeon with fellowship training in movement
disorders and movement disorders surgery. Dr. Foote
is particularly involved in deep-brain
stimulation (DBS) surgery, patient selection for
surgery, the surgical procedure itself,
microelectrode recording,
post-surgical complications, and new surgical
therapies for Parkinson disease.
Hubert H. Fernandez, M.D.,
a neurologist with fellowship training in movement
disorders and clinical trials. Dr. Fernandez is
particularly involved in non-motor symptoms
(cognition, mood, behavioral problems), clinical
trials for movement disorders, new
medical therapies, novel/non-conventional
treatments, and botulinum toxin therapy.
