I am sure Mayo would be an excellent resource but you may want to consider a similar team closer to home. We live in southern New Jersey and receive great care from the movement disorder team at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. My wife was diagnosed 15 years ago and I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I was a hospital administrator for 30 years and worked for the board of medical examiners for ten years so have some experience with physicians.
Best wishes, Joe

I Wish I Had A Good Experience In Our Area Of NJ But We Didnt . The Original Neurologist After A Year Told Us " I Think You Have Parkinson " And To Get A Appointment At Columbia NY Which We Waited Almost A Year To Get In. I Did Not Think Other Then Giving Medicine (That Didn't Work) That It Was That Impressive So I'm Hoping At the Mayo Clinic They Will Look At Her As a Whole. Just The Fact That She Will Be There 7 To 10 Days Makes Me Feel Good And I Will Know I Did Everything. Thank You For Sharing Your Experience as All This Is So Helpful. Im Just Praying This Isnt A A Typical Form Of Parkinsons Which They Said It Could Be . Philadelphia Is Not Too Far So I Will Be Asking Them Where They Think We Should Go Once Back Home As Theres Really No Movement Disorder Drs Close To Our Area Which Is Surprising but Im Planning On Going to A Local Support Group to See Who Everyone There Is Going Too. Thank You Again and Wishing You Both the Best.
Sincerely,
Grace
