I am new to this site. My husband is in the preliminary evaluation stage but the neurologist is pretty certain it is LBD. He has many of the symptoms you have described. If he is definitely diagnosed with this disease, is it possible to request a physician with this specialty at Mayo instead of the neurologist at Mayo that he currently has. I want the best I can find for him.

I would think you could get a referral from your Primary Doctor to go to another Neurologist. I would find out if your insurance will accept the referral.

Hello @sakoziar and welcome to Connect. I know the importance of finding the best doctor for your husband's evaluation and treatment.

If I understand correctly, your husband is currently being seen at Mayo. Is that correct?

Please feel free to talk with the doctor who he is seeing to be sure that he/she is the best doctor for your husband's evaluation and treatment.
