As Parkinson’s is a neurological condition (a condition
affecting the body’s nervous system), the most appropriate specialist is usually
a neurologist. However, not all neurologists specialise in Parkinson’s and it
is important that you see one who does. As Parkinson’s is a condition mainly
affecting older people, many geriatricians (doctors specialising in the medical
care of older people) are also very knowledgeable about it.
