Finding the Right Doctor
What kind of doctor should I be seeing?
Many movement disorder patients are recommended to work with a movement disorders specialist. This is a neurologist who has taken additional training in diseases that affect primarily physical movement, such as Essential Tremor. Whereas a general neurologist may treat patients with any of more than 100 neurological conditions, a movement disorders specialist focuses on a handful of disorders. Specialists also often are affiliated with reputable universities or teaching hospitals.
