BEYOND STANFORD
We maintain a list of all movement disorder specialists in Northern and Central California. We don’t publish this list due to frequent changes as new specialists join medical centers, move away, have life changes, take leave, attend conferences, or start or continue research projects. Any list we publish would likely contain many errors!
If you are looking for a movement disorder specialist in our area, please reach out to us via phone 650-724-6090 or email.
Please let us know where you live and whether or not you are a Kaiser patient. We can provide a referral to a nearby movement disorder specialist. Rather than just giving you a phone number, we can also give you the ins-and-outs of making a new patient appointment.

EMAIL LISTS
We offer two main email lists:
- Stanford PD Info: no more than four emails per month. We NEVER fundraise. One of our monthly emails is a list of Parkinson’s webinars. Another is a list of guest speakers at various PD support groups.
- PD caregivers: as many emails per month as we’d like. Not all are PD-specific. One of our monthly emails is a list of caregiving webinars. We do listen to some of the webinars ourselves and email out notes from those.
Sign up for one or both of these email lists here.
Please let us know how we can assist you!
