Local Movement Disorder Specialists Recommended by Support Group Members

UPDATED: September 19, 2023

This is a list of movement disorder specialists, unless indicated, in Northern and Central California.  We’ve listed a few neurologists who have special interest in movement disorders.  Just because someone is listed below doesn’t mean they are accepting new patients or a particular type of insurance.  You should re-confirm all details with the professionals listed.  All physicians or clinics require a referral.  For smaller clinics, a referral from “Robin Riddle at Brain Support Network” may be sufficient.
