Clinicians and scientists at the Gardner Center for Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders at the UC Neuroscience Institute are dedicated to advancing treatment and research for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. Our team of highly skilled physicians is experienced in accurately diagnosing and treating Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, considering all potential options to help improve a patient’s quality of life.

The Gardner Center physicians diagnose and treat more patients with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders than any other center in the Tri-state region. In addition, the Center participates in a number of clinical trials to test new treatments for Parkinson’s disease and develop strategies for patients who don’t seem to respond well to standard therapies.

Clinical evaluation and treatment are performed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians who determine the best course of treatment, ranging from medication therapy to deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.

Several Gardner Center physicians and scientists are members of the scientific advisory board of the Davis Phinney Foundation, an organization dedicated to Parkinson’s disease research, and collaborate closely with the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. These national collaborations enable Gardner Center physicians and scientists to connect with their colleagues across the country in their quest for more effective treatments, and eventually a cure, for Parkinson’s disease.
