Default yes i think one should be at least eval. by an MD specialist

Even tho my neurologist is not a movement disorder specialist, he is competent in, for example, calibrating DBS devices. So it makes sense to find out what they know and word of mouth is sooo important. I didn't know, however, that movement disorder specialists declare themselves as such. That was interesting.

Nevertheless, my neurologist immediately referred me to a movement disorder center so I'm satisfied for now. Seems to me there should be some type of certification don't you think?
