Default Dad coming to NY next week...make doc appt.

Ok, most have seen me post about my dad. He was diagnosed with PD a few years ago and he is now 70 years old. He says his only symptom is tremors in his right hand. He has been to three neuros in Florida and one movement disorder specialist at USF and they have all confirmed PD. He has tried several medications and some with bad side effects. HE is now on Levadopa/Sinemet. He says the meds have never made his symptom better but he claims it might not be making his disease progress. He does have depression since being diagnosed. He is his own worst enemy. He has no desire to do anything anymore and really does not try his best to better himself. I think a big part of it is that all his life he wa sa competitive runner and triathlete and took GREAT GREAT care of himself and ate SUPER healthy and this happened to him.

Well I am making an appointment for him when he comes here and I want to ask the doctor questions myself. Can anyone help me with what questions I should ask please. I really appreciate your help.
