I don't mean to be a downer, but I cannot think of any doctor who will take on trying to manage your mom's PD with an herbal. The risk of malpractice is just too high. There is; however, an alternative. You could look for an MD or DO who practices Functional Medicine. They treat the person not the disease.
My General Practitioner is willing to help me use amino acid therapy as a way to keep Sinemet dosages in check, but I cleared it with my neurologist first. This might be a workaround for you.

Good luck!
