Newport: Hope in Parkinson's Disease (In-Person)

Part of our rural outreach initiative, Hope in PD is our third piece of education in Newport. We have come together to learn about the disease, services in the area, lifestyle recommendations and now we will hear from a neurologist about the latest in the field of Parkinson's medicine.

There are more treatment options for Parkinson's disease now than there have ever been. This is an exciting time with the development of new biomarkers for Parkinson's disease through spinal fluid, as well as new diagnostics through skin biopsy. Dr. Batya looks forward to discussing innovative treatments, ongoing research studies, and how to maintain hope in the face of Parkinson’s Disease.

Dr. Batya is a board certified neurologist with fellowship training in movement disorders, which include Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor, Huntington Disease, Dystonia, tremor, tics, and Restless Leg Syndrome. She is a specialist in the management of deep brain stimulation and the non-surgical care of the complex and multifaceted aspects of these diseases. In addition she enjoys developing long-term relationships with her patients. Dr. Batya understands the important task of choosing a care provider who is sensitive and compassionate.
