Q: Are My Dad's Experiences Normal? Need Desperate Help Please

My dad was diagnosed with parkison's last october and since then has responded to no treatment whatsoever. Personally, although I say nothing, I believe his neurologist is treating him as a guinea pig and not giving him the medication he should.
Do you think he should change neurologist?? Has anyone you know or have you experienced no response to treatment?? Is this normal and also, is it normal that the doctors aren't really that concerned at all???

Thank you so so so much for taking the time to read this, it's much appreciated.

Please please write back as I can't stop worrying. Even if it doesn't completely apply to what ive written, i'll glady read any information about response to treatments or success stories. Thank you

Can you tell me which medicines for treating Parkinson disease your father has been taking?

Can you also tell me how old your father is, and does he have any other disorders beside Parkinson's disease?
