Over the past few months, I've had the honor of facilitating a Parkinson's Disease support group at a prestigious community in Fairfield. During our sessions, residents have often mentioned Dr. Leon Meytin, a local Neurologist specializing in Parkinsonism and Movement Disorders. They've praised him not only for his expertise but also for his genuine care for patients. Recently, we were fortunate to have Dr. Meytin as a guest speaker, and his insights were invaluable.
Dr. Meytin discussed various aspects of Parkinson's treatment, including the potential dyskinesia caused by Levodopa and its management with Amantadine. He also highlighted alternative treatments such as deep brain stimulation for eligible individuals. Additionally, he mentioned Ambresia as a rescue drug for those experiencing freezing episodes.
During the session, Dr. Meytin addressed common questions about Parkinson's, including its hereditary component and the diagnostic process. He emphasized that while genetics play a role, there are other significant factors contributing to the development of the disease, and diagnosis relies heavily on medical history and physical examination.
Based on my experience and the valuable information shared by Dr. Meytin, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional neurological care. His office can be contacted at 860-870-6385.
