Our Practice
Valley Parkinson Clinic is a well-established and specialized clinic providing medical services and treatment for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. Our clinic is located in Los Gatos, California.
​
While Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease currently without a cure, many patients’ quality of life can be well maintained by optimizing drug therapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and in some cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy. Our goal at the Valley Parkinson Clinic is to find the best therapies for our patients to improve the quality of life and prolong independent living.
​
Dr. Huang and Dr. Lin specialize in the management of advanced Parkinsonism and DBS therapy. They maintain a small patient load so that each case can be studied and followed through thoroughly. Treatment regimens are designed carefully and systematically tried and evaluated for optimal therapeutic outcomes. Frequent follow-up visits are necessary to fine-tune the medications, monitor drug side effects and complications, and incorporate the latest therapeutic advances into the treatment regimens. Both Dr. Huang and Dr. Lin are easily accessible and answer all medically related phone calls/emails personally.
