Parkinson’s Disease Care and Research
The Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center of Boca Raton stands as a premier, internationally recognized facility dedicated to advancing care and research for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. Founded in 1999 by Stuart H. Isaacson, M.D., a board-certified movement disorder neurologist with over 250 scientific publications and extensive experience as a principal investigator in global research programs, the center represents a distinguished non-university based academic institution.
Under Dr. Isaacson’s leadership, alongside Harvard and University of Miami-trained movement disorder specialist Sagari Betté, M.D. and Harvard and Columbia University-trained specialist Jonathan Isaacson, M.D., the center directs a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, nurses, research coordinators and social workers. This collaborative approach seamlessly integrates holistic clinical treatment with access to one of the largest Parkinson’s clinical research centers in the United States.
The center provides comprehensive diagnostic services, including no-cost testing for genes that cause Parkinson’s, skin biopsy and DaTscan imaging for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. Patients and families benefit from education about newly FDA-approved therapies. The center’s research initiatives focus on disease-modifying treatments, persistent symptoms and prevention strategies—including cutting-edge trials for improved symptom control, gene therapies, stem cell replacement and early intervention treatments in partnership with the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The recently launched preventPD program at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases serves those at higher risk of developing Parkinson’s.
Complementing clinical excellence, the Parkinson’s Wellness Center offers daily lectures, therapy, counseling and exercise programs at no cost to the community. These services are supported by the Parkinson’s Research and Education Foundation, advancing the center’s mission to support research, education and awareness for those affected by Parkinson’s disease.
Fully embodying its vision that “No One Should Have To Wait For Parkinson’s Care,” the center ensures new patient evaluations with movement disorder specialists within one week. Additionally, its Same Day Walk-in Parkinson’s disease care service remains open to the community, providing accessible, timely expert care when needed most.
