Yes. We do not accept walk-ins. To make an appointment, please call 408-376-0316.

We are contracted with most insurance plans including original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial PPOs & HMOs. We do not have an exhaustive list of all the insurance plans we participate in. It is highly recommended that each patient check with his or her own insurance carrier to verify that we are "in network". 

Referrals are not required for Medicare and PPO plans.

​

Some insurance plans (mainly HMOs) may require referrals and authorizations from your primary care doctor for services like follow up visits, medical botox therapy and Deep Brain Stimulation programming. Once you become an established patient, our office will submit authorization for continuing services. Please check with your insurance plan if authorization is required.

Not necessarily. To avoid bias, Dr. Huang and Lin generally see new patients without first looking the old medical records. After formulating the initial diagnosis, they will then review your medical records if available.

The initial evaluation is 45 to 60 minutes including check-in. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to be checked-in. The follow-up appointments are scheduled based on complexity and it ranges from 30-45 minutes.

For initial consultation, there is no need to change your daily medication routine. For follow-up appointments, Dr. Huang and Lin may sometime ask some patients to withhold medications for a certain period of time, as in some cases of DBS programming.

Call the office at 408-376-0316 to talk to a helpful staff member or email us at staff@parkinsonclinic.com For non-urgent requests, Dr. Huang or Dr. Lin will call back within 24 to 48 hours. All medical related issues will be addressed by Dr. Huang and Dr. Lin themselves. You may also email Dr. Huang at drhuang@parkinsonclinic.com and Dr. Lin at drlin@parkinsonclinic.com.

It varies. Some patients may need to be seen every 2-3 weeks until acute issues are resolved. Others may need to be seen every 6 months or once a year. On average, it is about every two to three months.

 Dr. Huang and Dr. Lin generally recommend that you continue seeing your local Neurologist. The choice is yours.
