Dr Bega is great! Really knows these disorders and medicines. I didn’t give a 10 rating because I don’t want Dr Bega to get so busy that it’s difficult for me to get an appointment.

In fact, i think so highly of him that I recommended him to my sister, who likely has parkinson‘s. I urged her to come to him for an analysis and for care if needed. This may sound like an old commercial but my sister‘s hair stylist also recommended Dr. Bega to her. I think she took the stylist’s word more seriously than mine.
