Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the ability to perform telemedicine visits at home, at a regional clinic close to home, and in-person in People with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is whether telemedicine assessments provide high quality care to people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will perform a regular clinic visit followed by research evaluations of their disease. Researchers will compare the results of these assessments at the different visit types to see if there are differences in the results.
