About
Angela Richmond, MD, PhD, is a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders and the function of the nervous system. She helps patients with diagnosis, treatment and management of a range of conditions including tremor, concussion, cognitive decline, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dystonia and cerebellar ataxia. She is also trained in therapeutic botulinum toxin injections.
Dr. Richmond studied neuroscience because she had a family member affected by a neurodegenerative disease and saw its effects. She provides patient-centered care and treats individuals as people with medical concerns and encourages her patients to ask questions, voice their concerns and set goals.
In her personal life, Dr. Richmond is married with two children. She enjoys reading, trying new restaurants and spending time with her family and friends. A sports enthusiast, she enjoys playing, coaching and watching sports, cheering on the Missouri Tigers at every opportunity.

Research Profile
Angela Richmond, MD, PhD, is a neurologist and movement disorders clinician and researcher interested in Parkinson’s disease, deep brain stimulation (DBS), dystonia, therapeutic botulinum toxin, Huntington’s disease and cerebellar ataxia. Her past research efforts included helping her patients participate in clinical trials to learn more about Parkinson’s disease. One trial offered free genetic testing for certain Parkinson's disease-related genes and genetic counseling for those affected with Parkinson’s disease, and the other gathered information from patients over time to learn more about how Parkinson’s disease starts and changes.
