Please help my mum said my dad has parkinson's,has no tremors, the only test he's had is a memory one, can this confirm it alone! doesn't sound right!

Parkinson's: A good diagnosis is going to involve a thorough neurologic exam combined with MRI, and can certainly be supplemented by a good neuropsychological exam, which is likely what your mum is calling a memory test. Also not every person with this disease will show significant tremors.
