Hello All,
I was just hoping to get some help with a new doctor. My old one retired and pointed me to the Columbia Headache Center - Dr. Anne Remes. I've been to her a few times over the past year and a half and she seems quite knowledgable. However, it's just not working for me. She works 3 days a week and I can never get her to call me. When I run out of meds...or need to discuss changing doses, I don't hear anything for 3 - 4 days...all of which are full of Chronic clusters.
I need a knowledgable Doctor, but not at the expense of personal service. As you all know, I can't go three days with non-stop clusters hoping to get a call. I need a call within the hour  . Anyway, anyone have suggestions in Manhattan?

1. Search the OUCH site (button on left) for a list of recommended M.D.s.
2. Yellow Pages phone book: look for "Headache Clinics" in the M.D. section and look under "neurologist" where some docs will list speciality areas of practice.
3. Call your hospital/medical center. They often have an office to assist in finding a physician. You may have to ask for the social worker/patient advocate.
4. http://www.achenet.org/physicians/ On-line screen to find a physician.
5. http://www.headaches.org/consumer/index.html Call 1-800-643-5552; they will send a list of M.D.s for your state.

Thanks Bob. All good advice.
I was just wondering if anyone had some personal experience they could provide.

But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.
