Title: Clinic in Philadelphia
Post by fjb on Aug 11^th, 2003, 5:58pm

Last month I took Jill to Jefferson Headache Clinic in Philadelphia. We were impressed with the clinic and the doctors, the consult took about 4 1/2 hours and she saw a whole team of doctors. It was easy to find, we traveled from New Jersey on the Metro.
I don't know if anybody else on the board has been there, it may be somewhere you might want to try. It is expensive and in our case the insurance did not cover the expenses. But we came away with some ideas to take to her neuro. They do have an inpatient headache clinic that is usually for 5 days and runs about $25,000. Barbara

What kind of ideas did you pick up from them?

Please keep us posted as to what the neuro says.

Good luck.

Barbara,
Please keep us posted about what treatment options they suggested. Who did you see at the Headache Center?

Jill actually saw six doctors on a team and a psychiatrist. The main doctor that spoke to us about the results at the end was a Dr Rosen. The suggestions he had were geared for Jill, they probably would not work for everyone. I think they do alot of clinical trials there. We were impressed with the place. Barbara
