Title: I need something new!
Post by tpitts77 on Mar 2nd, 2007, 8:20am
These f..ing things are kicking my ass!  I'm tired of my local Neuro's.  Has anyone ever been to the Jefferson Headache Center in Philly?

It's a bit oof a ride for me, but I'm hoping i'll be worth it!

I have been to Jefferson and was not happy about many things there.  I have heard of others who have gone to Jefferson and were pleased with the care.

My neurologist is Michael Cohen, MD.  His office is in the GSB Building on City Line Avenue in Philly and he is wonderful.  His office # is 1-610-664-3888.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Dr. Cohen...will be willing to help you in any way that I can.

I have been to numerous Neuros in the York, PA area and  The H/A clinic at Hershey Med Center.  I think it may be time for some sort of new approach.  I've been chronic for 10+ years!

Maybe they could cut off my head or something.

Beheading is not a CH treatment. That would work and then there would be no follow ups and drugs. ;)
all the best

Several of us met dr Noah Rosen from the Jefferson HA centre in Dallas and one thing I can say for him is that he has a lot of empathy for ch'ers. I haven't been treated by him but I wouldn't hesitate to see him based on his talks to us in Dallas.
I've had a consultation with Dr Stephen Silberstein also (here in England) and he certainly knows his stuff about CH.
Carrie (Lizzie2) is, I believe, a patient at Jefferson too so it would be worth asking her for input if you are going there.
Hope that helps!

I was seen by a team of Drs, including Dr. Ross at Hershey Med Center.  They then wrote a treatment plan to my family doc.  My family doc has been great to work with, He'll do anything for me.

So Dr. Ross has a practice outside of the Med Center?

Can I have the number?

Thanks for the help everyone?
