Title: Thomas Jefferson Headache Center
Post by Biggiestyle on Feb 25^th, 2005, 11:45am

Has anyone ever gone there? I am going to get my Dr. to refer me there.

Any experiences?

Thanks for all your help.

One of the clusterheads on this board had an affiliation (worked there, I believe), and had good things to say. I haven't been there, but the research they publish is top notch.

It's me. I did do research there to help with IRB's and writing papers, but I was not paid due to the fact that I was a patient....and they have policies and principles. ::)

I will reserve my commentary on the center right now as I'm on the rocks with them at the moment, and my relationship with my current neuro is absolutely the worst thing immaginable.

However, prior to my old neuro moving out of the country, I would have never chosen to go anywhere else. He was top notch. Unfortunately, I don't live in Singapore..nor can I afford to take my spring break there!

I've had 4 jobs at Jefferson and I'm a nursing student here. I've recently been hired for my 5th job as a graduate nurse in neonatal nursing. I was going to go into headache neurology but due to the nature of some problems I ran into, I decided that I would probably have hypertension and a heart attack/stroke out of frustration first.

I'd still recommend the place.

See if you can get in to see Dr. Noah Rosen there if you can. He's really great. :) He is newer and young and extremely perceptive. He's very into research and very into helping patients as best he can. I really like him a lot.

He's not my neuro..but as I said, I will avoid commentary there.

Best of luck and if you have more questions, let me know.

I live right in center city.

Lizzie :)
