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.

This is the best method I know of to find such a physician.

i have seen a few docs that were very personable and friendly, but the majority justtry to get in and out as fast as possible and don't care one bit about you or any questions you may have

Ceejay,

The list of Doctors on the OUCH site that was given,  is people from here who have seen them and reccommend them because they are either knowledable about CH, empathetic towards this condition or both.  That list was started BECAUSE of all the experience that folks have had with bad ones.
