Sure, I've always got advice...it's just answers
that I'm having trouble with.
Get the provider directory from your healthcare plan.
Call the neuros listed and ask them if they have a "special interest"
in CH. Ask them if they are familar with Dr. Peter Goadsby. Check the Dr listing on the OUCH page and
see if any of them are suggested. Tell us where you
live and see if there's someone in your area with a good
one. If your health plan uses any "headache clinics" or
universitys, I'd start there. When you decide, schedule a 10 minute, get to know you appt...without a referral...they often don't even charge...size him up. You don't want a referral to another
jerk. Do your research, and then TELL your PCP which
neuro to refer you to.
