CLINICAL BACKGROUND AND MY APPROACH TO CARE

My clinical approach to care is evidence based, guided by my extensive knowledge of headache research. I take a nuanced approach to care; based on preference and appropriateness we will discuss non-pharmacological interventions such as behavioral, in addition to available devices and of course medical and interventional therapies. 

My goal is to listen to your headache story, and help you navigate your recovery. I aim to empower you with knowledge to better manage your headache disorder.

I was concerned about going off the medication and Dr. Medrea was supportive and willing to continue my treatment. Agreed I needed to return in a year or before if I need to.

Dr. Medrea was professional, asked questions, listened well. She looked at all the tests, and MRI before making any diagnosis. Although it was not in her area of expertise she was still happy to listen and try to help me.
