What-to-Expect

Upon calling Westchester Medical Center Headache Specialists, you will speak to a member of our trained staff and make your initial consultation with one of our headache focused internists. We request that you fill out our Headache Intake Form found on our website prior to your first appointment. At your initial consultation we will review your intake form which is a vital piece to your initial assessment and proper diagnosis of your headache. Dependent upon your past medical history the internist will decide if blood work, imaging, or any further testing is necessary to better diagnose and treat your headaches.

From Internal Medicine an appointment will be made for you to be seen by one of our sub specialists, neurology or pain management, where they will review lab and imaging studies and tailor a proper treatment plan including but not limited to oral medications, Botox, or one of our minimally invasive procedures.

Dependent upon the outcome of such treatment techniques you may be referred for Surgical Evaluation. Approximately 10% of Migraine sufferers are candidates for surgical cure. At this point there will be a consultation where you will meet with our expert surgeon to further discuss this cutting edge procedure.

Throughout your journey you will be followed by our patient navigator who is a Physician Assistant and will be there to answer any medical or treatment questions that may arise throughout your treatment with Westchester Medical Center Headache Specialists.
