I am looking for a headache specialist in the valley that is taking new patients. I looked on the National Headache Foundation site and found 3 certified headache specialists, it none of them take my insurance. Can anyone recommend a doctor in Phoenix please? Thank you!

Hi Mary,
Sorry to read you are suffering and in pain without the professional help of a doctor who truly knows how to effectively treat Cluster Headache sufferers.

You asked for a referral to a good doctor in the Phoenix area. It just so happens that a little over one year ago, I compiled the most comprehensive list of all doctors familiar with Cluster Headaches throughout the USA and Canada.

Below you will find my list of doctors who are practicing in/near the Phoenix area. These doctors were all recommended by other CH sufferers residing in Arizona.

Phoenix
Dr. Lynn Ashby
Barrow Neurology Clinic

Dr. Stephen S. Flitman
Barrow Neurology Clinic

Dr. James L. Frey
Barrow Neurology Clinic

Dr. Barry A. Hendin
Phoenix Neurological Associates

Dr. Stuart Hetrick
Foothills Neurology

Dr. Larry Ryan
Northwest Medical Center

Dr. Joshua A. Tobin
21st Century Neurology

This completes my list of Phoenix area doctors who have all been referred/recommended from fellow Cluster Headache sufferers.

Wishing you and every CH'er in the Phoenix area good luck finding a doctor you are pleased with! Wink

Hi Gregg,
Thank you! I have called one of these doctors already and they do not take my insurance. I am trying to get into see Dr. Ashby, but it is a long process to get into Barrows. I'm going to see my PCP tomorrow about a referral which my insurance doesn't require, but Barrows does. It's just difficult to play the waiting game when pain is involved.
Thank you for the list. I will call the others to see if they accept my insurance and if they are taking new patients.
Mary

I cried when she told me they take my insurance. Of course I was already crying because I was at the end of the beast. Thank you so much for your help. I truly appreciate it. Mary

I will be sure to post about him tomorrow after I see him. I am loading myself up with knowledge and literature to take with me to my appointment. He does have on his web site cluster headaches, but I want to go and let him know I have been doing some research. I'll be posting soon. Mary
