Physician discussed my condition and several alternative courses for treatment providing a description of each with the pot side effects. He also took questions before we agreed on a path forward.

Listened and explained in details all questions I asked. Was not in rush to go to next patient. This is a lost art in the health care field

Dr Grosberg, Sheena, Dr Mehla, are all very nice. Dr Grosberg is especially thoughtful. He makes you feel like you are being heard, and takes the time to explain things. He is always attentive when it comes to including you in any plan he has. His bedside manner is above and beyond.

De Grosberg was very thorough and attentive. He made additional effort to communicate to three other care team members, which Is appreciated. Due to limitations on time, we were not able to discuss one of my concerns over my care that arose at a previous appointment; it causes me some anxiety. Also frustrating: a treatment I have been asking about since 2019 is finally under actual consideration in my treatment plan. I have no idea why it would take so long. I thought I needed it because nothing else was working?

I was able to meet Dr. Grosberg and his fellow. They took a significant amount of time going through history and checking different reactions to determine possible cause of headaches. I am grateful for their thoroughness and so thankful I went there.

Dr. Grosberg has treated my migraines for over 15 years. He is one the kindest, most compassionate man I’ve known. Dr. Grosberg always manages to know exactly what I need and how to treat them. As far as migrating to go, he is the absolute best doctor I’ve ever met

Dr. Grosberg and the team at the Headache Center are excellent providers. They show genuine care and interest in your case and don’t treat you as just another number. My experience has been life-changing. I went from constant migraines and cluster headaches to only a few manageable headaches a month. They worked with me to find the right treatment and doses and I am very happy with them!

After more than 35 years of constant daily headaches, Dr. Grosberg was able to find a cause and solution to help me. In the 7 months he has been treating me, my constant headache is down from 100% of days to @10% of days, and my debilitating headaches are down from @12% of days to less than 4% of days. Completely changed my quality of life.Dr. Grosberg also has a great bedside manner. He is very personable and if you don't understand something, he is able to re-phrase it in ordinary english.He was also able to convince my insurance company I needed a prescribed medication.

Extremely detailed and I didn't feel the appointment was rushed. Made me feel like I mattered!!!
