Patient Reviews
Dec 29, 2022
I have post traumatic headaches resulting from a car accident, which Dr Finkel specializes in. I was referred to him by my Duke neuroradiologist after she patched 7 spinal fluid leaks in 2013. He has navigated me through low spinal fluid pressure, high spinal fluid pressure, mTBI symptoms and new medical break throughs. He explains every recommendation and my underlying pathophysiology thoroughly and gives me scientific journal articles to read. He listens carefully and shares his experience with other PTHA patients, especially veterans with similar conditions. Before prescribing expensive new medications with unknown insurance coverage he gives me 14-28 day samples to see if they work. He has improved my quality of life 1000%. Before him I was commuting to the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute in Anne Arbor quarterly for HA care, at least he is within driving distance. Many of his patients commute from out of state and I would too if needed. He is the best.
