Tell me about it. They won’t even schedule the appointment either. I was told they would call me when I made it far enough down the list to schedule. They said not to expect a call until 2024

You could also try Dr Katherine Wayman. She's part of UVM but not in the headache clinic. Still might be a wait, but two friends have seen her and liked her. One got in relatively quickly off the waitlist. That might've changed, though, given the state of things.

It’s funny you said that because I was researching neurologist and came across her and she had excellent reviews. I called and spoke to her receptionist who was really nice and helpful but was told she doesn’t specialize in headaches. She told me I’d have to call the “headache Clinic” at UVM. I don’t understand why I can’t just see a neurologist. I would think they could at least order some testing to help figure out what’s going on.

That's a bummer. I knew she was a general neuro, but she has seen some of my friends with headache and migraine. And she seemed up on latest headache treatments. Maybe she's overwhelmed with patients, too. I hope you find a way to be seen soon. These wait times and delayed access to treatment are incredibly frustrating.
