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.

If you go to DHMC, make sure you call the headache clinic not general neurology. Headache specialists are just more knowledgeable. I see a really good NP there. There might still be a wait as they lost a headache specialist and to my knowledge, haven't replaced her.
Unfortunately, wait times to see a headache specialist are LONG, because of a shortage of those with specialized training (~700 across the US).
One option, if it's financially feasible, are telemed headache specialists. In addition to my DH headache doc, I see an amazing one through Neura Health. The consult is out-of-pocket. He can prescribe in Vermont and that would go through insurance. If they end up thinking you need any testing, they can work with your PCP to order it.

Whoops, didn’t realize photo comments don’t show (or mine didn’t attach). Anyway, same scene here!

I just took this photo! There about as many out of frame. Funny thing was they've been around all summer, but we hadn't seen them since last week. Obviously laying low until it was safe. 🦃

Reply to comment by NightOnFuckMountain in I’m looking for a particular town that I visited one time and have not been able to find again. Kind of like a “Tip Of My Tongue” post, but for Vermont towns. by NightOnFuckMountain
Chester definitely fits that description, except that the Dollar Store is standalone. There was a leathersmith a while back on "the Green." The flags all line Main Street. There's also the Stone Village of old stone houses. Almost any way you come into Chester, you'd pass through ski towns, so definitely surrounded by mountains.

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.
