A member asked:

Should i be seeing a neurosurgeon for suspected migraines..?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Neurologist: A neurologist would be more helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of migraines. A neurosurgeon performs operations on the brain-that is not the treatment for migraines.

Dr Rhoads and another doctor agreed
