Both doctors on call were very attentive and listened carefully and easily asked questions to make proper diagnosis and remedy. That's not always easy on a video call but they both made sure i was comfortable with it and it worked :-)

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!

THIS PRACTICE HAS HORRIBLE COOMUNICATION WITH PATIENTS! They don’t return your calls in a timely manner and they “think” that they are the only professionals working in a busy place. I have great STATE OF CONNECTICUT PRIVATE INSURANCE Qand not satisfied with their lack of customer service or lack of communication skills! Respectfully remove me from your care. Mayra Rios

Largest concern is that TWICE my/the insurance company has denied the doctor's recommendation for the next steps medication.

My experience with Dr. Brian Grosberg was exceptional. He was incredibly thorough, kind, compassionate, and genuinely concerned about my well-being. He asked thoughtful, valuable questions and really took the time to piece together the puzzle of my symptoms and comorbidities, which helped me feel truly understood. Along with his partner, Dr. Schneck, he created a comprehensive and personalized plan for managing my chronic migraines. I was provided with both a long-term strategy and a variety of supportive options to help me navigate this condition more effectively. The wait to see him was absolutely worth it. I left feeling hopeful, informed, and supported. Highly recommend Dr. Grosberg for anyone seeking attentive and compassionate migraine care.

I am the conservator of one of his patients. Dr Grosberg is hands down the Doctor with phenomenal bedside manner. He relates to all types and is thorough. If I ever needed a Headache Specialist there is no other Physician I would put full trust in. Hr is a huge asset to the Ayer Institute as a HHC representative. Well done...Dr G

Not only was I heard, but Dr Grosberg managed to get me an appointment then and there with a cardiologist-which was beyond what I expected and was very helpful in my medical journey.

I saw Dr. Grosberg for migraines. I had for them for years and then they returned years later with different symptoms. I have been treated for years for allergy/sinus . He spent a long time with great patience and understanding. All the years I have felt so poorly and now I have a diagnosis and treatment. I am so thankful for him and his staff is wonderful! I highly recommend this knowledgeable, kind man.
