Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have suffered from migraines for decades! I tried all sorts of meds and holistic approaches going through the traditional Medical visits and referrals, but nothing seemed to work. I had headaches at least 25 days a month! Finally my PC referred me to the headache center, where I met Andrea. She did a thorough examination, ordered several sets of images according to my symptoms, and worked diligently to find the proper treatment. After trying a few different approaches, she hit it right on the nail when she combined preventive and abortive meds along with behavioral care, which decreased my migraines’ frequency and intensity. I still have chronic fatigue, and go through other migraine symptoms, but the debilitating pain that prevented me from functioning is no longer an issue. I cannot thank the heavens enough for finding Andrea and Dr Verhaak. Without their expertise, effort, and understanding of my personal situation, I wouldn’t feel this better today. I highly recommend them!

Andrea is exceptionally knowledgeable and proactive in her treatment of patients with migraine. She has a wonderfully positive and optimistic demeanor, and is a very warm and genuinely caring person! She listens, and validates patient ideas, as well as thoroughly answers questions, often offering additional resources/therapies to consider. Andrea is a tremendous asset to her practice, and I am so fortunate to have found her!!!!!

When you ask questions about the rational behind the tests she prescribes. She really doesn't answer them. She books exams for her convenience and not hers. She is not a good listener and will keep you running. I waited 5 months for an appointment. I will not return to see her. If I could give her less than one star I would.

This is my second review of Andrea. I had an appointment with her yesterday. My wait time was under three minutes. She really listens to what you say. She asks questions and actually listens to your answers! Every time I leave, we have a plan for what is to happen until my next visit. I don't think I have ever been to a doctor who actually said, "John, I want you to feel better, and this is what we are going to do to make that happen...." She truly is excellent!!!

Andrea Murphy is the best! She is so kind, friendly, caring, and understanding. I have suffered with migraines for over 30 years and she has helped me more than any other neurologist. She’s so knowledgeable about migraines. She listens and actually cares about me and my health concerns. I never feel rushed or uncomfortable with her. She’s very positive and always has me laughing and feeling better. I just adore her and I’m so glad I found her!

Andrea has always been very helpful from answering any questions I have, staying updated on options possible for treatments, and great with any treatment she provides. She loves her job and has a great rapport with her patients. I work in the healthcare field and have had a few different neurologists. I'm glad to call Andrea my neurologist because it has taken years to find one like her.

Andrea is one of the finest medical professional I have ever encountered. Every visit is conducted in a friendly, interested and professional manner. She listens to my replies to the comprehensive questions she asks concerning my health and the treatment I receive. Andrea projects genuine caring for my well being, not only for the purpose of my visit but also as to my overall health. The entire office staff and practitioners show this same concern and respect.
