Yes, this was an excellent experience. I didn't know what to expect, I had met with another neurologist a few years ago, he retired. He spoke at me and offered me medicine and when I said that I'm allergic to many medicines and I was wondering if there were other options to try he said no, and he got up and he walked out of the room and left. But this doctor that I saw Emory, listened, asked questions offered suggestions, all of which were helpful! I am eager to hear his opinion at my next visit.

The doctor was great! He explained the causes of migraines, the mechanisms by which pain occurs, treatment options, how the treatments work to reduce pain, potential side effects, and holistic steps to reduce the likelihood of migraines. He explained things in an approachable way with an appropriate amount of detail. He was also affable and made me feel understood.

Dr Rhyne sees me, as a human, as a patient, but most of all, as a woman who lives in chronic pain. He ALWAYS allows me time to tell him how much pain is stealing from me, and is actively trying everything to stop the cycle. His heart is so big.

Dr Rhyne is an excellent communicator-- he explains everything completely without frustration when needing to repeat or when this patient asked manymanymany questions--was welcoming of alllll questions and concerns of this patient. Many Drs get defensive and say "I'm the Dr, just do as I say," or "you ask toooooo many questions." Dr. Rhyne was a pleasant and appreciated physcian resource that makes me very hopeful for uncovering multiple diagnoses on my health journey. I am sooooo glad EMORY has established this headache department...I feel very hopeful about resolution and care for my healthcare issues.

I saw two doctors about my cluster headaches prior to Dr. Rhyne, all of which gave me medication which I told them I did not want to take and wanted to discuss other options. They would not discuss other options with me. I was frustrated with my previous care. I had asked previous doctors to prescribe me the medication that was described as the best course of action for cluster headaches. However, they never would and their only sited reason was "we don't like to prescribe those in the home." When I saw Dr.Rhyne he immediately prescribed the medication to me without me even bringing up my previous experience with the other doctors. He also gave me two other medications to use in addition to the one I had wanted to make sure my headaches were taken care of. He listened to my concerns, validated my situation, and I left feeling incredibly happy and hopeful that my cluster headaches will be improved. I am very thankful to have gotten this care.

He engaged in discussion of my situation rather than dismissing my other issues as not relevant. It was a positive experience, and I'm hoping that he can help me find a way to manage these headaches. I always wait until I've worked with a doctor for a while before recommending that doctor to others. I felt positive about the appointment, and I'm cautiously optimistic.
