I've had headaches and migraines for 16 years. My headaches became more and more frequent until, one day I realized I'd been in non-stop pain for at least a week. That was 455 days ago.
I've seen neurologists, my GP (multiple times), been to the ER a couple of times, tried every medication, supplement, holistic treatment and had multiple MRIs and CTs before coming to see Dr. Kubek. I brought in a disc of my sinus CT that was ordered by a different (useless) ENT. Apparently, my sinuses are A-OK.
BUT - Dr. Kubek was so kind as to share his personal experience with severe, long-lasting headaches. I won't say more than that so as not to disturb his privacy, but I can say that I really, REALLY appreciated a doctor talking to me like an actual human that they can relate to, rather than just another task to cross off their to-do list.
Dr. Kubek was the first doctor I've seen in over a year that treated me with compassion and gave me hope. I almost feel like most of the doctors I've seen don't believe me when I say I've had a headache every minute of every day and night for over a year. And it hasn't been less that a 7 out of 10 pain level since March (it's currently July). Maybe it sounds too bad to be true?
Since my sinuses didn't need attention, Dr. Kubek didn't actually treat me. But he did give me some helpful information and referrals. More importantly, he showed empathy and treated me with respect. read more
