We’re thrilled to welcome Sheila Anne P. Bobis, MS, PA-C, to the Haven team. With over a decade of neurology experience and nearly ten years focused on headache medicine, Sheila brings deep expertise, a warm heart, and a personal connection to migraine care. Her journey—from migraine sufferer to specialist—is one of resilience, skill, and compassion.

What inspired you to specialize in headache care?

“I’ve had migraine attacks since I was a child. Growing up, I was told, ‘It’s just a headache, live with it.” But I’ve always wanted something better—for myself and for others. Migraine is unpredictable and disabling. I knew I could make a difference for people who feel like no one is listening.”

Can you share your personal journey with migraine and how you found relief?

“My early experiences with care were frustrating. I was told to take Tylenol and prescribed various medications that didn’t help. During undergrad and grad school, the attacks became more frequent—stress made everything worse.

Even after I became a PA, I struggled to find relief. But as I trained in Emergency Medicine and Plastic Surgery, I started learning about tools like Botox, Nerve Blocks, and Trigger Point Injections. That’s when it clicked—I could use these skills to help others like myself. That’s what brought me to Neurology and headache care.”

How would you describe your approach to working with patients with headache disorders?

“I treat each person the way I’d treat my own family—with compassion, respect, and integrity. I listen to their story, and I work with them to find what actually helps. Whether that’s a CGRP inhibitor, lifestyle changes, or procedural treatments. I try my best to meet patients where they are and help them navigate forward.”

What is one common myth you’d like to dispel about migraine or headaches?

“It’s just a headache.” Migraine is not the same for everyone. It’s a complex neurological disease, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. When we take the time to personalize care, people can find real relief—and live their life as they hope to be.”

What is your life like outside of work? What do you love to do?

“Life is as unpredictable as a migraine attack, so I try to enjoy and savor every moment I can. I enjoy spending time with my two-year-old son, family and friends. I love to cook (and eat!) a lot. I love to travel and explore new places. As they say, “Treasure the moments that take your breath away.””

Tell me a little bit about your career path from undergrad to migraine care.

“I got my bachelor’s in Neuroscience from UC Riverside, then my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from Western University of Health Sciences.  I started in the ER and worked across Plastic Surgery, Urology, and Sleep Medicine, but Neurology kept calling me back.

All the skills I learned—Botox from plastics, nerve blocks/trigger point injections from the ER—came together in headache care.  It’s where I knew I could have the biggest impact.”

What is your message to people with migraine?

“Don’t give up. Whatever your story is—stress, health struggles, missed diagnoses—I want you to know you’re not alone. I’m here to listen, and I hope you’ll let me help.”
