Frequently Asked Questions

Does Haven offer online migraine appointments in La Jolla?

Yes. Haven offers virtual headache and migraine specialist appointments to eligible adults in California. That means La Jolla residents can begin specialized care remotely rather than needing an in-person appointment for every visit.

Do I need to know exactly what type of migraine I have?

No. Some patients already have a diagnosis, while others are still trying to understand what is causing their headaches. Haven can evaluate headache symptoms whether you are looking for an initial specialist assessment or another perspective on an existing diagnosis.

What happens at my initial appointment?

Your clinician reviews your health history, headache symptoms, possible triggers, and treatments you have already tried. That information is used to create a more individualized headache attack plan, which can include medications, lifestyle guidance, and other appropriate treatment recommendations.

What migraine treatment options does Haven offer?

Treatment depends on your individual needs. Haven's published services include virtual specialist care, medication management, preventive injections, IV care, and other headache treatments. Some procedures require in-person care and may be coordinated as part of your treatment plan.

Will my migraine treatment plan change over time?

It can. Haven tracks how patients are feeling and looks for changes in symptoms, trends, and triggers. Your clinician can use that information to refine the treatment plan rather than treating it as something that never changes.

“I found a prescription that works for me, that does not make me feel worse before it makes me feel better.”

I was able to get an appointment quickly, which, as you know, is huge, and the appointment itself was one of the best medical appointments I've ever had. I was listened to. I was understood. The questions I was asked were so smart. Things were explained in a way that I could understand. I even got suggestions on how to work with my insurance to get the meds I needed covered. I highly recommend checking out Haven.

I cannot say enough about this amazing company. I stumbled across Haven via a Facebook ad. I never respond to FB ads, but I was experiencing excruciating headaches and neck pain that I did not understand at the time. At this point, I had seen several doctors and no one had helped me, or explained the pain to me. So, I made an appointment with Haven. They explained occipital neuralgia to me. For the first time, this excruciating pain I was experiencing was explained in a way that made sense to me. They gave me a plan. This included a supplement regimen backed by science that helps migraines. They gave me several RXmedications and told me when and how to take them when headaches occur. To say I was living in complete hell before this appointment is an understatement. The pain was so horrible I couldn't function. And, I felt so lost and lonely. My anxiety was growing by the day because I thought I would never come out of the cycle of pain. I was spiraling on both a physical and emotional level. A month later and my life is re-normalizing now! I have not had a headache in weeks. And, I know what to do if one comes back. They also referred me to the most amazing spine specialist who will be helping me re-condition my neck so hopefully this never re-occurs in the future. Thank you so much, Haven. You will always hold a very special place in my heart and the gratitude I have for you cannot be conveyed with words

When we moved from Utah, I was panicking about getting my next dose of Botox. Within a week, I was sitting in front of Dr. Hindiyeh for a virtual appointment. And she not only got me back on track with my Botox, thank God, but she looked at everything. She looked at my rescue meds, my history, the stuff I've been living with. And she really listened to me.

I haven't looked back since the treatment nearly fully solved my migraines.I can now go to work without the threat of a migraine debilitating me throughout the day, can play with my kids, I can work out, uh, all because of the recommendation from the team at haven and the treatment. I can't recommend them stronger, and I'm so happy I found them
