01 / Meet the founders
Three neurologists. One shared purpose.
In clinics and hospitals, our founders saw patients waiting months for headache care. They built TeleHeadache to make care easier to reach.

Access
A more direct place to begin.
Start on your schedule. No routine referral or live appointment when clinically appropriate.
Understanding the pattern
Your headache story matters.
Your history and experience guide your clinician’s next step.
A structured history is not enough for every patient. Your clinician may recommend an in-person examination, testing, another specialist, or urgent evaluation.
Our principles
Convenience. With clinical responsibility.
Care shaped around you
Your history, preferences, and safety guide treatment.
Independent judgment
Technology organizes your history. A licensed clinician makes every treatment decision. Diagnosis and prescriptions are not guaranteed.
Continuity and privacy
Tracking, refill review, and limited messaging support ongoing care in your portal. Refills require active membership and clinical review.
03 / Safety by design
Knowing when
online care is not enough.
Your clinician reviews warning signs, medicines, allergies, and health conditions, including pregnancy or breastfeeding.
TeleHeadache does not prescribe controlled substances, including opioids or barbiturate-containing medications.
TeleHeadache does not provide emergency care.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for a sudden severe headache, new weakness, difficulty speaking, confusion, fainting, seizure, severe injury, or other urgent symptoms.
Beyond the prescription
Support beyond the prescription.
Our preferred pharmacies can help with insurance approval and delivery. You may also use your regular pharmacy.
TeleHeadache provides cash-pay clinical care, not pharmacy or insurance services. Pharmacies fulfill prescriptions; insurers determine coverage. Messaging is not immediate or emergency care. Video visits cost extra.
04 / Check eligibility
Care that fits your circumstances.

Request availability in my state →Who reviews my assessment?

Does technology make my diagnosis?
No. Technology organizes the information. Your clinician makes diagnostic, treatment, and prescribing decisions.
Can I use TeleHeadache outside Florida?
TeleHeadache is available in Florida. You must be physically located in an authorized service area when receiving care.

Membership includes your initial assessment and ongoing care, including tracking, clinically appropriate refill review, limited messaging, and reassessment.
