Headache Medicine

The Headache and Facial Pain Program, under the directorship of Deborah I. Friedman, M.D., M.P.H., opened its doors for patient care in 2012. We are one of only a few resources available in North Texas to treat patients with complex headache disorders and have established our Program as a regional leader in headache medicine with referrals from throughout the southwestern United States.
