Q: looking for a doctor that performs the ONS implantation procedure
Scott,
-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-
I don't know which doctors might be performing the procedure. We really have no way of tracking which doctors provide which treatments.
On the ONSTIM, however, there may not be many who are offering it. For one thing, it's not FDA approved for Migraine yet. Also, since it's not FDA approved, most insurance plans won't cover it.
Welcome again,
Teri

Scott, I just had the procedure and my insurance company paid for it. I live in dallas and the doctor I has many travel to dallas for the procedure! He is training several doctors in this procedure. He uses 4 leads instead of two.
I went from terrible migraines every day to none in 7 weeks. Huge difference!!
He is at the ascendant neuro clinic in dallas. many of the top insurance companies here are covering this procedure now with little or no problem. I can't tell you how much different my life is now.
