Dr. Michelle Ann Roda, DO

I have seen Dr. Roda for migraines for more than a year. I had appointments with her about every 3-4 weeks, and each appointment she would ask about the frequency of my migraines and order a new/different medication. I expressed early on that I wanted help identifying migraine triggers, so I could solve the underlying problem and so I didn't have just mask it with medication forever. Each time I would pose that at an appointment, she would dismiss me with a couple questions and a new med idea. One day, she recommended I wean myself off my current daily preventative medication and try samples of a new medication. The new medication seemed to have more side effects, so (within my right as a patient) I decided not to try the samples. When I told her this at my next appointment and stressed I wanted to look more into triggers instead of switching meds each month, Dr. Roda got upset with me. She made it clear she thought my concerns over the new drug's side effects were stupid and snapped… at me, rolling her eyes, saying, "Well what are we even doing here, Grace, honestly?" I've never felt more disrespected, uncomfortable and helpless seeing a physician -- whose goal should be to listen to and care for the patient they commit to heal.

I have been struggling with migraines for years. Dr. Roda was the first doctor to really listen to what I was saying. I found the office staff to he very helpful, always going above and beyond. My migraines have improved so much since I have seen Dr. Roda. I would recommend Dr. Roda to anyone needing help with migraines.

sat in the office for two and a half hours before the doctor came in. only option for my migraines that she gave was giving me Botox. then she said the first two times it would not work. she said the third treatment which was given 24 months after the initial first one would work. she is only out to make money and not help her patients. Visiting this doctor is a total waste of your time. I said in the room 4 over an hour and a half before the doctor came in. That is totally unprofessional! I was given a diagnosis of cluster and migraine headaches since the seventies at the Cleveland Clinic and she tells me I only have migraines just to give me Botox injections. She said that other than the Cleveland Clinic she gave more Botox injections and any other doctor in the state of Ohio. She is only out to get as much money as she can and not help her patients.
