The doctor communicated very well, stating things multiple times and asking if I had any questions multiple times. I found the visit to be very calming and open. I felt able to talk about myself and my concerns and left feeling good and clear about the plan for my health going forward.edy david2023-09-21Of the dozens of doctors I have visited, Dr. Torphy is among the best. His bedside manner is impeccable. Dr. Torphy's patience, caring and understanding underline his professionalism. As part of my recent initial treatment, he made a follow-up call -- a rarity among today's medical providers -- the following day to ensure my recovery. His high standards extend to staff, including Anne. After she brought me to the examination room during the previously mentioned appointment, Anne dimned the light to ease my dizziness. Dr. Torphy and staff are why I am getting better.
Watch Dr. Torphy Discuss The Chicago Headache Center and Different Types of Headaches.
Headaches We Help Treat
Migraines
Migraine headaches can be painful, causing nausea and / or vomiting, light / sound sensitivity & more.
Tension Headaches
This is the most common type of headache often caused by stress and muscle tension.
Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches can last anywhere from a week to several months and return every year.
How It Works
Our evaluation of new patients involves a detailed history and neurologic evaluation, with additional workup such as specialized imaging or lab work as needed.

“It is indeed a privilege to work alongside patients in the journey toward improved function. I believe the physician-patient partnership is enhanced when patients understand that the physician is truly listening to their concerns.”
