Dr. Karen Roos, MD

Dismissive, condescending and lacking empathy. Doctors like her are why people with hidden illnesses don’t seek treatment and continue to suffer. I was a patient of hers at the headache clinic suffering from clusters and migraines which I’d had for over 20 years. She was unresponsive to requests, dragged her feet on needed referrals and once said “You know, you just don’t look like you’re in that much pain, like most other patients. You’re always dressed nicely..” my wife was with me and we were both just floored. One of the nurses suggested we should file a formal complaint against her and that they would provide supporting information - it was that bad. Another Neurologist had said I was exhibiting symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia but she also ignored that. I finally had to go elsewhere for treatment. It was confirmed I have Trigeminal as well as clusters and migraines. The Trigeminal became so bad I had to go on disability and eventually had to have an intrathecal pain pump installed. This was a prime example of how people with invisible illnesses get ignored and abused in the medical system

If I could put a negative I can't believe she's a dr

Dr. Roos failed me miserably. Waste of time and money.
