Jeffrey Royce's Online Review Report Card

Best migraine dr around. Only person that’s ever actually helped mine.

Having worked in healthcare for 14 years, I know how damaging a negative review can be to a medical practice so I do not write this lightly. I have had chronic migraines since Jan 2011 and saw Dr. Royce from Nov 2011 to Dec 2020. He was personable, appeared to be knowledgeable, and shared that he was a migraineur himself. His staff were caring and courteous. Sometime in 2012, I was put on topiramate. I thought I was having side effects such as word finding difficulties and discussed this with Dr. Royce, but he told me that I was not experiencing side effects because I was on too low of a dose to have side effects. Within the next year, venlafaxine was added on. This was eventually switched to desvenlafaxine due to side effects. I would be on this regimen, along with rescues and muscle relaxers, for the next 10 years. In Dec 2013, I started having trouble thinking/concentrating, daytime fatigue, memory problems, speech problems, balance issues, muscle spasms, blurred vision, and worsened migraines. I went to many specialists and PCPs but none could figure out why I was experiencing these symptoms, which caused me progressive disability. I lost at least 2 jobs due to the trouble thinking and totaled 3 cars due to falling asleep driving. In Dec 2020, I started having a constant migraine, at which point Dr. Royce referred me to Diamond Headache Clinic. That experience was not helpful at all and caused me further medical harm. I went to Mayo Clinic in Apr 2022 for a second opinion, where I was told that the interaction and side effects of topiramate and desvenlafaxine were causing my symptoms. As soon as I started tapering off of topiramate and desvenlafaxine, it's as if the fog had lifted off the nightmarish existence of the past 8.5 years. My migraine symptoms reduced to a dull headache, I became more awake, I could think and concentrate better, my speech improved, my balance issues disappeared, and my muscle spasms were gone as well. It's infuriating to know that my medications were mismanaged for 10 years, and that it all started with Dr. Royce. If Dr. Royce puts you on topiramate or venlafaxine/desvenlafaxine BE VERY CAREFUL. Learn from my experience! He does have a good bedside manner, but that can be deceiving. Look at what happened to me. The amount of money I spent on my "treatment" is disgusting. I could have been saving for my son's college or retirement. But instead, I paid thousands, if not tens of thousands towards my own disability.

Dr. Royce is the best! He does not give up, he keeps trying different things to help you. He listens and respects your opinion and decisions. Please make him your first choice, you won't regret it!

Dr. Royce is, hands down, best doctor ever. I have always been able to talk to him and get things resolved. Seeing him is like trusted family. Would not ever consider changing doctors. He also has great staff. I love them all. Happy Nurses Day to Cindy, Ruth and everyone else on Dr. Royce’s team. You are the best!

I love this man! After 4 decades of suffering from headaches I finally have answers. Thank you Dr. Royce!!

Very intelligent,patient,listens to me, and answers all my questions. Amazing

Dr. Royce is first of all a wonderful person. He is always upbeat and has a smile on his face. His office is very welcoming and his nurses are excellent. Dr. Royce's knowledge of Migraines is tremendous. I have probably been seeing Dr. Royce for headaces for about 8 years. I have no idea what shape I would be in without him. He has diagnosed and prescribed medicines that help me lead a normal live. Before Dr. Royce, migraines had taken over my life. I always leave his office feeling upbeat myself. I would highly recommend Dr. Royce for any headache treatment. I have several friends who now see him on a regular basis.

This is the first doctor who has truly cared for me and my wife. He goes above and beyond. His beside manor is wonderful and makes you feel comfortable. I wish all the doctors I see where this great and understanding.

Dr. Royce now has a headache clinic, but I would trust him with a stubbed toe or a heart attack (LOL!). He is kind, compassionate. You never feel rushed and always gets to bottom of the problem. He is what all Doctors should aspire to be.
