Kaitlin Keenan, MD

Dr. Kaitlin Keenan is a neurologist who specializes in caring for patients with headache, including migraine, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (extremely painful one-sided headaches alongside other symptoms such as a watering or drooping eye) and other rare headache disorders. She believes that shared decision making is essential for managing chronic pain conditions and aims to partner with patients to achieve their goals. She has experience with a variety of treatment strategies including hospital-administered infusions for refractory (resistant to treatment) headache conditions. She has special interests in women’s health, psychology and psychosocial determinants of health as they relate to headache medicine.

Keenan earned her medical degree at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. She completed a residency in neurology at Rush University Medical Center and a fellowship in headache medicine at UCSF. She is a member of the American Academy of Neurology and the American Headache Society.

In her free time, Keenan is an avid fiction reader and enjoys exploring California's natural wonders with her dog.
