About Me

Dr. Adrienne Jóri Birkás is a chief neurologist, specialist in neurology and psychotherapy, with particular expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of headache disorders and neuroimmunological conditions. She primarily sees patients with headaches, migraines, and multiple sclerosis, and also provides care for movement disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia with cognitive decline. Her specialty also extends to the border areas of neurology, including neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology.

Her areas of special interest include primary headache disorders — such as migraine, cluster headache, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias — as well as neuroimmunological diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.

In her work, she combines the latest advances in modern medicine with a holistic approach. She places great importance on building a trusting relationship with her patients, thoroughly exploring their symptoms, and defining a personalised treatment strategy. She firmly believes that healing is not only a science, but also an art.
