About Portland Headache & Facial Pain

Focused, expert-level care for a category of conditions that deserves it.

Our story

Why Dr. Zatt Started This Practice

Board-certified headache medicine specialists are rare, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. For patients living with migraines, chronic headaches, or facial pain, that shortage often means waiting for long periods, or settling for more non-specific treatment.

Dr. Michael Zatt founded Portland Headache & Facial Pain to change that. This practice is exactly as the name implies. We provide accurate diagnosis and management for headaches and facial pain disorders to patients across Oregon and Washington.

Our Mission

To provide expert-level care for individuals suffering from headaches and facial pain.

Dr. Michael Zatt, DO

Dr. Michael Zatt is a board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained headache medicine specialist. He grew up in northeast Ohio and met his wife in Kansas City, Missouri while attending medical school. Together, they moved to Portland, Oregon in 2022 and quickly put down roots in the community. Dr. Zatt’s career in medicine is fueled by his passion for improving the quality of life for individuals suffering from headaches and facial pain disorders. Outside the clinic, he finds balance by spending time outdoors, enjoying everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

What Sets Dr. Zatt's Approach Apart

Dr. Zatt built this practice around one thing: the management of headache and facial pain disorders. He owns and operates it directly, so patients get direct access to expert-level care from a board-certified headache medicine specialist, rather than a general practice that treats headache as one item on a long list. That access matters more than ever, as the shortage of board-certified headache specialists continues, both nationally and regionally.
