Deborah L Carver, MD

Dr. Carver’s primary contribution to UT Health San Antonio is service to her patients. The majority of her clinical responsibilities are treating general neurology and headache patients at her daily MARC clinics. She is one of only 570 board- certified Headache Specialists, and the only one practicing in San Antonio. Dr Carver also serves as the director of the Headache Clinic at UTHSA, Dr. Carver works to ensure comprehensive headache care based on the patient‘s symptoms and personal preferences. To provide the best treatment, often, this includes incorporating multidisciplinary care by referring patients to other UTHSA providers in pain management, psychiatry, and physical therapy. A vital feature of the comprehensive care that we offer at UTHSA Headache Clinic is our interrogative approach to headache treatment. This approach includes searching for underlying inflammatory causes of their headaches and educating our patients on conservative ways to decrease the frequency and severity of their headaches.

Dr. Carver has established a reputation beyond UTHSA for her knowledge of headache medicine and the ketogenic lifestyle, which has allowed her to broaden her service to the community, UTHSA, and her patients.

Lastly Dr Carver has recently been made the director the Neurology Clerkship for the third medical students attending Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine.
