About Dr. Addie Peretz, MD
Updated Sep 20, 2026 · next review Dec 19, 2026Dr. Addie Peretz is a neurologist at Stanford who focuses on headache and facial pain. She sees patients at the Stanford Headache Clinic at Hoover Pavilion in Stanford, California, and is listed as a Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology & Neurological Sciences at Stanford.
She studied neuroscience at Brown University, earned her medical degree at New York University School of Medicine, completed an internship at Georgetown in Washington, DC, and then did her neurology residency and a headache and facial pain fellowship at Stanford. Stanford's faculty profile describes her as a board-certified neurologist.
Her work centers on migraine and chronic daily headache. She takes part in clinical trials of new headache treatments and has co-authored published studies on topics such as nerve blocks for migraine in pregnancy, postpartum depression in people with chronic migraine, and spinal fluid leak treatment. She has also spoken publicly about migraine care, including on a WebMD podcast for Migraine Awareness Month.
In CMS Open Payments data for 2021 through 2025, she has no recorded industry payments ($0 across 0 records). Payments from industry are common and legal, so having none is simply a neutral fact about her record.

Worth knowing
- A WebMD directory entry under her name lists a Redwood City location and labels the practice as 'orthopedic surgery and neurology,' which does not match Stanford's own listings. This appears to be a directory data error rather than a different doctor. doctor.webmd.com
- Healthgrades lists her medical school as 'Bellevue Hospital Center / Medical College' (2011), while Stanford's own biography says New York University School of Medicine. Bellevue is an NYU-affiliated teaching hospital, so this looks like a directory labeling difference. healthgrades.com
- The research for this profile did not include a check of the primary American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certificate record, so the board certification status comes from Stanford's profile rather than the board itself. profiles.stanford.edu
- A directory lists her as accepting new patients and offering telehealth, and another aggregator categorizes her as a 'Pain Medicine Specialist - Psychiatrist & Neurologist.' Availability and specialty labels on third-party sites may not be current; check with the clinic. healthgrades.com
