Go ahead and ask/mention, but I wouldn't expect most neuros to know from shinola about migraines, much less silent migraine—though most claim/honestly think they know. I bounced around between about a half dozen of them before I (acidentally) found the local "headache guy"—board-certified in Headache Medicine. Likewise was the ENT my wife saw.

Credentials: Not everyone who practices neurology is actually certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, which is the official Neurology board. Not all neurology graduates are even eligible to take the arduous certification examination and only a portion will pass it.
....
Likewise, not everone who claims to be a headache specialist is actually certified in Headache Medicine. The United Council of Neurological Subspecialties (UCNS) is the official accrediting board for headache specialists.
