"May 8th marks three years since I had my migraine surgery, and I have been migraine free ever since. I suffered with debilitating migraines for over 15 years, trying everything just to allow myself to function each day. Then, I heard of Dr. Branch and the migraine surgery that he offered. I thought, "why not?" Now, I think "why didn't I do this sooner?" When people call for advice on migraine surgery, I tell them without hesitation to visit Dr. Branch. This surgery changed my life, and I want anyone who suffers from constant migraines to know that there truly is hope for a cure."

"I had suffered with migraine headaches for over sixteen years by the time I listened to a radio advertisement about the Northeastern Migraine Surgery Center in Bangor. Before having Migraine surgery with Dr. Branch, I was taking three types of medication per day to prevent migraines, migraine relief medications several times per week, and occasionally migraine relief shots for more severe attacks. I had my surgery in 2007, and since then I've remarried and enjoy my life without the daily dose of medications for migraines. I feel less tired, spend more time with my family, and miss less work days due to headaches. I still have a migraine episode from time to time, but the pain is much more manageable and much less frequent. Before my surgery I was just trying to get by each day and now I’m living a much more enjoyable life! I’m truly grateful for everything Dr. Branch has done for me!"

"They're debilitating...they're crippling," Brawn said of her headaches, "But now I get up and face the day pain-free." "I would do the surgery again tomorrow," "I was not able to function. I missed out on a lot of fun times with family because I was so sick, and now I'm not. I am so grateful to Dr. Branch and his staff for helping me get my life back."
