Dr Naeger nailed my treatment on the first try. Topomax for my chronic migraines and now they are 99% GONE. I was having 20+ migraines a month, thought this was it, this was life now, my friend recommended him, and now I only have headaches when I miss a dose. Incredible. Fantastic. I have my life back, man.
