Chang Liu2023-02-06I’m grateful to have met Dr Belaga and his staff on my migraine journey. He’s simply one of the most helpful, efficient and compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. With Dr Belaga’s advice and help, I was able to try different types of migraine treatments and found what worked for me. More importantly, I really feel like he’s advocating for me and doing whatever it takes to help me, including fighting with insurance. His staff are also extremely kind, flexible and responsive. I highly recommend this office for anyone seeking migraine prevention and relief.

Evan G2018-03-1912 years of migraines vs Dr. Belaga, and Dr. Belaga won. I suffered from jaw/neck/headache/migraine issues for years and was truly hopeless. I've been to Belaga's office a few times for adjustments and he *always* makes time to see me ASAP. I am in good hands and wish that I had found him sooner. If you are suffering from migraines, you don't have to anymore.
