I have had back and leg pain and sought treatment with another group. An MRI done in August of 2007 showed herniated discs. The other doctor had me go to 3 different therapy places and had me on several different medications. I still had numbness and severe pain after 8 months. They sent me to their injection doctor and he wanted me to change medications and go to yet another PT location. I looked at him and said just give me my MRI films and I was going elsewhere.
I contacted Beacon and set up an appointment with Dr. Brannan. Within 25 minutes he sugessed I do the spinal injections. I got my first one and the results were unbelievable. I had very little pain and no numbness in my left leg. I could stand up straight and walk without haveing to stop every 30 feet and squat down because of the pain I had. I did the follow up visit and received another injection. When I went back for my follow up, Dr. Brannan asked me if I ever had stomach surgery as he was measuring something on my MRI. I said no and looked over his shoulder and asked if that was my aorta. He replied yes and that I needed to get an ultrasound asap. He wrote a perscription for me and I had it done the next morning. I was shocked to find out I had aortic aneurysm READY TO RUPTURE! I had the open AAA repair done on July 18,2008 by Dr.Moreira.
The reason for this letter is that I spent 8 months in pain with no positive results let alone seeing the AAA until I saw Dr. Brannan. I want to say that DR.BRANNAN not only fixed the disc problem but also saved my life by not having tunnel vision. He looks at the whole picture when treating a patient. I am so impressed and grateful that I changed doctors, and was lucky enough to have Dr. Brannan for my doctor. I have and will always tell everyone of my experience and reccomend Dr. Brannan and Beacon Orthopaedics for any orthopedic/spine needs.I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Beacon is the best!

I am glad a friend referred me to Beacon. I was suffering great back pain. I had had two previous back surgeries, one with rods, several years ago. I had physical therapy and tests, none of which relieved the pain. Dr. Brannan had diagnosed me with Stenosis and Scoliosis and referred me to Dr. Rodway for a surgical consult. I knew I was headed for a wheelchair if I didn't have something done. I am so thankful for Dr. Rodway and Dr. Chunduri. They operated (2-3)times adding up to 15+hours. I am now out of pain, I stand a lot straighter and for longer periods of time. They have given me my life back. I am starting to get back to activities I had to give up. I have been able to travel again. Life is good. I thank the good Lord also.
