Dr. Barbara Lee Peterlin, DO

It pays incredible dividends to your own health to have a neurologist like Dr. Peterlin who actually was fellowship trained in headache and WANTS to and can treat you utilizing the best and most current options available. Life-changing!!

I’ve had migraines since I was about 3 years old. I’ve worked with specialists and neurologists my entire life. In less than 6 months, Dr. Peterlin has controlled my migraines from 15+ of severe migraines to 5 mild a month and we’re just getting started and continuously adjusting. It is amazing. If you’re suffering, you don’t have to. Dr. Peterlin truly cares and will hear you and help you every step of the way.

I highly highly recommend Dr. Peterlin. I went from having chronic migraines to one migraine every 2-3 months because of her amazing care! She even suggested I could now follow up just with my family doc but there is no way I will give up having her as a doctor at least once a year. I trust her and appreciate her. Thank you so much Dr. Peterlin!

Dr. Peterlin is an amazing Neurologist that I am blessed to have as my headache specialist. She not only is a highly educated practitioner in the field of headaches, but she is passionate about the topic and is willing to share her immense knowledge and research with not only her patients, but the rest of the medical community around the world. it is very difficult to find a Doctor Who takes the time to continuously stay up-to-date on the topic of headaches through literature reviews. She utilizes this information through her incredible evidence based practice. She is objective in finding the most efficacious treatment plan for her patients through her methodical approach to how she asks questions and assesses the answers. Her willingness to take on myself as a patient has changed the way I manage my migraine, but also how I am able to live my life pain-free. Thank you, Dr Peterlin!

I suffered with chronic migraine and saw numerous doctors without any significant relief until I saw Dr. Peterlin. She is A-MAZ-ing! In a world where doctors rush you in and out she never makes me feel rushed and was the first doctor who helped me get significant relief. I no longer have chronic migraine and when I have an attack I now can control them and have no fear I won't be able to do what I want to do. I would follow her anywhere. God Bless Dr. Peterlin!!

We brought my daughter to see Dr. Peterlin thanks to her family doctor recommending her and after seeing another neurologist who did not have any more options to offer us. She went from having daily headaches and missing school to graduating and now starting a new job and in large part its thanks to Dr. Peterlin and helping us control her migraines. Thank you Dr. P!!

Thanks to Dr. Peterlin I went from having 22 or more headache days every month down to to just 1-2 migraines per month- and those are easily treatable! I had given up hope that would ever happen for me. It has changed my life and am forever grateful to her and her team. I have never had a doctor who spent so much time helping me and actually listening to my goals. She is brilliant and caring and one of a kind!

It’s amazing how many other doctors I saw before Dr. Peterlin. She did in 3 months what 6 other doctors couldn’t or wouldn’t do. She really took the time to explain to me how to manage my migraines for my individual attacks and to have less of them as times went by and how they differed from what I would do when they were less frequent. My life is so much better thanks to Dr. P. Migraines are not a daily or even weekly thought now and I can’t thank her enough!! God bless!

Dr Peterlin at the Pennsylvania Headache Center is outstanding. I have had migraines for decades, been treated by a myriad of clinicians, and tried dozens of different treatments and medications. She is the first neurologist to do an in depth assessment, and most importantly to take me seriously, and look at the total person which includes a patient's support system. She always seems to have options available to improve or enhance treatment. Most importantly, she has never once "given up" on me or felt that we were "at the end of the road". This has truly been a partnership between doctor and patient! If you suffer with migraines - the PA Headache Center is where you want to go for treatment.

Dr Peterlin did in 3 months what 2 other neurologists couldn’t do in 10 months! What she did was night and day difference from the other neurologists! My daughter had severe migraines almost everyday for 10 months, had to drop out of school, couldn’t take noise or bright light! She has maybe 1 headache a week and gets it under control in 3-4 hours! Incredible! Not only is she excellent in what she does, she is the kindest and most caring doctor you will have the pleasure to work with! Thank you Dr Peterlin for helping my daughter!!
