Dr. Falanga (Doc) was a great man and chiropractor. He always took the time to answer my questions starting out. He was a friend and montor. Great sense of humor.

Doc gave me my first adjustment at age 5. Little did I know then it would change the course of my life and lead me to become a chiropractor. Our profession has lost a pioneer for sure.
A good man. Long time family friends. God bless
