“I have had a lot of pain in my lower

back and neck. Dr. Falkenroth has

worked wonders for me over the last

couple of months. I recommend people

that have back problems to him all the

time. I went to see about five other

doctors before finding Dr. Falkenroth,

all with some results, but not with the

results that Dr. Falkenroth has given

me. I am very happy that I found him

when I did. He’s very, very good at

what he does. He’s also a person who

really cares about his patients….”
