Review for Dr. Falanga

Ishaq and his team performed two surgeries on my leg after I was hit by a car. He himself was very personable and the whole team was just fantastic, and the work they did was beautiful. I’m thankful I can be the first one to leave a review here and get him the 5 stars he deserves!
