Oh my. Dr. Lane saved my life when I was a kid. I was having a severe allergic reactions to medication and children specialist couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. At an appointment with him he figured out that it was my meds that were making sick and gave instructions on how to filter the toxins out faster. He was my family’s favorite chiropractor and we haven’t found one we’ve loved since. I’m so sorry to here about his passing.
