Dr. Dave Bonfessuto received his undergraduate degree in Pharmacy from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1990.  After obtaining relief from persistent headaches through Chiropractic care, Dr. Bonfessuto’s interest in this branch of medicine increased.  He went on to receive a Doctorate of Chiropractic and now maintains a private practice in Dallas, Texas with an emphasis on musculoskeletal pathology, post operative rehabilitation, and clinical nutrition.
