Dr. Robert Minkowsky is excellent. He was able to help me with my upper back and neck pain when two PTs before him and and orthopedic doctor failed to do so. I would highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr.Robert Minkowsky for over 3 years for a complex lumbar spine issue. This doctor is by far, the best doctor I know. He is extremely knowledgeable with all facets of the back and approaches everything with his vast experience and whole body approach. His compassion, professionalism and sense of humor bring a smile to my face every time I visit. More importantly, I leave his office feeling better than when I arrived. I owe this man a great deal of gratitude 🙏🏼 thank you.

I‘m 51, and I was having some pain in my right hip where it felt like the joint was slightly popping out of place, and I would have to sit down for a few minutes until it eased its way back into the correct place. I also had a sort of stuck, painful feeling behind my right knee as well that felt like it was affecting a tendon there. I set up an appointment with Robert Minkowsky, who did a thorough review of everything that could be affecting the area. He gave me about six, simple exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding it. I told him I had arthritic knees, and he adjusted the exercises to work with that limitation. The exercises were simple enough to complete in about 8 minutes per day. The first day after I first did the exercises, the stuck feeling behind my knee disappeared and has not returned. So I was pretty impressed with that! I did the exercises nearly daily for a month before I went back for a follow-up. Dr. Minkowsky tested my strength, and we could both tell it had really improved since my previous visit. He gave me a few, more advanced exercises to replace the first set, and told me I didn‘t need to come back unless I have a problem. My hip joint has not popped out of place since the first week doing the exercises, and my knee is totally fine. So thanks, Dr. Robert! I was afraid I would need a hip replacement or something, but it was just muscle weakness, and I was pleasantly surprised with the easy fix.
