"Dr Minkley LISTENED to what I had to say. He is attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. What he told me about my back pain made sense. I’d recommend him to anyone."
"Dr. Minkley answered my questions, educated me on the anatomy, cause, and treatment options for my injury, and made time for a same-day treatment because of my busy schedule. I received excellent care and would recommend him to everyone."
Lyndey H
"Dr. Minkley was great. He was friendly and very gentle with me and explained everything in a way I could understand. He also got me in quickly, which I very much appreciated since I was experiencing discomfort. I would absolutely go back to him."
