.about .noScriptHide .nojs-show,.truncated [data-rem],blockquote .truncated-text{ display: initial !important}.no-js-hide,.ellipsis { display: none; }.truncated:after {content: '' !important}

As a physiatrist, I am focused on restoring function and working creatively with people across the spectrum of ability to help them achieve their goals. My philosophy is to meet my patients where they are and to use education on diagnosis and recovery as a way to empower them to maximize activity and quality of life. I believe that movement is medicine, and that we all need a little help sometimes to feel like ourselves and return to healthy and pain-free activity.

I saw Dr. Andrew Minkley for a procedure that was brand new to me so I was nervous. He talked to me through his approach and answered my questions very clearly. During the procedure him & his team checked on me, and made sure I was comfortable and explained every step as they went through it. Great experience from the time I walked in the door to the time I left!
