Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor, would highly recommend.
Had bulging disc in lower back. Pain rating was very high when started. With Dr. Minges help I am back to doing what was able to do prior to my injury with minimal to no pain. Really appreciate all that he has done to help me continue to doing the things I love.

2 Level Lumbar fusion
From the very first appointment, he was very honest and forthcoming and wasted no time. Considering I have previously having a lumbar fusion very serious after deciding on treatment, and ultimately having another operation. He cleaned up everything from the first operation, fix the new issue and rebuilt the cage around my spine. Within 24 hours of being home from the hospital I was off all medication‘s, had zero side effects and zero complications. I would 100% absolutely recommend Dr. Minges!

Highly recommend
I highly recommend Dr. Minges. He seems to genuinely care for me as a patient, and that is very valuable with a surgery like the one I had. He will help you through the recovery process with real concern for your pain and comfort. Very thankful he was my Doctor. Can’t thank him enough for his eagerness to help me get better.

Dr Minges and staff
I came in for work comp injury after seeing two other doctors I was getting a little worried that the pain and limited movement of my shoulder would never get better. Thanks to Dr Minges he was able to not only show me why I was having the problems but also was able to tell me what could be done to take care of it. Today I’m 90% better thanks to him and his staff they are very professional and compassionate with me and made it easier to understand and help me with my pain. I want to say thank you so much for all they have done I highly recommend them for any of neck pain or injuries .
