Reviews from his Patients

Dr. Minotti is brilliant. I was due to schedule rotator cuff surgery. He was able to heal my shoulder. No surgery and no downtime. Recently I had an angry wrist and Dr. Minotti was able to heal it quickly. They are amazing!!!! Autumn Cundiff

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mom who is a patient here. She raves about Dr. Philip. She had gone in for frozen shoulder and back pain, and is currently undergoing OMT (osteopathic manipulative therapy). After a few treatments, she experienced significant improvements, and she attributes them to “Dr. Philips magic hands”. Not only is he kind and intelligent, but it is very evident that he genuinely cares about his patients. Bottom line: I would highly recommend Dr. R Philip. Maryam

Dr. Minotti is a miracle worker, besides being a very kind and humble doctor. After receiving my PRP treatment one year ago by him and healing for a few months, my back pain has regressed to what it was 10 years ago, which is pretty much nothing!! So not only did he fix my current problem, with his advice, my back is even stronger now. I don't even give walking or standing for hours a second thought these days. Just prior to my PRP treatment, sometimes I couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes without my sciatica pain causing me to sit or bend down to get relief. I was scared of most chairs as well. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Minotti, as well as his wonderful and patient staff!! Susie Shankwitz

Dr. Philip's work in OMT has not only helped to relieve neck pain I had dealt with for years, it is obvious he truly cares for the well-being of his patients through his careful listening and willingness to offer recommendations and guidance. Jennifer F

Dr Minotti and staff have been helping my patients for years with regenerative medicine therapy. All have had a fabulous experience, I guess fate had it that it was finally my turn. 10 years ago I had a knee injury that I never sought attention for - young, broke, ignorant I just kept on keeping on. Well, a few weeks back it finally said enough is enough. After my consultation, I got an MRI and we had a discussion about the best procedure to help my knee heal. I just completed my first treatment with him, and while tender in some areas, I have hope for the first time in years that my knee might actually get back to being normal. Thank you Dr Minotti and staff for being an incredible team. I am blessed beyond measure with the service you provide. Joey Kramer

Significant difference in my strength after the treatment!! I wasn't sure how much difference the prp could make, but I thought worth a try. I would have been pleased with half the improvement I received. I'm amazed at the difference 8 weeks after treatment. Dr Minotti is more like a super smart brother, that answers questions in a friendly manner, the way only experts can!Michele I

I had struggled with pain in my shoulder as well as low back, hip/sacral area for several years before meeting Dr. Minotti.I had spent quite a bit of time, enegy and financial resources on visits with other doctorsand chiropractors before meeting the team at North Texas Musculoskeletal. I consider myself to be a pretty active inliidual and was very disappointed that I was having to refrain from many types of activities that I enjoyed because the pain was so limiting. It even got to a point where picking up my infant was nearly impossible at times. After treatment with PRP, I was able to slowly ease back into normal exercises and activities that I had missed. I have such high regards for Dr. Minotti and recommend PRP to many that are suffering from pain and would like a more natural approach where our own body can do as it was designed and help heal itself.Charity B.

I am so grateful for Dr. Minotti and his staff! After 10 years of dealing with a painful musculoskeletal injury, Dr. Minotti‘s prolotherapy has made an incredible difference in my life. His skill in how he administers treatment is wonderful — gentle, effective, and always making it as comfortable as possible. Thank you, NTXMSK! Anna F

I have had shoulder pain for 10+ years and was recently told that I'd need a complete shoulder replacement. A friend recommended that I see Dr Minotti before doing any surgery. Thankfully, I did. Dr Minotti did PRP on my right shoulder 8 weeks ago. The whole thing only took about an hour and was relatively painless(a few injections). My shoulder feels better than it has in 10 years. I still have a small amount of pain but NOTHING like before the PRP. He also said that it will continue to get better for another month or so. I couldn't be happier with the results and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone see him if you're having joint pain. Dr Minotti is a lifesaver for me!Rick T

Dr. Philip is seriously amazing! I came in with ongoing back pain I had since almost 10 years ago that just wouldn't go away. It got worse ever since I had my baby but after working with him, I finally got real relief. His OMM skills are on a whole different level. He was super gentle but effective, and I left the appointment feeling so much better than I had in a long time. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping his patients heal, not just treating the symptoms. I'm so thankful I found him and would recommend him to anyone dealing with pain or tension. I feel like a completely different person when I walked out of the clinic and I'm so excited to go back next month! Esther B

Dr Minotti answered my questions in a way that easy to understand. The procedure went exactly as described and the results are excellent. My knee is pain free for the first time in a long time.Lance G

I cannot say enough positive things about this provider. After nearly 16 years of chronic pain due to a stress fracture that rubbed on my Achilles tendon, I finally found relief! ONE treatment of Platelet Rich Plasma solved this issue.Regenerative Orthopedics should be the best practice standard!! Thank you, Dr. Minotti!Teresa C
