From a very young age I was instilled with the desire to help others and change lives. As my education progressed, I saw that medicine was used to maintain illness/disease and was never the answer to fix the problem. Later I learned about how the body has the ability to heal itself when it is in proper alignmentbe 20 minutes. This is to ensure less wait times to be seen by our doctor."
through chiropractic care. I graduated from the University of Scranton with a degree in Neuroscience and later from New York Chiropractic College. It amazes me how as a society we forgot how incredible the central nervous system is. As a chiropractor, my drive is to remove any interference allowing your body to heal itself. I grew up with a large and loving family who taught me how important it is to invest in our children. This is why I focus on educating parents of the benefits of chiropractic for their children. I want to provide care to the pediatric population during the most important years of development to promote true health and wellness. After furthering my education in pediatrics I soon learned the Webster Technique and want to provide care during pregnancy as well. My goal is to be as educated and skilled to be able to deliver the best chiropractic care for my patients in the Westwood and Manhattan areas.

Wonderful — recommended him to my friends.
January 10, 2020James K.Verified patient
Dr. Minuski was the first chiropractor I ever saw and made sure to explain the entire process to make me feel comfortable. I’ve been seeing him for the last three months and have seen so much progress. He doesn’t try to make you get unneeded services and encourages patients to try to spread out treatments as progress is made. You can also tell that he is extremely passionate about what he does.
January 1, 2020Katie R.Verified patient
I am a "retired" college athlete (volleyball and track & field) and originally started seeing Dr. Minuski for pain in my hip as I was running nearly 30 miles a week. After just a few visits I was already feeling 95% better. The wait time was non-existent and his bedside manner was awesome. He truly wanted to get to know you in order to help treat you better. As a current student seeking a master's degree in public health, the city needs more doctors like Dr. Minuski.
December 12, 2019Miranda H.Verified patient
I had such a great experience! He is so caring and really takes the time to listen. I can already feel the difference in my back/neck/head and today is the first day in over a week that I haven’t had a migraine. I’ve gone to lots of chiropractors and I can honestly say he is one of the best out there!
November 27, 2019Tracy M.Verified patient
Great bedside manner, great office, and so far seems to be great treatment for back pain as of one appointment so far. Would recommend!
November 15, 2019Mathew J.Verified patient
Dr. Minuski is wonderful! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, professional and attentive, he is also very caring, down to earth and personable. It's clear to see how passionate he is about his work. I saw him many times whilst pregnant for the Webster technique. He took the time to fully explain every step of the process and ensure I felt comfortable throughout. It was a great experience. I'm so happy that my family has found a chiropractor that we will continue to use in the future and I cant wait to bring my little one for his first visit!
November 9, 2019Amanda F.Verified patient
Dr Minuski is a great doctor! Within a few weeks of treatment, my back pain significantly improved. I enjoy my visits with him and always leave feeling very relaxed!

It seemed to help me immediately
November 3, 2019Jose J.Verified patient
Very attentive. Not looking to have you come 5 days a week. Listens to what ails you and then does a through exam. Recommends other measures as necessary. Very competent and great bedside manner.
November 1, 2019Anthony P.Verified patient
My visit was great. This was the first time visiting a chiropractor in general and Richard was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. He explained his findings and walked me through every step. I left feeling relief but will be returning for once a weeks until all the pain is gone.
October 7, 2019William R.Verified patient
Fantastic! This was my first experience with a chiropractor, and Dr Minuski took time to explain everything to me (both my issues and what the interventions would be). He took the time to listen to and thoroughly understand the issues I was having. He ensured I was comfortable throughout, and was both professional and approachable. I can’t believe I have been living with discomfort for so long! Cannot recommend highly enough.
September 18, 2019Kelley A.Verified patient
This was my first chiropractic visit and Dr. Minuski made it the best first visit ever. After assessing my body he explained why I was having the pains I have. Then he went into cracking my body away. It was fun and relieving. It's been 4 hours since my visit and I feel great. I will definitely go back!

I was a bit nervous going in but he took his time to explain everything to me and it was reassuring to have him take that time to answer any questions. I will definitely be going back to him.
August 27, 2019Tony C.Verified patient
Dr. Minuski is definitely the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to! He really listened attentively to my chief complaints, and truly seemed eager to help me feel better. He is not in a rush, has a calm and friendly demeanor and is very knowledgable. I am a health care practitioner (massage therapist), and I will definitely be referring patients to his office.

July 30, 2019Eric Q.Verified patient
Zero wait time, explained my situation in terms I could understand, thoroughly examined my back/shoulder and neck. Adjusted my back which not all doctors do on the first visit.
Didn’t try and sell me a grand package that would fix my issues like my old doctor on Central Park West.

Dr. Minuski is, by far, the best and most effective chiropractor I’ve ever been treated by. I always leave feeling better than when I came in— I can already feel major improvements in my neck and back and it’s only been 3 months! Not to mention, he’s attentive and easy to talk to.
Highly recommend Dr. Minuski to anyone looking to feel their best.
July 29, 2019Olivia O.Verified patient
Dr Rich is THE best. Myself, my husband and our 3.5 year old have been seeing him for 2 years now. We all have different “issues” that we primarily see Dr Rich for, and he is so knowledgeable in helping us all feel the best we can. His bedside manner is amazing ... he’s super caring and funny and down to earth. We all look forward to our visits with Dr Rich and highly recommend him.
