My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

The doctor-patient relationship is perhaps the most important facet of health care and wellness. Knowing that your physician is going to hear what you have to say is just as important as knowing that he or she will make the correct diagnosis and administer the proper treatment. Having the time and willingness to develop this relationship allows my practice to better serve your healthcare needs both physically and emotionally. We care and are excited that you care also.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Minsky

from David in LA February 28, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky obviously has a passion for medicine and the care of his patients. He has an amazing bedside manner and is so keenly interested in you as a person and as a patient. Of course he talks about your health but he also discusses the latest trends in medicine, nutrition and exercise. He sights medical studies every time I see him (he must do a ton of reading!). His diagnostic skills are… See more

I already knew Dr. Minsky a little before I joined his MDVIP practice from serving on the hospital board where he practices. So, I knew his calm, steady and studied approach. What I was not prepared for was his incredible medical knowledge and complete dedication to his patients. Rarely have I met anyone as knowledgeable as Dr. Minsky. We also travel a lot and are rarely home in Baton… See more

from Andrea in LA March 18, 2018 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

I have always enjoyed, and know that I will continue to enjoy, my visits with Dr. Minsky. I have been a returning patient for years, and there has never been a day where I felt Dr. Minsky was not providing me with the best care and recommendations on how to improve my health. He and his staff are always personable, professional, and proficient. I cannot begin to express the depth of… See more

Louis, you Are the best! Especially on weekends and when I am out of the country and get sick, which lately has been often! Thanks for being there.

from Gail in LA March 5, 2018 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

I am so happy you are my doctor, Louis! My biggest worry in moving to Baton Rouge was finding a doctor that I had easy access to when something popped up. Getting in touch with you is so easy I wonder why I ever worried about it. Thank you more than you know.

from Sydney in LA March 5, 2018 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Happy Doctors' Day! I appreciate greatly the fact that you will respond promptly to any request for advice, even if the request is made on a weekend. Additionally, I am comforted by the fact that you have been so thorough in evaluating each and every complaint I have had.

Thank you for being available to Gail and me whenever you are needed.

from Ferrell in LA March 4, 2018 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Three years ago Dr Minsky noticed in my annual physical that I was anemic. He talked with me extensively about the problem and how he thought we should go about finding the cause. He suggested we do some testing to start eliminating problems that may be causing my anemia. I went though all test Dr Minsky suggested and nothing was found. Dr Minsky, still not satisfied, suggested I see a… See more

from Billie in LA March 4, 2018 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky is second to none, in my humble opinion. He has always been there for me personally and when my husband was dying with lung cancer anytime I needed him during regular hours or after hours.

I would--and do--recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent doctor who treats the whole person, not just his physical ailments. He is the best!
