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.

Congratulations Best Doctor in America for 2014. You have certainly proved it to Tom and I many times. Thank you for being so readily availble, professional and friendly in the office and any time we call at odd hours. We look forward to being treated by the Best Doctor in America for a long, long time. Again, congratulations!!!!1

from Lyman in LA October 7, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky has been my wife's doctor for approximately 26 years and mine for 22 years. In all that time, he has never made an incorrect diagnosis on either of us. He is endlessly patient with my chatterbox wife and seems to always ask the right questions when we are trying to explain ailments, injuries, and so forth. He comes up with solutions to our problems that we had never considered… See more

Dr. Minsky has been our physician for many years and when he joined MDVIP we joined with him.

As you can see from the picture, we have five young grandchildren and we are anxious to be able to enjoy them. Since we are in our early 70's, we want to stay healthy for them. Of course being around them they have sometimes given us some of their unhealthy bugs. Dr Minsky has responded… See more

from Billie in LA February 23, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

I appreciate the opportunity to tell others what I think of my doctor, Louis Minsky. He has been my primary care physician for 20+ years, and I really wouldn't consider using anyone else. Not only is he my doctor, he is my friend.

The first time I ever saw Dr. Minsky as a physician was for my then teenage daughter, Ashley, who was tired all the time, and her pediatrician told us… See more

from Gloria in LA February 22, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

My experience with MDVIP through Dr. Minsky has been a positive one. Fortunately, I am usually healthy and my visits to the doctor are few and far between. In September 2011, shortly after enrolling in MDVIP, I experienced terrific pain in my right upper leg. I went to see Dr. Minsky and he began treating me. Over the next week my pain grew steadily worse until I was confined to bed. I… See more

from John P in LA February 22, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation to Dr. Minsky for the exceptional care we have received from him over the years. It is always comforting to know that he is always available on short notice and we can reach him anytime.
I am especially grateful to him and his staff, especially Kim and Lisa, when I recently had a medical emergency while I was 2,000 miles from home. He… See more

from Lonny G. in LA February 13, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

My wife and I feel most fortunate to have been patients of Dr. Minsky almost from the beginning of his practice in Baton Rouge. Joining his mdvip practice was a must for us. Our experience since joining his wellness and follow-up programs has resulted in saving my life (Lonny), and possibly my wife Joyce's life with the close attention we received from Dr. Minsky, his staff, his… See more

from Lyman & Rachel in LA February 11, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky has been our doctor for 25 years, except for a short break caused by insurance difficulties in 1994-1995. Needless to say, we tried very hard not to become ill during that gap! He is one of the rare doctors who not only cares about his patients, but also listens to what they say and what they do not say. It is such a blessing to have a doctor whose judgment we trust and who we… See more

I will always remember the conversation I had with Dr. Minsky when he told me he was going into the MDVIP program. It sounded like the kind of health care I wanted and I really thought I was loosing my doctor. You know the saying if you like your doctor you can keep him. I wanted to keep Louis as my doctor but now I was loosing him to this new program. My fears was short lived as he invited me… See more
