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.

Treated my husband and myself for many years. He knows the dynamics of this marriage relationship and is able to communicate our health needs to each of us. Nice knowing you have the luxury of quality time with your physician.

from Ed in LA February 6, 2014 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky makes informed decisions based on facts and current medical data. He practices preventitive medicine first, reducing the need for curative measures. I recently had a diagnostic test using a different doctor and realized how lucky I was to have a doctor with good communication skills willing to explain a plan of action before moving forward. This is a major reason why his patients… See more

I can't thank my doctor enough. After years muscle and joint issues, he has diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and has it under control enough that I am going to attempt to hike the entire Appalachian trail. He has totally supported me in this endeavor, working with me to be able to pick up my prescriptions along the trail. Since my doctor has joined MDVIP, my healthcare experience is much… See more

Not only my Doctor, but my friend..Dr. Minsky has always been there, night and day. For every issue I have, and listens patiently(with a smile) when I ask him crazy questions, and what if's, and all the things I find on the internet, trying to diagnose myself.
I truly think MDVIP is worth the fee. I get a complete physical every year, which is worth the whole thing. I recommend Mr.… See more

In addition, my blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels have all dropped dramatically to healthy levels! Thank you Dr. Minsky for giving me the… See more
