MR.MINKUS is the first doctor I felt has ever truly listened to me. I never felt rushed with my appointments, he genuinely cares he has such a big heart you feel like your visiting family that got all the right degrees! I’ve changed jobs and I continue to make sure he stays as my doctor. Only sad part is now my only free days are Saturday and Sunday and his office is closed. But I’d recommend him to everyone.
