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 Kelley in LA February 10, 2024 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Long standing relationship with Dr.Minsky. Saved my bacon numerous times. He’s one of a kind. I appreciate everything he does and has done in the past. Wish every Dr was like him. Credit to the profession.

from Margaret-Ann in LA January 20, 2024 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Louis Minsky: He is exceptionally good in any visit, phone conversation or encounter. He is the best!

from Janice in LA January 18, 2024 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

We are retired, in our 70’s and have some chronic conditions requiring specialists. Our doctor is amazing coordinating all the providers. We have a second home spending half the year there. However, we keep our Baton Rouge home. Why? We don’t want to lose our amazing VIP doctor, Louis Minsky. Many times we have texted him with a picture of some issue, and he is immediately back to us. His… See more

Dr Minsky has been my PCP for many years and has been there with me through several health crises. We both grew up in the same small town and usually have some catching up on mutual acquaintances and news about familiar places in that small town to start my appointment. However, Dr Minsky keeps me focused on my health journey by highlighting my successes and offering suggestions to counteract… See more

from Ed in LA March 14, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky considers the past, present and future health goals. His experience allows for good judgement about whether to call something into the pharmacy or have you come into the office. He has encouraged proactive management for maintaining healthy lifestyle and health goals.

from Cynthia in LA March 12, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky became my primary care doctor quite by accident. When he was rotating and looking for a home at the clinic I went to I was asked if I minded if he sat in on my appt with my then physician. I said I didn't not and from then on, he has been my doctor from my primary care physician to mine and my husband's MDVIP Physician. He treated all 3 of my children as well as my husband and… See more

from Christine in LA March 11, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

The multiple issues I have does not deter Dr Minsky from always coordinating my care. He is easy to reach night or day. When I have to go to another Dr, a specialist, it’s frustrating waiting a month to get an appt.
I really appreciate that Dr Minsky is willing to communicate with my two sons

from Howard in LA March 10, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

Having known Dr. Minsky, both professionally and personally, for over 20+ years I have come to hold him in very high regard.
He continues to amaze me with his dedication, professionalism, and humility.
Thank you Dr. Minsky.

from Gail in LA February 29, 2020 for Louis R. Minsky, MD

What peace of mind we have with you as our primary care doctor! You are easy to contact, listen to what we have to say, answer our questions completely and follow through so thoroughly. We hope you don't even think about retiring while either of us is still alive! Thanks you so much for being an exemplary physician. It's comforting to know you are holding our hands as we journey through… See more

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
