When I first chose Dr. Minton for my internist, I startled him by saying: "Doctor, I am counting on you to take me into my dotage." That was at least 25 years ago and now that I am 85 he has done so. In fact, Dr. Minton has said I might live to be 100. To which I have replied: "Doc, do you really think that is a good idea?"
My husband has ongoing health problems but was having a particularly bad time when Dr. Minton and his family went on vacation to a very far away country. To my amazement, he called my husband every day he was away to make sure the situation was in hand. We are eternally grateful.
Dr. Minton has been our Dr. forever. He took the time to get to know us and thus our care has been excellent. Having several health issues, he has been my command central. I feel so comfortable with his thoughtful and caring advice. All the specialists he has recommended have been great too. Thanks Dr. Minton.... and Carrie too (who is fantastic as well)

I think that he has made a real impact on my health and the quality of my life. Since joining MDVIP, he has been able to devote more time to my care and our visits are through and unhurried. I am very happy to have Dr. Minton as my physician.

Also, Dr. Minton continues to follow me closely after the recommended chemotherapy received for… See more
Whenever I meet with Dr. Minton, I find his diagnoses and recommendations to be extremely thorough. In addition to that, he also takes all the time necessary to provide you the background and history of the issues at hand. I never feel rushed or leave his office feeling as if any of my problems were unresolved. Briefly stated, he practices medicine the way it was meant to be and for that, I am… See more
