In my opinion, Dr. Minkina is the perfect PCP. She's extremely intelligent and yet, she explains even the most complex issues in terms that are easy to understand. She genuinely cares about me as her patient and she constantly seeks out ways to improve my health. She even found me a surgeon willing to operate on me when others were afraid to do so. She spends as much time as needed with me. She is not an alarmist and she is able to calm even my justifiable fears. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Minkina.

Dr. Nataly Minkina is absolutely the best PCP I've ever had. She listens, she's caring, she always tries to find a solution. Even at times when a solution seems very impossible, she will find a way to do whatever I need for my care. I hope that she's there and I always tell her, please do not retire anytime soon because the reason that I am at that practice is because of Dr. Nataly Minkina. She belongs to a dying breed of caring, understanding doctors that listen to your every single problem and tries to solve it.

Dr. Minkina has been my primary care doctor for at least 10 years, if not longer. She is excellent. She explains everything to me. She lists all my options. She listens to what I say. She gives me her opinion. I give her my opinion, and every single time we follow her opinion, her instructions on what to do. I wish I could bring other people to her, but like she says to me, that she's full up with patience. I think she's the best doctor I've ever had. She explains everything, and I listen. And because she's the doctor, and I'm the patient, and everything that she's told me has been right in the past, I always follow her instructions and do what she says.

Dr Minkina is an exceptional primary care provider . She always spends a good deal of time with me covering my concerns and hers for me . She is thorough and has grown to know me well. If she runs late (unusual) she"ll apologize and still give me adequate time . She works extremely hard and often has returned emails as late as 11 pm or mdnoc . I feel fortunate to have such a quality provider such as Dr Minkina and hope she is appreciated for her hard work .
