Meet Louis R. Minsky, MD


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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Saving lives

from Chris in LA • April 3, 2024
Since starting MDVIP care in Baton Rouge with Louis Minsky, I'm in much better health than prior to that.

HELP Assistance

from Alice in LA • March 24, 2024
On a Friday morning, I woke with pain in my right hip area (which I had a replacement about 2 years earlier) and across my back waist area making it very uncomfortable to walk. It being a Friday and most doctor offices are closed at noon, to get an appoint with my hip surgeon would be almost not happening.

Thank you

from Carolyn and Jim in LA • March 10, 2024
We have known Dr Minskey since he first moved to Baton Rouge many years ago. When he told us of his association with MDVIP we decided to move with him. He has always been attentive to our needs and addresses them quickly. Sometimes he knows our needs better than we do! He listens, but knows us well enough after all these years to see what the real issues are. My husband Jim has been ill for Read more...

Leaning on Louis (Minsky)

from Sandra in LA • March 9, 2024
There is not enough room or time to mention all Louis
Minsky has done for my family and for me. He is like part of our family and has been with us through the good times and
the tougher times. He is only a phone call away and has even come to our house on several occasions. We all feel protected and blessed. Thank you Dr. Minsky.
