What Members Are Saying

Since starting MDVIP care in Baton Rouge with Louis Minsky, I'm in much better health than prior to that. My family members have been fairly short-lived, but I feel absolutely able to do great things for a long time to come. However, I am most impressed with the improvements of quality of life that have occurred to my brother in law. He was one who made his own diagnoses,health care decisions and medicine consumption decisions. He had fallen, broken ribs and couldn't accomplish daily tasks necessary for life. After moving him to a care facility, he was introduced to Dr. Minsky and his symptoms have abated so much that he is living life anew. I honestly thought he was nearing the end but he has regained function that he hasn't had in decades. It was life-saving.

Chris

Patient of Louis R. Minsky, MD

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. I contacted Dr. Minsky, shared my concern of not getting an appointment with my surgeon, maybe could he see me. Well, he did better than that. He contacted the surgeon and brought him up to date with my sympton's and the discomfort. Within 20 minutes or less, he called back, an appointment had been scheduled with my surgeon, seeing me within an hour. After the visit, I let Dr. Minsky know about the result - my surgeon had already contacted him with the new. My hat goes off to my surgeon (Dr. Neils Linschoten) and Dr. Minsky.

Patient of Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Louis Minsky has been my PCP for ~10-12 years, even before he began his MDVIP practice. He has always, without exception provided world class exceptional, professional care balanced perfectly with extraordinary compassion, understanding and listening. MDVIP has allowed him to shine in ways he was unable in his previous practice. I recently experienced a life threatening hospitalization over the Christmas holidays. Dr. Minsky remained involved in assisting the hospital staff, visiting and checking in on me during my 2 week stay even on his vacation days off. He always manages to be exactly where needed, even when I was unaware. He remained in touch with me, caring for my needs by phone and txt after my release, still during his vacation time off - above and beyond... His professionalism, compassion and extraordinary service are reflected throughout his entire office staff. Dr. Minsky represents the 'gold standard' of why I appreciate and enjoy my MDVIP membership.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Louis R. Minsky, MD

Dr. Minsky has been our doctor for 25 years, except for a short break caused by insurance difficulties in 1994-1995.

from Lyman & Rachel in LA • February 11, 2014

Dr. Minsky has been our doctor for 25 years, except for a short break caused by insurance difficulties in 1994-1995. Needless to say, we tried very hard not to become ill during that gap! He is one of the rare doctors who not only cares about his patients, but also listens to what they say and what they do not say. It is such a blessing to have a doctor whose judgment we trust and who we feel Read more...

Best doctor I ever had

from Danny in LA • July 28, 2016

When ever I become ill, Dr. Minsky responds no matter where he is at in a timely manner too! Feel like he is a close friend and a caring friend! Best doctor I ever had! Thanks Doc

I feel Dr. Minsky is, in great part, responsible.

from Jeanie in LA • March 1, 2018

I enjoy, overall, very good health. I feel Dr. Minsky is, in great part, responsible. When my 6-year old grandson, who lives in Canada, was in Baton Rouge visiting with me in the summer he developed a very high fever, congestion and terrible cough. He seemed to get worse each day. I called Dr.Minsky's office and they asked me to bring him straight in. We brought him in to the office, Dr. Read more...
