Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2022
Dr. Minkes is an amazing doctor and fabulous surgeon! He did such a wonderful job on my breast surgery and removed my cancer tumor with clear margins and now I'm happy to say I am cancer free thanks to Dr. Minkes! He performed a lumpectomy to remove my cancer tumor and I was so afraid of what my breast would look like after surgery and when I saw the amazing job he did, I almost cried tears of joy. Not only is he an amazing surgeon, he is so caring and so kind and explains things to you clear and concise and you leave his appointments feeling confident and well informed. His bedside manner was an A+ in my book. His staff is also very nice and the wait times are minimal. I would recommend Dr. Minkes to anyone who needs to undergo any type of surgery and in my case breast cancer surgery to remove a tumor, he is the greatest in my book. Thank you Thank you!!
