Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing surgeon!
Dr Minkin has not only operated on me 6 times. The most recent time was when he saved me from dying of a ruptured colon caused from diverticulitis by removing a portion of it and giving me a colostomy. Luckily he was also able to reverse the colostomy. He saved my life ! I owe him mine!

I have been a patient of Dr. Minkins for ten years. I referred both my husband and one of my daughters to him. He is a great doctor, surgeon and really takes the time to talk to his patients. I highly recommend him.

I went to Dr. Minkin without referral because he had good ratings and credentials. Our initial appointment went well (even though I'm very nervous in medial settings) and he answered all of my questions. Scheduling the surgery was easy and it went well. The surgery center was about as comfortable as such a place can be and the medical workers were warm and kind. Overall my experience was very good.

I've seen Dr. Minkin for my sleeve and gallbladder surgeries. Both were performed amazingly quick, without complication, and have been enormously successful. His staff is always helpful. Des Peres hospital has an amazing nursing staff. Dr. Minkin was completely thorough explaining the best options for weight loss surgery and was 100% right as I've reached my goal in just over a year. He's very easy to talk to, doesn't rush to get you through an appointment and I highly recommend him for WLS.

Dr. Minkin's expertise in his field is beyond comparison! There is no one any more knowledgeable and qualified in my opinion based on my own surgery experiences with him! I could not be more satisfied with the outcome of my surgery and the time and care given me by him. Dr. Minkin comes highly recommended by me!
