Extraordinary doctor. LOVED her approach to health - "let's try the simplest approach and see if that works, before trying expensive, invasive tests." Personable, friendly, super-informed and smart ... seriously, was thrilled with this Dr.

WE DO NOT BOOK PHYSICALS THROUGH ZOC DOC/PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE !!! THIS SITE IS FOR NEW PATIENTS ONLY!!!!
We were trained in an era when the best medicine was the least medicine. We recognize that modern scientific medicine is at times able to diagnose, treat, and cure conditions that defied our efforts in the past. We also recognize that most testing and treatments, directly or indirectly, carry the danger of harming people. We seek the balance whereby we do everything that is necessary and helpful, and nothing that is useless or harmful.
Patients used to be just people, who made their own decisions. Doctors were advisors, who had time to keep up with all the new information. Then the modern era arrived. People became consumers, and marketing campaigns cranked up to convince people that more was better, encouraging them to demand their share. Insurance companies became for-profit, and managed care squeezed doctors, hospitals, and patients for profit. Marketing for money, increasing demand, and intentional roadblock of access to care pretty much sums up our current environment.
Patients, please be sure to bring your actual, current insurance card to your appointment. We are unable to bill your carrier without this information. If you do not have your card, you will be asked to pay for your visit at the time of service, or reschedule your appointment. Also, please be advised that the time slots alloted for Zoc Doc are NOT for physicals exams/checkups. We are typically booked out for 1 - 2 months for physicals. Thank you.

Went in for a chronic reoccurring issue and received a printed sheet with facts about my issue, similar to what Google would provide. No RX, no "game plan", just tips that I could have found myself, and have tried.

Dr. Minter was very thorough and careful to explain the things she was doing and the reasons she was doing them. I like that she explained my different medication options and why she thought one would work for me over another.

Did not ask many questions at all about my problem. Seemed to be dismissive and wanted me to be out of there as quick as possible.

Very nice and friendly.

Dr. Minter is an extremely meticulous, caring doctor. She takes the time to understand your family history. She is like an old fashioned doctor-not the kind that you typically find today who rush through patients.

The office staff were all very sweet, professional, and helpful. Dr. Minter spent about 45 minutes with me just listening to what I had to say and giving me information about it all. I felt very well understood and very well informed when I left. Highly recommend. (The wait time was only a bit long because I was a new patient; old patients went right in, so it looks like that improves.)

Clear, concise, straight to point yet warm presentation. I very much appreciated that Dr. Minter acknowledged the long wait on my part.
I am looking forward to having her as my Internist.

I liked her. She is a great doctor.
November 6, 2013Eileen R.Verified patient
Dr. Minter was very personable and approachable. She listened to me thoroughly, asked relevant questions, and made me feel heard. This was my first time seeing her and I will definitely be going back to her for future healthcare.
December 21, 2012Sidney B.Verified patient
Absolutely loved the doctor, but was not happy with the office, as I got "discounted" parking which seemed pretty high priced to me. It was a parking deck only for that building so I don't see why parking is not validated.

I had just moved to Atlanta; So, I went to Dr. Minter to build a relationship with a GP. While in the appointment I asked for a recommendation for an OBGYN and Dermatologist which she gave. I also asked for a few recommendations to lose a couple of pounds before my upcoming wedding. The appointment finished and I paid my co-pay. A few weeks later I received a large bill in the mail. Dr. Minter had coded my visit as an obesity visit(I am no where near obese),which insurance will not cover. When I called and asked her to code it as any other subject that we talked about (which were many), she refused. Seems to me that the office is money hungry, which is unfortunate because I would have continued used her as my GP.

my visits to Dr. Minter are always helpful. She is very good at diagnosing and listens carefully to my description of problems.

As always - good.

I really appreciated Dr. Minter ACTUALLY taking the time to hear me out and treat my symptoms rather than writing me off as just another "allergy patient." Thank you so much!!
March 26, 2012Beltriz O.Verified patient
Dr. Minter was an excellent docter. She gave me a lot of information about everything going on. The staff was excellent and kept conversation going. She let me know the pros and cons of everything and kept it real. =) She's awesome!

Very comfortable with her - my first appointment!
February 6, 2012Kimberly W.Verified patient
Good dr but I waited almost 35 minutes before they call my name and I waited another 40 minutes in the room waited for dr to come and see me. Overall good, clean and friendly office. Would probably recommend to family and friends for sure.

I don't really like going to see doctors. But Dr Minter seemed very knowledgeable and won my trust during the first visit. This may be a new relationship off many years to come
