Dr Richard Minkner doesn't listen to me. Well depends on the day if he's in a good mood. I'm going to request a new physician. He's putting more stress on me than he should

Dr Minkner is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Minkner always seems to be contentious with me. I do advocate strongly for myself, and his response to that is always to try to talk me out of what I'm asking for, like a referral, or to just be plain cranky about it. In all the times I've seen him, including the annual check up, he has not once physically examined me other than to put the sphygmomanometer on my chest for about 30 seconds. When I'm in pain, I hope for a provider to be empathetic to my situation instead of being reactive.

He really listened to what Was going on with me

Nothing written on my intake survey was discussed. Since this was not my primary doctor, he seemed to just want to punt everything to my next visit with my primary. I was trying to get my well check in before the end of the year after my primary doctor was unavailable for the scheduled appointment, but it turned out to pretty much be a waste of time. Only good thing was that the provider suggested and ordered a shingles vaccine.

I like my Dr Minkner very much

First, the Well Check' is a waste of time. Doc comes in, hadn't even looked at the concerns I had written down, asked one question about my meds, listened to my heart for 5 seconds, then tried to end our appt with "glad you're doing well." I needed some referrals for reasonable things and felt like I had to fight for them. He seemed very resistant to giving me the referrals.
