WARNING: WORDY!
Summary: FIVE STARS! Best doctor ever,…read morerepresenting his patients' best interests and offering an efficient, cost-effective medical concierge practice for the busy DMV professionals. He's an integral part of the medical expert team for this Crohns patient!
I became intrigued in the whole "medical concierge" principle after my well-esteemed, knowledgeable and kind doctor of 10 years moved to Florida. This loss served as one less reason to tolerate the intolerably inefficient and rude "front desk" personnel and extremely long waits (first in the waiting area and then yet again in the exam room). To add insult to injury, I was reassigned to a doctor that lacked in so many ways; including proper communication... (what doctor switches medicine dosages at refill and cancels surgery days before it happens with absolutely no advance notice. Then, the arrogant attitude of this unselected "replacement" doc was the cherry on top of a gut wrenching sundae. I was able to temporarily move to another doctor within the practice until I could move to a new practice.
I met Dr. Mintz in early 2018 at at event and then did my own research on concierge medical services. I had heard of it before as being almost like having a doctor on call. Easy appointments, ease of communication (email, phone call, text, etc), NEARLY ZERO wait time for doctor appointments, ease of scheduling, easy billing, no administration burden, quick (sometimes even same day appointments). What is there not to appreciate. The best part was, to my very surprise, it is very affordable (less than I pay for a monthly gym membership). It was something I definitely wanted to try, so I enrolled in February and have been there ever since. I don't envision myself anywhere else (so long as he doesn't move to Florida ;), and it is not just because of the concierge aspect either.
Dr. Matthew Mintz is truly a stand-up gentleman! I warned him in advance that I would be a difficult patient (with a nearly unmanageable case of Crohns!), but he didn't even flinch! He's a very kind-hearted, caring doctor. I don't ever feel judged about my medical issues/questions or talked down to (despite the fact that he's the expert and medicine is not my field). He keeps me well-informed of test updates, notes from specialists, his own recommendations, treatment options and always takes the time to answer questions thoroughly and do follow-up research as necessary. He takes pride in his practice, respects his clients and seeks to make medicine more practical/accessible/easy. I definitely trust him with my health and am happy to have become acquainted with his practice. He also takes great pride in helping others, frequently teaching and providing experience to interns.
Finally, I also love his front desk. Tina is very kind and efficient as well. Great team!
I would (and frequently do!) recommend Dr Matthew Mintz's practice to everyone! It's great for anyone; but especially busy parents and professionals and those who travel frequently.
