Top reviews
"I've been a patient of Dr. Mintz for almost 30 years and now my son and daughter-in-law see him too for preventative care. I continue to refer my favorite cardiologist to my family and friends.”
“I never feel rushed with Dr. Mintz since he always takes the time to explain his findings to my test results and answers all my questions.”
“Dr. Mintz was excellent in every aspect of care he provided and I totally trust his knowledge and recommendations. He explained that I am statin intolerant, meaning I have an inability to digest cholesterol meds, so he provided me with an alternative. Twice a month, I take PCSK9 injectable medications. I owe him my life.”
“In addition to being a close personal friend of Dr. Guy Mintz for more than 2 decades, he also cares for 3 generations of my family and several friends and their families. Dr. Mintz’s deep expertise in cardiology and internal medicine can only be matched by his empathy, warm demeanor, sense of humor, bedside manner, and top-notch patient care.
