    This was our first visit because our son sustained a knee injury two days prior. We were worried and uncertain. However, Dr Minkowitz was remarkably kind, knowledgeable and kept us apprised of her decision making process for his treatment so that we felt part of our son's care. The day after our appointment with her, our son is already feeling less pain and more stability-- and we parents know he's in EXCELLENT hands. Thank you, thank you
