Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent! Dr. Minike's patient care is head and shoulders above most doctors I've visited over the years. He examines your total health, not just allergy issues. Also, his staff are as conscientious and helpful as he is. SW in Norwood, NJ

Dr. Minikes is one of the most thorough, conscientious doctors of all time. He helped diagnose some horrible allergies and made sure I had comprehensive care. He is truly amazing! I would highly recommend him for the entire family.

My son , now a young man, started with Dr.Minikes as a baby when he was doing primary care pediatrics. He was a fabulous diagnostician. We now use him as an allergist and he remains just as competent. Skills aside Dr.Minikes is kind hearted, so easy to talk to and really listens to what you have to say. Dr. Neil Minikes is a gem to the medical profession !!!

I’d been treated for years by a pulmonologist. I was constantly sick. Many times with bronchitis. I was healthy maybe 3-5 days month. I’ve been treated by Dr Minikes for 3 years. I just realized that I haven’t had bronchitis in years. I still take my asthma meds but he has reduced the dose. Coming here has changed my life. I trusted him because he was my son’s doctor. He took very good care of a premature asthmatic child 27yrs ago I have recommended him to friends and colleagues

My infant son had an issue with reflux and other things so the pediatrician recommended we start at an allergist. Dr. Minikes was extremely friendly and took a lot of time going through all of the symptoms and issues. He also helped guide us on different ways to feed my son with the bottle to minimize the reflux. He listened to his breathing and said he thought we should see a pulmonary and he was right because my son had infected lungs from a throat issue. Highly recommended

Dr. Minikes was fantastic. I brought my 7 month old son in for a reaction he had towards eggs. Dr. Minikes was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient and informative. I could not have asked for more. He took ample time to test, diagnose and explain a course of action. Phenomenal with explaining to me and also with dealing with a very young baby. Highly recommended! The office was also very clean. Reception and nursing staff a plus, as well!
