Gerardo Minsal, MD, FACP

This is absolutely the worst doctor in terms of Ethics. Last year my cousins were mistreating my elderly aunt which forced me to file for custody in the court. She was a victim of theft by an aide and was left with very little money. It took me 4 months but I was able to move her to her apartment in North Miami Beach and be attended to like she deserved. Unfortunately I live in NYC but the courts still felt I was the most qualified to handle her care. With the help of a friend who is like a cousin I am able to provide for her everything she needs.
When this friend — «cousin» to me — took her to see Dr. Minsal, after waiting approximately two weeks, he refused to deal with her because I was not present. His bedside manner was so awful that in the car she started crying hysterically. I was on the phone and explained to him that I live in NYC and that is why my «cousin» took her, that as a team we have been able to better her life from being malnourished with bed sores to what he saw today. However Dr. Minsal admitted to me that this is HIS rule and he would not see her without me present.
How a doctor dealing with an 85 year old feeble woman shows absolutely no heart, treats her badly and makes her feel like she is a burden is beyond me. This doctor should have his licensed pulled and I will be looking to submit a complaint to the ethics committee.
Do not waste your time because a true medical doctor would never do such a thing to anyone. One day he will be old and will know how he made this poor lady feel and what a hassle he caused with his rudeness and made up rules.
