- Miss Minihan is an exceptional doctor and a true expert in her field. She went above and beyond by accommodating my last-minute request for surgery in the evening, and the results of this complex procedure were the best I could have hoped for. Her bedside manner is outstanding: she listens carefully, explains everything clearly and is incredibly empathetic, reassuring and approachable. I feel lucky to have found her and will always be grateful for her care. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
