Coney And Minter Internal Medcn at 3193 Howell Mill Road Northwest, Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Kathy Minter is horrible and hurt my health a great deal, PERMANENTLY. Do not trust her. Here are warnings:

a. before taking ANY pill, look it up on the Internet and type "side effects"!
b. Don't see Dr. Minter for an annual physical. Instead, once a year, just go to AnyLabTest. For about $100, they can test your blood for about 30 different medical conditions (e.g. possible cancer, diabetes, heart disease). Then IF the blood test shows a problem, just go to a (much better) specialist doctor in that area. Take control of your health.

Support: When Dr. Minter prescribed me Mobic pills for mild arthritis, she refused to warn about side-effects. The Mobic caused (1) permanent heartburn, so that I can't sleep well at night. Then for the heartburn (she caused), she said to take Prevacid pills "forever," even though the bottle says to take them for just 2 weeks. When I asked about this, she said not to worry about those directions, and that Prevacid also had no side effects. Now it turns out that I have (2) liver damage, and that the Prevacid probably caused it! When I started to directly ask her "Does this medicine cause side effects?", she said "No" and even got mad. Therefore, I had to go to a liver specialist, and the liver damage is permanent. (A new liver can cost $1 million, and there is a waiting list of 10,000 people for a new liver.) So Dr. Minter hurt the quality and length of my life.

Also, Dr. Minter kept trying to treat (3) a stomach bacteria herself (h pylori, that the heartburn made worse), which was a waste of my time and money. Finally, I went to a gastroenterologist, a stomach specialist, who did cure the bacteria.

More Support: According to "Consumer Reports" and the website "Choosing Wisely" (formed by the American Board of Internal Medicine), health checkups can cause "wasteful and potentially harmful medical care".
