Richard W Minudri's Online Review Report Card

If you have trauma regarding medical care in the past, steer clear.

First class from first contact via phone to front desk to each staff member and Dr Minudri himself. Over the top. Professionals. Caring. Concerned sincere people. I have never experienced anything so outstanding in my life. ( I don’t go to doctors any more than necessary but this was amazing).

Dr Minudri is a very experienced & wise Doctor. I was amazed at how comfortable & relaxed he made me feel throughout my pregnancies & even during delivery. He is very respectful of the mothers wishes towards her birth plan & is very up to date with current things like exercise during pregnancy. He has never tried to restrict my activity level as other doctors have & he allows me to trust my own body. I highly recommend him!

I have seen Dr. Minudri for many years and he is hands down the most caring and responsive physician of any specialty I have ever been to. He genuinely cares about your health and your happiness and is open and up front about any topic. His bed side manner is amazing and you can tell he truly cares about his patients.

I will never see Dr. Minudri ever again. He tried to force me to get STD testing because my boyfriend and I had been away from each other for awhile. I'm sorry, but saying that my boyfriend had been unfaithful when I had said nothing to imply that is completely unprofessional and inappropriate. Asking if I wanted to be tested would've been fine, but to force the issue rubbed me the wrong way. Aside from that, I tried asking questions but he was already halfway out the door and his nurse had to go get him to bring him back.

At first my experience with him was positive. He listened to my concerns and preformed surgery on me. However, I had to have surgery again within a year. The second surgery was not as simple as he thought it would be. The recovery was difficult. After surgery I was informed through his nurse to find a new OBGYN. I found one in Spokane who told me that the second surgery could have been prevented. I was misdiagnosed and improperly treated and when things were not simple, I was dropped. If your case is "normal" then he will probably be a fine Dr. for you.

I've seen this doctor for many years, and I have mixed feelings about my experiences. He does spend a lot of time with you and is very caring, but the way his office is run is frustrating and disappointing. His staff, with the exception of one person over in the Moscow office, are unprofessional. They've even discussed my care in front of the whole office at the front desk, which is a violation of my privacy. Nurses are hit and miss, which is who you get to talk to if any problems arise. If you leave a message for them to call you back, you may or may not get a call back. Some are knowledgeable, but others are fresh out of nursing school or dismiss your concerns. I've never had any of the doctors call me back and talk to me personally about a concern or question - the nurses rely the info back and forth, which feels like playing telephone for a worried patient. What I really dislike about this office is the lack of an on-call doctor. If you call their phone number during the night or weekends, you are instructed to call the local hospital. That means there's no one to answer any questions from the time the office closes until the next morning. My pediatrician's office is better than their office - their doctors are on-call 24/7. You'd think with something as concerning and worrisome as pregnancy they would have an on-call doctor. But they know they are the only obgyns in the area, so they can do this and get away with it. Overall, Dr. Minudri is smart and caring, but I don't see the need to go to the office for pregnancy or health-related issues unless you are high risk. There is no guarantee that any of the docs in the office will deliver your baby (they rotate so you get whoever is in the office), which is another downer. 99% of my interactions have been with the staff and nurses because the doctors are too busy with overbooked schedules.

I can only say positive things about my experience with Dr. Minudri. I was in need of a uterine polyp removal before starting a round of IVF with a clinic in Oregon. He made room in his busy schedule to consult with me and got me on the surgery calendar in six weeks time. When I achieved a pregnancy, I saw him quite frequently and can only say positive things. I am the type of person who needs questions answered. He always did so in great detail. When I had problems, the nurses were always able to get back to me with an answer the same day. There were a couple times we had to reschedule appointments because he had to attend to a birth or emergency surgery. I was perfectly happy to do so. He's a flesh and blood human and can't be everywhere at once. I knew that when it was my time to deliver, he would be there for me. And he was. I would give him five stars if that were an option.

The best doctor I've ever had, for anything. Was a patient of his for years, until we moved away, and now all doctors seem substandard in comparison. Highly recommend, as he is a caring, compassionate, and EXCELLENT physician.

I am very angry over him. We schedules an IUI therapy and when I found a positive ovulation, he refused to perform it because his busy schedule. It is a weekend. I really dont know what he was doing. Waste my time to see such a doctor.
