About the practice
Minkin is a Yale clinical professor who has been in private practice around New Haven for more than 40 years. She rotates between three Connecticut offices, one day a week in each, in New Haven, Guilford and Essex. Her current practice is general gynecology and women's health with a focus on peri- and postmenopausal quality of life. Since 2008 she has also directed the Sexuality, Intimacy and Menopause clinic in the gynecological oncology division at Smilow Cancer Hospital, so sexual health after cancer treatment is a real part of her work. She no longer does obstetrics or gynecologic surgery and leaves that to the group she practices with, which admits patients to Yale New Haven Hospital. Her website is mostly free education she wrote for patients and younger clinicians, including videos on menopause and on menopause for cancer survivors, and a blog she writes with her mathematician husband that opens with why she left electronic medical recordkeeping.
