QMG Expands Urologic Care with the Arrival of Dr. Peter Minich

April 25, 2024

Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) proud­ly announces the addi­tion of Board-Cer­ti­fied Urol­o­gist Peter Minich, MD, PhD, MAPP. He brings exten­sive expe­ri­ence and deep exper­tise to our community’s patients. Dr. Minich will see patients at QMG in Quin­cy and Pittsfield.

Med­i­cine inspired me,” said Dr. Minich. Grow­ing up in a med­ical fam­i­ly, the idea of choos­ing a career that reflect­ed pas­sion was instilled in me at an ear­ly age. The human side, the use of sci­ence, and the abil­i­ty to work both with my mind and hands to ben­e­fit the com­mu­ni­ty, made urol­o­gy the right choice for me.”

Dr. Minich earned his Doc­tor of Med­i­cine from Queen’s Uni­ver­si­ty in Kingston, Ontario, Cana­da. He holds a PhD in Edu­ca­tion­al Lead­er­ship & Human Devel­op­ment from Van­der­bilt Uni­ver­si­ty and a Mas­ter of Applied Pos­i­tive Psy­chol­o­gy (MAPP) from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Minich com­plet­ed his res­i­den­cy in Adult & Pedi­atric Urol­o­gy at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Toron­to and a pres­ti­gious fel­low­ship through the Roy­al Col­lege of Physi­cians and Sur­geons of Cana­da, the MacKen­zie Fel­low­ship, in Aus­tralia and New Zealand.

Dr. Minich joins the QMG Urol­o­gy Team includ­ing Dr. Matthew Knud­son, Dr. Daniel Schnei­der, and Physi­cian Assis­tant Steven Rosen. He shared that QMG’s unique cul­ture, where strong physi­cian lead­er­ship aligns to fos­ter excel­lence in patient care, was a major fac­tor in his decision.

QMG is one of the few envi­ron­ments where strong physi­cian lead­er­ship aligns to fos­ter excel­lence in patient care,” he explained. It’s a won­der­ful envi­ron­ment to prac­tice in.”

Beyond his med­ical exper­tise, Dr. Minich express­es a deep appre­ci­a­tion for Quincy’s rich history.

Just like urol­o­gy has a sto­ried past, Quincy’s his­toric struc­tures define a large part of the city,” he said. We are lucky enough to live in one such struc­ture and are hon­ored to make sure it remains for future gen­er­a­tions to enjoy.”

Look­ing towards the future of urol­o­gy, Dr. Minich reflects on the rapid advance­ments in the field, a field he’s hon­ored to work in.

I start­ed my career trans­plant­i­ng kid­neys,” he shares. In 20 short years tech­nol­o­gy has explod­ed. It’s amaz­ing what can be achieved with min­i­mal mor­bid­i­ty. Every day I am in awe of what we can do to help our patients and community.”

Dr. Minich’s arrival expands QMG’s com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing com­pre­hen­sive uro­log­ic care to the Quin­cy com­mu­ni­ty. To sched­ule an appoint­ment, call (217) 222‑6055, ext. 3894. For more infor­ma­tion, vis­it quin​cymed​group​.com.
