Dr. Minerva M. Ellis, D.O., F.A.C.O.I., cares for adults across the Palm Beaches with the long view in mind — prevention, diagnosis, and the steady management of complex illness. Seventy-five years of practice, one quiet standard.
Palm Beach Medical Group was founded in 1950 by four physicians who believed that good medicine is a relationship, not a transaction. Three-quarters of a century later, that conviction still organizes the work.
Dr. Minerva M. Ellis carries the founders' vision forward — board-certified in internal medicine, published in her field, and trusted by generations of Palm Beach families.
Internists dedicate at least three of their seven or more years of training to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect adults. They are trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and to manage situations where several illnesses strike at once.
In today's complex medical environment, that means caring for patients for life — in the office, during hospitalization, and across the quiet years that follow.
Dr. Ellis is always on top of your health picture — your history, your medications, your current needs, your visits to specialists. I have never had a primary care as responsive, and as proactive, as she.
From the annual exam that catches what you can't feel yet, to the long, careful management of chronic illness — the services below reflect the daily work of the practice.
Indicative pricing is shown for self-pay patients. Most services are billed through your insurance; the office will verify benefits before your visit.
A comprehensive adult physical with history review, vital signs, age-appropriate screening, and a personalized prevention plan. The foundation of long-term care.
Ongoing care for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, thyroid disorders, and asthma — with regular monitoring, medication adjustment, and coordinated subspecialist referrals.
For unresolved or multi-system symptoms. A dedicated 45-minute visit to review records, order targeted labs and imaging, and build a working diagnosis.
Lipid panel, A1C, inflammatory markers, and blood pressure profiling with a cardiometabolic risk report — paired with a 30-minute review of results.
A 90-minute comprehensive review for patients 65 and older — cognition, mobility, medication reconciliation, and a coordinated plan with family and subspecialists.
History, physical, ECG, and risk stratification prior to elective surgery — with same-day documentation sent to your surgeon and anesthesiologist.
Modern medicine is rarely a single doctor's work. The physicians of Palm Beach Medical Group combine their primary care expertise with a network of trusted local subspecialists — cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics among them — so that when a referral is needed, it is the right one.
Laboratory and pharmacy services are on the premises at both the West Palm Beach and Jupiter offices. Most results are available through a secure patient portal within 24 hours, alongside referral requests, prescription renewals, and appointment scheduling.
