Dr. Wininger was very informative and we talked at length about what to expect in the future regarding my hip condition. During the visit I talked to him about the lower back pain I am experiencing and he explained that it was likely due to inflammation from a fall. My spinal surgeon and physician's assistant have done nothing to alleviate the pain except provide one prescription for pain medication. Dr. Wininger prescribed Celebrex for me and that has changed my life. I would recommend him to everyone and will go back when my hip needs replacement.

Dr Wininger listened to my concerns, looked at the X-rays that he had requested because of my pain, answered my questions, suggested a treatment and reassured me that my knees and hips were ok. His knowledge and explanation of the hip and knee structures were extensive including how that area was impacted by the knee and hip joint replacements.

I can`t say enough good things about Dr. Austin Wininger, MD.. He has been unfailingly thorough regarding every point and detail, potential or existent, regarding my compound knee issues and follow-up treatments and testing prior to making a final decision about potential surgery options. Dr. Wininger does not miss a beat in listening, reviewing every detail , offering solutions and information! I honestly could not have made a better choice for my orthopedic knee specialists.!
