Our entire family has seen Dr. Winkeler for years, he has been seeing our son since he was born. He is an amazing doctor, as are the other doctors in the office. His staff is always helpful and compassionate. We would never go anywhere else for medical care.

Dr. Winkeler is the best doctor that I have ever had in my 56 years. He is always spot on with his diagnosis and prescribes only medicines that I need. He is also good at taking me off blood pressure meds when other doctors said I will be on them the rest of my life. My mom and uncle go to him, and really like him, he speaks in their language and answers all their questions. Its nice to have a doctor spend time with his patients. Courtney is also a joy to work with and represents him very well!

Totally awesome doctor! We have been going to him for 6 years and he's ALWAYS right on the nose with the diagnosis! Wouldn't go to any other.

Seemed like a nice doc but would not see me at Memorial hospital when I was sick. I followed up with a new doc who will take care of me when I am sick at Memorial. Very disorganized office.

His staff is unfriendly and not helpful. His covering doctor is beligerant. They charge too much. I will never go back to this practice again.

I abruptly received notice that this doctor no longer will see me in the hospital. I took my husband and my mother to a new practice. He needs new staff who are more courteous.

I have never had a problem with this doctor. I can usually get an appointment the same day that I call. He spends a decent amount of time with me, answers all my questions, and explains everything in easy to understand language. I even started taking my newborn there, because of these reasons. He's been excellent with the baby, as well.

Staff are discourteous. Covering docs can be abrasive. Missed my diagnosis. I'm looking for a new doc.
