I consider Dr. Wolinsky one of the best surgeons I have had the pleasure of being acquainted with. However recently some 2-3 years after a tumor removal I injured my neck where the surgery occurred. In summary I spent 7 hrs in a car and maybe 5 minutes in consultation. I don't know if it was a bad day or what. The level of pain I had put with for the prior few weeks was of no consequence. I got more interaction with the lady at the tool booth on the interstate.

Although it's very obvious that Dr. Wolinsky is an exceptionally busy individual, when you're in consultation with him, you feel that you might as well be in his living room chatting. Although his talent and knowledge are immediately obvious, he takes the time to answer your questions in plain English. Dr. Wolinsky typifies what we would like to see and experience in a professional of his caliber, but many times don't see among his peers.
