Dr. Winrow has been my nephrologist for 15 years. He has been excellent the whole time. I am sad that he is limiting his practice because of administrative concerns as I would like to continue to see him. But I understand his time is being limited to the sicker patients on dialysis. He recommended another nephrologist in the practice to see next year.

Dr. Winrow is great! Knows his stuff, and a pleasure to work with. Keeps pushing me beyond my "use by date". For that I am very appreciative of his efforts...
