I dread visits to the doctor and am always uneasy about the whole experience, but I have to say Dr. Winchester is fantastic and makes a patient feels so comfortable with him. My husband and I both have him as our PCP and we are both very happy with the experiences we have had with him and his staff.

I have had the same general practitioner (family doctor) for 30+ years. I had been advised that as I get older I should have an internal medicine doctor. Dr. Winchester was recommended to me and I am VERY happy that I went to see him. I've never had problems with appointments. Have been squeezed in many times at the last minute. Dr. Winchester's practice has a patient portal (i.e. internet site for exchange of info between dr. and patient and a way to contact his nurse). Dr. Tim spends way more time with me discussing everything I am concerned with (not a 3 minute visit with an automatic prescription like I was used to receiving). He will even communicate with you view the patient portal after hours. Dr. Tim is proactive and easy to talk to. Answers all questions. Excellent doctor!

I am 55 and have lived in various parts of the Eastern United States. I know that when I have an appointment with Dr. Winchester, he will walk in, sit down, put his feet up and give every indication that I have his full attention. He doesn't prepare to leave until I am satisfied that we have addressed every concern.

Dr Winchester is an excellent dr! He is very knowledgeable & up-to-date about information, and even quick to get more information if needed. If you are ever waiting on him (which may be more than you would like) it is only because he is spending personal time with others that he will also be spending with you.
