Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I love my new Dr winkeler! Plus he's 2 minute away
He had a response for everything I brought up and did not rush me out of the office. Exactly The type of care I want in a physician. Plus, he gets results.

About 10 yrs. ago, after loosing our lifelong family physician, my husband & I needed to find a new Dr. Asking friends for references, Dr. Winkeler’s name kept being mentioned. I was able to schedule an appointment for both of us together. Upon our initial office visit, we were both impressed with Dr. Winkeler’s personable demeanor, his willingness to sit down & listen to you and then research the best avenue to take to resolve your medical issues. We have never felt rushed through an appointment or made to feel we were not important. He seems to keep up with new & innovative medical advances & networks with other Dr.’s in the bi-State region. Whenever he has had to make specialists Dr. referrals, he personally knows them. We have much confidence & trust in Dr. Winkeler. So glad we found him & his professional compassionate staff.

My kids and I have seen Dr. Winkeler for years! He is so friendly. Fantastic bedside manner. He truly listens to your concerns and works to get to the bottom of it and find a solution that is best for you. The wait is never long. I’ve never felt rushed through an appointment. There are few like him. HIGHLY recommend.
