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.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Winter agreed to fit me into a tight schedule on very short notice for a specialized lung surgery. The surgery went very well and I was able to return home in 2 days. Dr. Winter was able to explain the procedure so that I could understand and answered my questions.

Dr. Winters is a phenomenal surgeon
January 26, 2023 I was rushed to surgery after having a HIDA scan to determine my gallbladder was corrupted. Dr. Winters is a phenomenal surgeon but his billing office build it as an outpatient and my insurance will not cover it so I’m contacting the state of Colorado department of regulatory agencies and every other entity I can against Dr. Winters, his assistant, Dr. Lopez and his Colorado Springs office that refuses to fix the billing because I was an inpatient not an outpatient. Nobody seems to care so bad review shall reign.

Dr Winter saved my mother’s life
Dr Winter is a consummate professional and expert in his field. He saved my mother’s life yesterday by finding and stopping her internal bleeding after several procedures failed. He explained everything to us in a way we could understand and was both kind and caring while exuding seriousness and confidence. I can neither thank him nor recommend him enough.

He is by far the greatest surgeon I’ve ever seen or worked with. It’s an absolute privilege to work with him. He’s kind, gentle, sincere & can pretty much turn “water into wine”[OR: the medical version of it - haha]. He’s the guy I want in my room when things don’t go according to plan or in serious traumas. He somehow manages to keep centered & work through it. To put it simply, he is a bad a**. He is highly respected among everyone at Parker hospital, which includes the 6 years I’ve been employed there (and counting). He deserves recognition for the amazing work he does for our hospital, our community, & our country!

A lot of people wouldn't do my father's surgery to remove damaged hernia mesh, but Dr. Winters took my father's case on and did the surgery so perfectly and precise. It was life changing. No longer will my dad have pain and fear of when his next bowel obstruction will be. Dr. Winters is a life saver, and a really dedicated doctor.

I was involved in an injury in Maryland. I wanted to return to Colorado. In Maryland the case worker communicated with a few Trauma Surgeons in the Denver Colorado area. Within the hour of sending that communication, Dr. Winter replied that he would take my case. I was medically airlifted to Denver. Upon arriving Doctor Winter greeted me at the Hospital. Dr. Winter has helped me more than words can express. He speaks with confidence and he is assuring. I have one more surgery and I am at ease.
