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.

Dr. Winesett takes the time a Dr. should with a patient. She is kind, caring and listens, more importantly hears what you are saying. She is a great Dr. and all of my kids love her!

Wait times are awful. You need to take a half day off of work to be seen. She is often 30-60 minutes past your appointment time. On top of that, She’s not that great.... an average or below average doctor. We’re not into her anti-vaccination and gluten free views and feel she judges those who want to vaccinate their children and eat pizza.... or anything with gluten. It doesn’t feel good to be judged by a doctor. We’ve switched to another doctor at St. Luke’s.

Yes, wait times can get ridiculous (over 45 minutes for us once). I have never been able to get a same-day appt with her for an acute issue. But once you are in there, she is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and values the parents' concerns and wishes. This is why we, and so many families, continue to seek out Dr. Winesett regardless of the wait times and staff who do not waste any of their energy on being friendly.

She's super good with my child, always makes time to answer any questions I have, and doesn't rush us out after so I can get my kid together after his shots. I've never waited more than 10-15 minutes to get into an exam room.
