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.

Best Dr at DOC
I am absolutely blessed to have a caring and compassionate surgeon like Dr Winder. He did both of my knee surgeries and now treating my shoulder. His PA Alex is the best, very caring and easy to talk to. I would recommend Dr Winder anytime. I appreciate him and honor to have him as my Dr.

Excellent physician
This was the second time that I have seen Dr. Winder for an orthopedic problem. Both times he and his team listened carefully to my complaints. He was thorough in his examination and proposed several options to consider. He answered all of my questions. His office also was very professional in their dealings with me, and respectful of my time. I highly recommend him.

DR. WINDER -DESERT ORTHOPEDIC
My experience with Dr Winder AND his staff was Excellent! He did a Rotator Cuff and Bicep Tendon repair. To be honest I was in less pain after day 4 than I was prior to the repair and still am after 11 days. . I was in PT 1 week after the procedure and am doing Great. I appreciate Dr Winder for caring and listening to the details of my pain as well as my concerns. I look forward to my next visit.

Awesome Experience
I saw Dr. Winder for an initial visit for a knee issue. I think I met half his team while there. I felt very comfortable throughout. Things were well-explained, and a treatment plan was developed and begun. I would strongly recommend without reservation.

Top-notch Physician
Dr. Winder and his assistants were professional, competent and caring and made me feel that my health issues were being addressed at the highest level. They even took x-rays during my first appointment and showed them to me, which was more efficient than I ever expected. Thanks for a great experience!

Highly Skilled
After viewing my X-rays, Dr. Winder clearly explained what's going on with my hips. As confirmation, he reproduced with ease the painful catching sensations I experience, something previous doctors have been unable to do accurately. Am confident moving forward with treatment after finally receiving the correct diagnosis.

Best Orthopedic Surgeon
I recently had a mastectomy performed by Dr. Winder, and I cannot recommend them enough. Their bedside manner was exceptional, they were caring and attentive throughout the entire process. Dr. Winder took the time to explain everything in detail and answer any questions I had. Their communication was excellent, keeping me informed and involved in every step of the treatment. I felt confident and comfortable under their care, and the surgery went smoothly. I am grateful for their expertise and compassion during a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Winder to anyone in need of a skilled and caring surgeon.

GREAT LISTENER
I have seen 3 previous doctors regarding a 30-year-old dislocated knee injury, Dr. Winder was the first to explain with x-rays the TRUE prognosis of my injury and did NOT suggest surgery.He listened to my concerns regarding steroids and blood sugar by providing topical pain relief over drugs. BEST MONEY SPENT!!!

Stop reading and just book your appointment now.
If you need an orthopedic surgeon and it’s something that Dr Winder specializes in you can stop looking, you found your guy. I tore my ACL for a second time and needed a surgeon. When you read reviews of Dr Winder, they are stellar. But when you look into his training and see that he trained under the orthopedic surgeon who has arguably been the best in the country for decades that was good enough for me. But when I met him and every time, I saw him he focused on me, my questions and needs. I never felt rushed or that he was distracted and never waited very long to see him and all of the staff at ODC were great. The surgery and recovery went amazingly! Thanks, Dr Winder!
