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. Winton is amazing. I have been going to him since I was 16 years old, and as long as he’s still practicing, I will never go to another doctor. He never rushes appointments, and takes time to really listen to you. He’s personable, honest and as genuine as they come. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person, in addition to outstanding quality of medical care. I feel like he’s family, and I trust him with my life (no pun intended :-) Hands down, best doctor ever.

Dr. Winton was awesome. Really took his time, had a lot of information and was even genuinely funny, which is super refreshing! I appreciate his willingness to discuss all possibilities and not rule anything out without exploring it. I am glad to have finally found a very personable doctor in Fallbrook. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly also.
