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.

Outstanding!
We have moved around America quite a bit over the past 50 years. When we arrived in the Fairhope area a neighbor recommended Dr Winston. Best recommendation ever. When he went into the MDVIP program, it was a no brainer; we went with him. knowledgeable. Always reading up on the latest. Great network of specialists that he has referred us to. Great bedside manner but stressing things you can do with lifestyle to make life better. He doesn’t lest you rest on your laurels if there is some action you can take to improve your health, he lets you know.

Dr.Winston is thorough in his exams and leaves no rock unturned. He is quick to respond to texts- which in this day is unbelievable. He is knowledgeable and also receptive to your remarks. He makes hospital visits that he doesn’t have to- so he cares about his people. He’s not brass and quick to jump to a verbal idea but analyzes and is very professional. So thankful I found him!

Have been seein Dr Winston for 21 years. Now he decided he needs more money so he is charging $1,650 per year to see him. He knows people on social security can't afford that. Maybe he's tired of dealing with old people. Good luck and goodbye.

Dr. Winston is HANDS DOWN one of the best doctors I've ever had! He makes you feel completely at ease and really cares about you as a patient! He is very thorough and takes the time to TRULY listen to you. He is never in a rush and makes you feel as though you are his one and only patient! On my very first visit with him, he was able to correctly diagnose the hearing problem in my right ear when all other doctors said it was earwax buildup or fluid behind the ear. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor!
