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.

Miss Him
Dr. Winston was my pain specialist until he retired and moved to Florida. When I first started visiting Dr. Winston, I found his bed side manner a little off putting; however, the more I saw him the more I liked him. He worked very hard at trying to find a mixture of treatment options to control my pain. At one stage, I was ready to give up since nothing seemed to work. However, Dr. Winston said he wasn’t ready to give up. I wish he was still here to see the results of my surgery on my back. With pain medicine, most of my days I am without pain. I’m going to work myself off of the pain meds again since I think they are not really helping that much and may be increasing my pain some. I can’t say enough good about Dr. Winston since he kept me sane and as pain free as possible until I could finally get in to see a surgeon. Covid made that difficult. While my new doctor is okay, I still miss Dr. Winston a lot!

I was first a patient of Dr. Winston in 2006. After 5 surgeries from other doctors which did not help I returned to Dr. Winston in 2019. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Winston. He has strived to cure or reduce my pain with many efforts at different procedures but with no success. I will keep working with him. I cannot recommend him to anyone else however based on the fact that he has not solved any of my pain problems after months of trying. When he does based on all the other good things he does I will call everyone I know to tell them how great Dr. Winston has been. I cannot send them that way until I am comfortable he can help them. I am sorry.

Spent 2011 - 2013 trying to get control of horrendous pain after surgery. My surgeon sent my records, including a statement that I’d never be without pain due to evidence in diagnostics & surgery. I was treated as a drug seeker, even though I had not asked for any drugs until I was completely hopeless from trialing all injections & medsrecommended, except for opioids. I was compliant, beyond patient. When asked for something to help, I could no longer live in such pain, I was yelled at. Horrific
