This was my first appointment with Dr. Robert Winchell and he was kind, knowledgeable, professional and patient. I initially met with his PA who was incredibly calming and thorough … then Dr. Winchell joined us and we developed a comprehensive health plan - I feel so fortunate to have them both on my team!
