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.

CARE BEYOND COMPARE
Dr. Winegar's office can feel like a step back in time - in a really good way. He's very experienced and can handle so many aspects of your care vs. immediately referring you out to an expensive specialist for things that can be handled in an office visit. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Petula is the BEST!

Patient
My husband & I have been seeing Dr. T Winegar since 2012 & we are always happy & satisfied after our Dr.'s visits with him because he's always patient in listening to our health concerns. He takes the time to listen to us then talks to us on how to better take care of ourselves with his Counsel & advise. He's very knowledgeable & intelligent. I like a doctor who is very experience because I have confidence in him & I know I can trust him. He takes care of our needs & is a Great Doctor. Keep up the great job, Doc. W!

Dr. Winegar just requested my 80 year old grandfather come in for an appointment to talk, where no physical exam was required. This could have easily been done by phone or video conference, especially when the CDC, health department and government has put a stay at home order in place due to the CoronaVirus. This office is not practicing the stay at home orders/ social distancing and I would be very careful visiting his office for these reasons. He is putting all of his patients, staff and others at risk for an appointment that could have easily been done over the phone.

I have been with Dr Winegar for many years. I'm 83 now and still with him beause he has helped me with so much. Pinched nerve in my neck. Problems with arthritis, back pain, thick and numb leg, and much else. I will continue to see Dr Winegar for problems. He is my doctor.

HORRIBLE!!! MY HUSBAND WAS A PATIENT OF DR. WINEGAR FOR 22 YEARS. JAN. 2017 HE CAME DOWN WITH GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME, AND DR. WINEGAR HAD A DR. PERFORM NECK SURGERY ON HIM. I ASKED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM IF HE DID HAVE GBS. HIS RESPONSE WAS NO WE ALREADY RULED THAT OUT. ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ONLY WAY TO RULE IF OUT IS A SPINAL TAP. WHICH WAS NEVER PERFORMED. WE HAD TO CHANGE DR. IN MARCH DUE TO HIS LACK OF MEDICAL ACKNOWLEDGE. SO 3 YRS LATER HE CAME DOWN WITH IT AGAIN, DUE TO NOT BEING TREATED FOR IT AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS GBS. THRU THIS PROCESS WE HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO HE HAS NOT DONE RIGHT BY.

I was accepted by Dr. Winegar when my previous Primary Care Provider was no longer in my health insurance system. Dr. Winegar and his staff are truly exceptional. They respond almost immediately and routinely follow-up. They are also well-versed in health insurance plans and prescriptions. I could not ask for better care.
