Testimonials


Testi "I have been a patient of Dr. Winder’s for almost 4 years now. I had wanted breast augmentation for many years and I finally made the decision to go ahead in early 2000. I made a consultation appointment and spoke with the nurse educator and Dr. Winder. They were very informative and caring. My mammogram was fine and the surgery was done. I was so happy with the results!

Several months later I found a lump in one of my breasts I have a family history of breast cancer. I immediately made an appointment with Dr. Winder. He was very concerned and supportive. Our worst fears came true, it was breast cancer. He was able to do a mastectomy and leave the implant in place! What a relief that was, because I was facing 8 months of chemotherapy and radiation. The thought of no breast for 8 months, on top of everything else was just too much.

We have since done some reconstructive surgery to match up the breasts. The results are almost perfect to me.

I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. He has been wonderful through out all of this! I must also mention the nurses and office staff. They have been so supportive and caring. Scheduling appointments around my treatments and work was never a problem. They also handled my insurance with ease, something I could never have done.

If you have thought of cosmetic surgery I would highly recommend Dr. Winder and his great staff!"

Testi "I had breast surgery in September after dreaming of having it done for over 10 years. I was very careful in selecting a surgeon and have been thoroughly satisfied with my choice. Dr. Winder explained all of my options to me prior to the surgery and made sure I understood before making my decision. He’s been exceptional and I am a new person because of it.

His staff also played an important role in my decision. They are all extremely professional, friendly and helpful I have recommended Dr. Winder to several of my friends and would certainly return should the need or desire to further improve myself arise."
