I've been looking for a compatible doctor on the Central Coast for years. After a lot of mediocre-to-nightmarish experiences I was so happy with Dr. Winter's office. The office staff is kind, friendly, and organized. The nursing staff is amazing. And Dr. Winter herself is great.

I know I overwhelmed her a bit with the train wreck that is my current medical state. She never once faltered and is committed to helping me get back on track.
She also offered a simple solution to an acute problem that neither the urgent care nor ER did. It's helped 1000% already! I was worried I might have to take a week off from work, but am now looking to go back tomorrow!!
August 5, 2019Kimberly A.Verified patient
Dr. Winter is both extremely knowledgeable and kind. She has great bedside manner and genuinely (I feel) listens and then gives me the opportunity to chime in on our visit. I wish she could be cloned and distributed to many other doctors offices.

I came in with some pretty severe issues and was turned away even though the receptionist assured us the prior day that the arrival time would be fine. Ten minutes later than we were told they would accommodate us, while I was having severe breathing trouble. Since my breathing troubles were pretty severe we drove down hours out to find out it was nearly an emergency and thankfully was given a breathing treatment and antibiotics to avoid having to be admitted to the er. If I had waited I could have ended up in the hospital. This is not an office for anyone with real reoccurring health problems of any seriousness.
