I had to see Dr.Winkler a few times. He is a professional, very knowledgeable and his approach is a unique to every patient. Staff is extremely helpful and always ready to answer any questions. Highly recommend this doctor!

Office staff rude with indignant attitude.Very poor and arrogant communication with patients or responding respectfully to phone calls.Two of which were a Marabelle and a Bob. I called for appt.& phone answered with a low "hello and not DR'S OFFICE. I said hello and no response and with another "hello" three more times to ask if this is Dr. W's office she responds "hello 3+ more times, "who are you to me!"OFFICE MGR BOB PICKED UP PHONE said she never did that! Called me a liar and hung up on me!

Been going to him for many years. Over all the years you always are left waiting in the waiting room and a 30 minute wait is on a good day. This last time in I was prescribed the wrong prescription. Went to a different doctor and found that my prescription was off. After going to a new doctor quickly found how unthorough and outdated his technology is. When contacting office to let them know about the problem they were not interested in helping or fixing the problem.

Cataract removal both eyes. Dr. Winkler, Bob and all the staff were great in providing full information and options. During surgeries he explained the entire process and everything went very quickly and smoothly. Surgery at 9 am, having lunch with family at 11:30. Vision now is dramatically improved and there was no post-surgery discomfort or complications at all. Additionally, the nurses and staff at Holy Family Hospital were also excellent.

He's good but arrogant, my time is just as valuable as his. I waited over an hour to get into the exam room and then waited another 20 minutes or more there. He left me in the room and said he would be right back, after 20 I went to the desk and asked where is he? Out of nowhere,he suddenly returns as if nothing was wrong. He may be good but has no bed side manners! P.S. If you're going to make people wait, have some current magazines.

He has always made me feel comfortable and safe with my eyes. He did my cataract surgery with complete expertise and confidence. I have recommended Dr. Winkler to many people and they are now seeing him for their eye care. Dr. Wiinkler is also doing cataract surgery on my husband at this time. I will continue to recommend him with confidence!
