Overview
Philosophy of care | I encourage my patients to say what is on their mind without having them feel uncomfortable. I am a good listener, which is a valuable attribute. I always listen to my patients and include them (and their families) in decisions about their health care. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to care for people. I have been interested in medicine since I was in high school. I originally became a pharmacist, but soon I decided to become a doctor, feeling I could have a greater impact on patient care. The most enjoyable part of being a doctor is seeing someone get better and knowing he or she appreciates your care.

Philosophy of care | I pride myself on being compassionate, understanding and most of all sympathetic to the needs of my patients. Also, I have a sense of humor! I try to make my patients feel comfortable by simply listening to their needs. I believe in thorough communication and trying to explain what I am thinking to my patients. Understanding on both of our parts is extremely important to the doctor-patient relationship. | Why I entered medicine | I experienced multiple illnesses as a child, and I looked to my doctor for comfort and guidance. My pediatrician always gave my parents and me a feeling of peace - a sense that everything would be all right. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife, two children and my dog. I also enjoy reading and spending time at the beach. Dr. Winas is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Galactocoele.

Philosophy of care | Listening is important. That's the most helpful to patients. You get the most insight into their personality. Communication is also important -- not only with the patient, but with the patient's family, and especially in the hospital or nursing home. Good communication goes a long way. I've been doing this for more than 10 years, and you build a relationship with your patients. I like to catch up, see how they're doing, ask about their family, vacations. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and that had an impact on me when I was growing up. | Personal interests | My greatest passion in life is my family -- my wife and my two daughters. That's the most important thing to me. I spend a lot of time with the family, and I like to fish. We're big Eagles fans, and I have season tickets.
