My daughter was not feeling well at all, and this was an unplanned visit. My daughter had her doll with her and the doctor examined her doll just to make her feel comfortable. This was the first time that my daughter had seen this doctor. He was great, easy to talk to and very informative.

Hello, good afternoon. Doctor Winickoff is an excellent professional. Every time my son needs to see him, he has always been very attentive, and as I have already answered the questions, I would highly recommend him, as we say in Portuguese, "with my eyes shut", meaning with a lot of confidence. He is an excellent professional, very polite, very helpful, and very attentive.
