John Weyl Winkelman, MD, PhD

Outstanding provider. Caring and trustworthy.

Always see Dr. Winkelman virtually which is much easier than driving into Mass General. The office always responds to medication requests in a timely fashion

I was lucky to be forwarded from Dr. Winkelman's predecessor to Dr. Winkelman. And in our first virtual meeting, he was spot on and ordered certain tests and had me definitely on the right road. And I'm very, very thankful that I was hooked up with the doctor. And I actually felt like I hit the number working with him. Thank you.

Dr.Winkelman is very knowledgeable and thoughtful.

Best!!!

Dr. Winkelman is a fantastic physician. I feel that he is what every doctor should be and you're very lucky to have him on your staff. I would do everything I could to keep him. He is fantastic and I see a lot of doctors and he is truly the best.

He was great. He listened and responded and it was great. Thanks.

Dr. Winkelman literally saved me from the horror of Augmentation from meds I was prescribed ( by another provider) to treat RLS. I consider him a savior to many who suffer with RLS.

I've been with Dr Winkelman for many years. He comtinuus to be a step ahead of my needs. He is truly a respected leader in the treatment and study of RLS!

He is very precise. And I think that once he gets to know his patients, he really wants to help them. Not all doctors are that way. In his field, he could easily have patients that are not truthful with their issues.

I'm very happy with Dr Winkelman as a provider and his office staff.

Excellent and caring. He listens thoughtfully and explains patiently the best solution to go forward with a plan.

If I could give a million plus signs after my 10 rating I would. There is nobody better than Dr Winkelman. He is a blessing to me and the only person who could help me with something I've battled for over 30 yrs.

Dr. Winkelman is the best!

My virtual appt with Dr.W was eye opening; we discussed my history going back to 2001; I'm thankful to be the doc's patient and I look forward to meeting the goals that were set out for me.

I was overdue for a new patient appointment because of transferring from another provider who retired. Dr. Winkelman read my history prior to this appointment and methodically reviewed current medications and symptoms.

Does not dismiss anything the patient may say but discusses it with them. I have come out of this with a plan for treatment which I feel confident about. I waited a long time to get an appointment with this doctor and it proved to be very well worth the wait.
