Great

He was recommended, years ago, by a head nurse at St Peter’s who assured me he was the best cardiologist she’d ever worked with. Nurses KNOW.

Everyone there is very pleasant and helpful. Dr Winston and his Nurse Elisa (I think that was her name, were especially nice and caring) thank you all.

It was clear Dr. Winston had little time to spare, but even so, beyond addressing my medical concerns, he took a few moments to ask me, a first-time patient. about myself and also to give me a sense understanding of some of his own background and interests--even recommending a novel he'd found excellent. It may have been a fast meeting but it was a pleasant and friendly one. The friendliness matters.

Dr. Winston spent very little time with me and gave me only a cursory examination. He acted like he had so many more important things to do.

Dr Winston is hands down the best Cardiac Surgeon in the capital region. Capital Cardiology is extremely lucky to have such a talented long standing member in their team. He is patient, kind and understanding. Dr. Winston takes time to answer all of my questions. Truly wouldn’t want to ever see any other cardiologist who happens to be the best cardiac surgeon.
