Thank you Dr Wingate for your excellent surgical and post-surgical care. The laminectomy was 100% successful in relieving my leg pain and the spinal fusion (seven weeks ago) has brought me great relief of my back pain, and I feel that I am well on the way to a full recovery. Thank you to Dr. Wingate for your tremendous care.

Dr Wingate is great! He was not in a big hurry to get me out of there and on to his next patient. He was patient, listened and actually checked out my symptoms to figure out where my pain is coming from! Highly recommend!

Dr. Wingate is always very helpful with questions and explains things very well.
From Dr. Wingate I love to fix things! From an early age, I was very involved in athletic activities and with those activities came injuries. I vividly remember breaking my foot on my tenth birthday. I became a member of the OI family (known by a different name at that time) at a young age. I recall seeing Dr. Zoellner and Craig Steinborn who placed me into a cast and helped get me on the road to recovery.
My interest in putting things back together, combined with my love for the operating room, helped me choose the specialty of orthopedics. No other specialty affords you the opportunity to get people back on their feet and back to the activities they love and enjoy like the specialty of orthopedic surgery. Completing a prestigious fellowship in complex spinal reconstruction allows me to help patients with any spine condition—simple or complex, big or small. I also had extensive training in non-surgical treatment of spine conditions and patients can expect that I will exhaust non-surgical options before recommending a surgical fix.
The single most important philosophy in my practice is to treat my patients like I would want my family members to be treated. I strive to provide the highest level of compassion and thoughtfulness to each and every patient who comes through my door. I understand the importance of listening to my patients. Everyone has a story to tell. Each person is treated with the utmost respect whether they need reassurance and non-surgical treatment for a minor back strain or major spine reconstructive surgery. I am very proud to say that if a patient eventually requires a surgical procedure, they can rest assured that my PA and I will see them every day in the hospital to make sure their surgical course goes smoothly.
