Dr Wingert has been my family doctor for about twenty years now and if it weren't for his staff and nurse practitioner, Jessica Stendal, I would have left his practice years ago! He is a pompous a-- that thinks he is God's gift to the lowly patients that he forces himself to see. He always entered the room already irritated and comes across like you were wasting his time! I never had an appointment with him, that I didn't leave throughly upset. After three years of putting up with his abusive and condescending "bed side manner" I stopped seeing him and began seeing his nurse practitioner, Jessica Stendal. I can't say enough good things about her so I will just say she is wonderful and very thorough! By the way, Dr. Wingert is No Longer with the practice! He has left to be a personal doctor to those who can afford it. I believe it is called a Concierge.

Dr Wingert is very knowledgeable but his bedside manner is at times non-existent. If you are unlucky enough to get there on a bad day, forget it. Whatever you do, don't come in for a sore throat and ask him about something else. He will tell you to make another appointment for that. His staff has always been nice and helpful.

He is the greatest and has the patients interest at heart. Sometimes he gets short tempered, but if you stick with him you will figure out what drives him there and not go there. He IMHO is the best diagnostistion there is. I dread the day he decides to retire. I have been with him since 1994.

I've met with Dr. Wingert for over a year, receiving accupuncture and consulting with him regarding chronic health problems. He's been wonderfully helpful. He responds to questions with helpful and useable information that address the subtleties of my problmes. I've made significant progress with chronic issues that include chronic pain, anxiety, depression and obesity.

My husband and I go to Wingert, along with our one and a half year old daughter. We actually really, really like him. There have been times when I've felt him annoyed by my constant visits regarding my daughter (as a new mom) but I feel that was warranted, seeing as how I was worrying about nothing and he probably gets that all the time. Some of the nurses are grumpy, but there are some very sweet ones who brighten up right away when they see my little girl. I have never felt lectured by him (with the exception of him trying to convince me to get the H1N1 shot, which I disagreed with and ended up not heeding his advice, to no consequence). It's true that Wingert does not suffer the fool, but he gets the job done and really tries to get to the bottom of what's ailing you. Thats all I need/want in a doctor. After all, he's not my therapist; I'm not paying him to make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I'm only paying him to find out what's wrong with myself and my family medically, and help us.

Dr Wingert can be super sweet - or mean and condesending. Unfortunately one must base their visit on how Dr Wingert's day has been going. I have been lectured and made to cry because he starts lecturing if you mention something other than the normal reason you made the appointment - if it's for a follow up - you better not mention anything new or it throws him into a tizzy - and don't mention insurance issues either... he asks the same questions but it seems as though he doesn't really listen to your answers -he also hates to fill out paperwork -

Dr Wingert is fairly knowledable about many things except how to interact and treat his patients with kindness and courtesy. He is rude, argumentative, and whines. On several office visits I had to suffer through his complaining that I had not "Pre"-informed him of a condition that had arisen AFTER I made my appt. I rcvd a lecture on how it was patients like myself that caused him to get behind schedule and how he has 5000 patients to attend and he "didn't have time" for "add-on" issues. I would not recommend this man to my worst enemy. I LOVED, LOVD, LOVD, his nurse practioneer, Jessica, but have NO respect for the doctor.

Biography

Kevin Wingert is a strong believer in preventative medicine. “Sixty-five percent of all disease that physicians treat is related to a person’s lifestyle. These life factors should be addressed before there is a need for treatment, which may result in unnecessary side effects.” He enjoys working with his patients to keep them on the path to good health. “Often simple, inexpensive changes can dramatically reduce a person’s risk of disease.” He believes, “the number of years you spend alive is not nearly as important as the number of years you spend healthy.” In addition to having a traditional family practice, with same day or next day appointments, Dr. Wingert is affiliated with MDVIP, the nations leader in wellness and prevention. Each patient has an annual wellness evaluation with a battery of preventive tests not usually provided by insurance. He limits his entire practice to several hundred individuals so that he may provide a personalized approach to care. Additional fees are involved for these services. Dr. Wingert has also been practicing acupuncture since the year 2000, has done an advanced fellowship in antiaging medicine and can offer prolotherapy, an injection technique for chronic pain of any joint which actually stimulates the body to heal itself. Dr. Wingert enjoys his busy household. His wife, Catherine, an R.N., also has a Master’s Degree in Divinity. The Wingerts have two children, Charles and Mary. Dr. Wingert’s hobbies include hiking, scuba diving, golf, snow shoeing and church activities.
