About Alfred Winkler, M.D., M.B.A.
I believe that patient education is essential to the collaborative effort between physician and patient to achieve an optimal outcome. In my practice, I spend the extra time to make certain that my patients have a thorough understanding of both their illness and the treatment options available. My particular areas of focus are Men’s Heath, as well as voiding dysfunction in both Men and Women. A particular passion of mine is Community Health Awareness of Urologic Disease. I have organized numerous educational and screening programs involving prostate cancer awareness and bladder health.

"Great bedside manner. I'm a relatively young man, so seeing a urologist was a bit intimidating, but Dr. Winkler and his nursing staff were great. Gave lots of information about what he was doing and thinking, and answered all my questions." - Aaron B. on Aug 2, 2017 via ZocDoc
"Best Doctor ever! Very respectful, listens to his patients carefully and had asked me like 5 times if I had any other concern at the end of the consultation. All required tests and examination were done right after my appointment at the same center. Highly recommended. I usually don't write reviews and that's my first review but that doctor is exceptional." - Almoutasem A. on Jul 21, 2017 via Yelp
