Marc Winter's Online Review Report Card

Do not use this doctor. Dr. Marc Winter, performed a robotic myomectomy, (a minimally invasive surgery to remove uterine fibroids). The surgery took longer than expected, and Dr. Winter informed my husband that he had found and removed numerous fibroid-like cells from my uterine lining. At the time, we were relieved, but months passed without any sign of a menstrual cycle. I returned to Dr. Potter at HRC Fertility, where he had to perform a procedure to see what had happened. When I woke up, I was devastated to learn that my entire uterine lining had been scarred. They gave me less than a 5% chance of getting pregnant. Dr. Winter scared up my entire lining which caused me not to be able to get pregnant. I am still in the IVF/surrogacy process with hundreds of thousands of dollars due to his procedure. Don't listen to anyone who says you need to remove fibroids.

Terrible 2 years!!! I was being seen by Dr. Winter for a couple of years. He misdiagnosed my condition and had me on the wrong antibiotics for years. I would never recommend this doctor! Do your research before wasting your time with this doctor!

Cons: examines me without a female nurse present. Says he wants to see how big my fibroids are without reading my ultrasound or CT scan results. He pressed down very hard on my around my stomach and on top of my stomach when I had a huge tumor in my abdominal cavity. He does this to see if you could do minimally invasive surgery to remove it. He doesn't even have to press down this hard to crush my other organs. the other OB/GYN was gentle. He is not trained to remove extremely large fibroids without giving you a vertical incision. Even then, he doesn't have as much experience as other specialists in San Diego to remove fibroids by open myomectomy. He quoted me the wrong price for the surgery. He also was very rude and tried to yell at me just for asking a question about vertical incision. He pretended that he was trying to be safe. He was trying to hide the fact that he was not very experienced. I went with an experienced surgeon at UCSD and she was able to remove my extremely large fibroid and she did not use a vertical incision. No blood transfusion either. I went home the next day after surgery. You will need someone to help you and take care of you after the surgery because you will be very sleepy and tired from taking the medicine from the hospital. You will need to eat a high protein, diet drink, lots of liquid and eat fiber, so you will not have constipation. I also took iron supplements with orange juice and it helped me feel better. It will take you about nine months to feel good, but it will take longer for all your nerves to regenerate. If you have smaller fibroids, I recommend looking into U FE or uterine fibroid embolization. If you can feel your fibroid and it's really big, asked to get an MRI so you can determine if you qualify for minimally invasive laparotomy or a myomectomy (extremely large fibroids).

Superb doctor I am so grateful I was referred to Dr. Winter. I could not have asked for a better gynecological surgeon. He brings years of experience and expertise in the field. His bedside manner is excellent. He changed my life for the better and I feel extremely fortunate!

I've been Dr.Winters patient for over 20 years. He is an outstanding doctor who takes time to listen to his patients. I've had 3 surgeries with him and wouldn't trust anyone else. He is awesome!

Excellent, caring doctor and great team!

I had my children with dr Marc 20 years ago! The best OB GYN ever!!!! I can't say enough great things about him! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Winter has been my Ob/Gyn Doctor since 2013 when he did my surgery. He's been the nicest most understanding doctor that I have ever met. He's the best doctor in the area in his field. I only have praise for him and I thank him for helping me get back on my feet!

I've been a patient of Dr. Winter for a few years. It all started about 3 years ago when I was in desperate need of a 2nd opinion for my pelvic pain. Dr. Winter listened to me and agreed to do laparoscopy and sure enough he found endometriosis and small fibroid. He was able to remove all the endo and the fibroid. He used the Robotic system which left me with minimal scarring. I felt instant relief within a couple weeks pain was gone.I had to undergo another procedure with him recently and I am doing amazing. He informs you of all your options and is always there to listen to your needs. He is an extremely skilled surgeon and I highly recommend him to treat any of your gyn needs. Thank you Dr. Winter for taking such great care of me. I am forever grateful to be in such good hands. Thank you for everything you have done for me! On to the next chapter in my life pain fee.

Very thorough, doesn't guess, doesn't allow mistakes. Very professionel.
