Dr. Winakur operated on my knee fixing a torn meniscus. He did a fabulous job but he also clearly explained what was going to happen. And for my follow-up he answered my questions in plain language- no doctor-even. He is

Dr Winakur treated my mother about ten years ago, when she was in her nineties with such care giving her reason to continue treatment to better herself as she did not want to disappoint him.

ever since for whatever ails me due to my falls. He is precise in his findings and treatment of your problem. He only suggests surgery when other solutions will not solve your medical problem.

I was seen right away by the receptionist. The forms that needed to be filled out were sent to my home weeks before the appointment. So everything was easy and quick. When I was called back it was minutes after

The Rosedale office is a Gem! As a patient, I found it clean, friendly, and an office that gives personal attention to each and every patient who enters. Dr Rich Winakur is just the very best. He listens to you,

Dr Winakur was my ortho surgeon 7 years ago after I sustained an injury which required a metal plate be afixed to hold my broken collarbone together. It was a severe break, in fact it was broken completely in half
…
and overlapping. Dr Winakur operated and fixed that problem and for that I am truly grateful. Fast forward to this past week…as fate would have it, I sustained another similar serious injury. This time, I knew exactly who to call. Thank you Dr Winakur, I already know I’m in good hands again moving forward.

I have only had experience with one doctor here, Dr. Winakur, but the experience has involved several surgeries and has been excellent. Definitely my “go to” for any type of orthopedic issue.

It has been one year now since you performed my bilateral knee surgery, so it seems appropriate to celebrate this anniversary by telling you what a superb result you made possible – along with the one month inpatient physical therapy

I am in the process of recovering from a third joint replacement surgery performed by Dr. Winakur in the last 2 years. I have found him to be professionally friendly, personable, and an excellent communicator. From my initial appointment through
…
the most recent surgery, Dr. Winakur has been thorough (and correct) in evaluation and has given me easily understood explanations of the surgical procedures to be performed. I received good instruction on preparing for each operation and excellent aftercare information. I have recovered quickly from each surgery; amazingly, at age 68, I returned to horseback riding 8 weeks after the second hip replacement. Commenting on this, my physical therapist (not associated with Towson Orthopedics) told me that the patients who recover from orthopedic surgery the best are the ones who have the best surgeons. I can only agree. Many thanks to him for his part in greatly improving my quality of life.
