Stephen E. Winston, MD

As an undergraduate student, I found myself very interested in the studies of social sciences and philosophy. As a result, I pursued a PhD in medical sociology. I wanted to teach doctors how to have a “good bedside manner”, but found that my calling was actually practicing as a family physician, not just teaching them.

I have been practicing in the Fairhope Community for my entire 22-year career. I work, play and pray here and with MDVIP, I feel that I will have the opportunity to continue to do this. Most people agree that their physicians are competent and knowledgeable, but they are unsure that their doctor really knows them. It takes time in the office to really get to know a person, and MDVIP will allow us to spend the time together that is a necessity for this. We can work together to forge a plan of healthy living and be able to uncover the issues that could cause potential health issues later. If illness or injury do occur, take comfort in the fact that you have a partner that is available, knows the medical community, and most importantly, knows you!
