My boyfriend had a clump of hot solder drip in his eye, be was in excruciating pain and hadn't been able to open that eye since it had happened. (Approximately 24 hours) I found Dr Winchester on this Web sight and called her office, she was not in the office but her wonderful receptionist told me she would be dropping in for a little bit after 5pm and to bring him in. (Knowing he had no medical insurance) Dr Winchester stayed in the office until 7:30 PM (well past closing) to help my boyfriend. She was VERY nice, caring, compassionate and best of all she's a wonderful Dr!! My boyfriend can be pretty grumpy when he's hurting that bad and she knew just how to handle him and the situation. I would recommend her 1000 times over to anybody!! Excellent office all around!! :-)
