Brief Intro

"I find it extremely rewarding to be able to offer women less invasive procedures so they will experience less pain and a quicker return to normal activity," says Dr. Winter, who has been practicing in Laguna Hills since 1989. Dr. Winter has developed a special interest in minimally invasive surgery. He has developed an expertise in laparoscopic hysterectomy, removal of fibroids, pelvic reconstruction and bladder suspension. He also supports Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) deliveries. Dr. Winter is involved in teaching new procedures to both residents and practicing gynecologists. He presented his technique of laparoscopic hysterectomy at the International Meeting of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. Dr. Winter completed his residency training at the University of California at Irvine College of Medicine. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He is a member of the American Association of Gynecologial Laparoscopists and the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. Dr. Winter has previously served as a Chief of Women's and Children's Services at Saddleback Memorial. In addition, he is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California at Irvine.
