Testimonials

"I feel like a new person after both hips were replaced by Dr. Winchell. Dr. Winchell is an excellent orthopedist, as well as a swell person. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs them. His office staff, x-ray technician, nurse and assistant (Chad) are always pleasant, efficient and helpful."

~Jeanelle S.
"Thank you for great service during Bruce's surgery. You dealt with his other health issues, while explaining all procedures to our satisfaction. Thanks for having the BEST in & out doctor visit time in Savannah!!!"

~Bruce E.
"I was VERY impressed with Dr. Winchell, as he was the most caring physician I have ever been to. He spent approx. 30 minutes with me to fully understand what my problems were and how, moving forward, what my options were for treatment. I have been to other doctors in Savannah and I did not receive the genuinely caring treatment that I received from Dr. Winchell."

""Truly one of the most gifted and greatest surgeons in the world. God has blessed you and gifted you with a special talent in caring and healing. May God continue to shine his blessing on you forever.""

~Gerald C.
"I am a 56 year old male who was suffering with osteoarthritis in both knees. I was apprehensive about having my knees replaced at my age but after researching the ceramic technology employed by the Journey knee I was satisfied the knees should last the rest of my life. I now enjoy life more than I have in years. Also, I cannot thank Dr. Winchell enough for the excellent care and for changing my life for the better. You are a true healer in every sense of the word and the world is a better place for having you practice your craft."

~Samuel K.
"I am 61 and have a family history of osteoarthritis which I inherited. After my bi-lateral knee replacement, I was surprised that I felt as good as I did within a short period of time. I don’t find that I’m limited in doing anything that I want to do."

~ Charmaine S.
"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful doctor I think you are!"

~Sharon S.
"I can’t imagine trusting anyone to do my surgery other than Dr. Winchell. The knowledge he has for all aspects of his profession makes me comfortable with my decision to have the other knee replacement. His staff is patient and caring; they go to great lengths to put their patients first. He obviously went to great trouble hand-picking his staff; which shows how important his patients are to him."

~ George W.
"I am 71 years old and I strongly recommend Dr. Mark A. Winchell for this procedure (both hips replaced) and have been more than satisfied with his service and his team."

~Gene H.
"Thanks for giving me my life back!"

Your Specialist, Dr. Winchell

Dr Winchell was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He grew up in Northern Virginia with his parents and two brothers. He decided to become a surgeon at the age of 10 and has remained steadfast to his dream ever since.

He turned down his appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point to attend an accelerated medical school right out of high school.

He graduated with Distinction from the University of Missouri and trained at one of the top orthopedic surgery residencies at Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center in St. Louis, Missouri. He did a research fellowship in Osteoarthritis while training.

After working as the general orthopaedic surgeon for Southcoast Medical Group in Savannah, GA for 2.5 years, he started his own practice in the Savannah area. He is ABOS Board Certified in General Orthopaedics and sees children and adults.

He lives with his fiance Cheri Wheeler and their four "canine children" Tux, Bella, Chance and Savannah. He recently lost his oldest "Best Friend" Maximillian to cancer. He enjoys boating, hunting, skeet shooting, fishing, hiking/camping, SCUBA, and a good nap.
