Our Approach
A new level of knee surgery & treatment
Our expertise means options, and our care means you’re in the know from start to finish.
Each of Dr. Winegar’s locations have their own unique capabilities for your specific need. If he’d like you to have a knee replacement at Everest Surgical Institute, your procedure would be enhanced by a computer navigation system that ensures minimal invasiveness and pinpoint accuracy.
If he’d prefer to operate at Treasure Valley Hospital, Dr. Winegar will use a medical robot - the Stryker MAKO, which has brought enormous improvements to patient outcomes. Wherever you see Dr. Winegar, you will benefit from knowledge, compassion, skill, and the very best science has to offer.
Locations, Science & Process
Outpatient Emphasis
Dr. Winegar knows far too many instances of rushed surgeries and recoveries leading to problems worse than the original. We do believe in speed and efficiency, but we do not believe in cutting corners or rushing, just to get you back working or playing “as fast as possible”.
In line with this, we do everything in our power to ensure your operation will be outpatient, meaning not staying overnight. But knees differ, injuries differ, and body responses differ. Rest assured that if an overnight stay is required, you will be in the most caring hands possible.
Long-Term Health, not Short-Term Fixes
Fixing knees is our passion. So for knee replacements, we give you the tools you’ll need over the long-term in a single guide, which will help you before and after surgery. We believe attitude plays a big role in successful outcomes, and this guide will help it. It’s full of the same things you’ll experience when you walk through our doors: positivity and encouragement, all to help you get back to the things you love.
