Dr. Winslow was a very talented man and surgeon. He performed surgery on my face when I was only 17. Hence, my face went through a windshield it was shattered. He was caring, patient and he will truly be missed. Today I am 47 and I often think of him. He will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Winslow. We sometimes think that certain people are invincible. And while I only knew Dr. Winslow as a employee, I will always be indebted to him and his associates for granting me my first, what I would refer as "a real career job". A great man, a great surgeon, a great husband, father and grandfather. My thoughts are with your family.

Dr Winslow operated on my hand in 1973, It was necessary to remove 2 fingers. I am a pianist. His decision to go the less radical route was with deep concern and compassion for my recovery and my future. He was my doctor, my counselor, my friend and my support. Thank you, Pat Beyle Chapel Hill, NC
