TESTIMONIALS
"Dr. Ashley Winter is an exceptional physician and a rare find in women’s health and urology. I’m 45 and knew something was off in my early 40s. After starting HRT about a year and a half ago (the estradiol patch was a game changer), Dr. Winter helped me further address what was still missing by thoughtfully and responsibly incorporating testosterone into my care. The difference has been meaningful.
What I appreciate most is that she listens, explains the physiology clearly, and never minimizes symptoms or defaults to outdated, fear-based narratives around hormones. Her approach is evidence-based, nuanced, and deeply respectful of quality of life—not just lab numbers.
She works within the broader women’s sexual health space alongside Dr. Rachel Rubin, whose work I also highly respect. I’m genuinely grateful for Dr. Winter and her team, and I hope more women feel empowered to ask questions and seek care that truly serves them."

"...Dr. Winter and also her administrative team online have been nothing but caring, like truly caring as in check in on me, follow up with me, call me to make sure I have everything I need etc., kind and professional AND the treatment is working. We are continuing to tweak doses to see if it could get even better (!) but man, it's a world of difference already. My energy levels, mental and emotional health, as well as my physical health have improved drastically!!!
It might take a minute to find the right doses/combination of treatment, but this is real, science backed and tested medication that makes a difference, and I am so so grateful for the hard work Dr. Winter and her team are doing. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Winter and hormone replacement therapy."

"Dr. Ashley Winter is absolutely outstanding! I’m not surprised people travel far and wide to see her—she is absolutely worth it. She spent over an hour and a half with me, reviewing all my treatment options with exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. She never rushed, made me feel truly heard, and explained everything clearly. I left my appointment feeling empowered and hopeful. If you are looking for the very best care, I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"Dr. Winter is a kind, caring, and unbelievably helpful urologist and sexual medicine specialist. A few months ago, Dr. Winter took an hour out of her evening to speak to my sarcoidosis support group about sexual health. She spoke about how our sexual health can be impacted by a chronic illness and generated a wonderfully open discussion about how sexual health IS health. She was extremely knowledgeable and created a safe space for us to have the most intimate of discussions. Thank you Dr. Winter for all that you do and are doing to help patients!"
