Timothy Scott Winkler, PA-C
Physicians Assistant

By rescuing one boy from a wrecked car, he found he can help free more of debilitating injury and pain.

For Timothy Winkler the moment is forever etched in his mind. He was a firefighter. He rescued people, often taking them to a hospital and usually never seeing them again. Then an 8-year-old boy he’d pulled from under a car a year earlier, walked into the department where he worked to say thank you.

It was then Tim knew he wanted more. He wanted to work where he could be involved in some form of continuation of care. Today, he’s still rescuing people in a very real way. He’s part of team that helps people walk again, move again, and free them of debilitating pain.
