I have been receiving Neurofeedback for a few months and am loving the results. I feel more creative, smarter and more organized. I am reading faster and with greater comprehension. Overall, I feel sharper and more on top of my game. Most of all, I am grateful. Thanks, Dr. Gil. I feel extremely confident referring people to you for help, especially those with minor or major brain injuries.

When I decided to go to “Insights to Health” to see Dr. Gil Winkelman for the first time it was because like a lot of people, I wanted to explore what Naturopathic Medicine could offer. After having a couple of issues that came up with being a 40 year old Male who hasn’t always eaten right throughout his life, but became fed up with conventional medicine Doctors who only had time to discuss two issues per visit, spending no more than fifteen minutes with me and then just handing me a bunch of prescriptions that really didn’t fix my problems and seemed to make things worse.

 

Well let’s just say that going Dr. Gil Winkelman is not like going to any other Doctor you have ever been to and to just give Dr. Gil Winkelman a glowing recommendation is an understatement, as Dr. Gil Winkelman is a wonderful Naturopathic Doctor and has become a wonderful friend as well.

 

Dr. Gil Winkelman and “Insights to Health” is the Best-Kept Health Secret in Portland, Oregon because there is no other Doctor in Portland that listens to your health problems and concerns with more knowledge, understanding and empathy than Dr. Gil Winkelman does.

I have been so happy with the care that I have recieved for my two kids, ages 5 and 1. Dr. Christie Winkleman has given easy, simple steps that we have added to our routines to support their health. My husband was skeptical at first because they were helathy to begin with, but recently told me he was wrong and that he believes in what we are doing because the kids have continued to be healthy and thrive. It feels good to know that I am doing everything I can do support their health and development in these early stages of thier lives!

After consulting my primary care physician several times about the same health issues and not finding solutions, I was frustrated. I decided to see a naturopath, despite the fact that my insurance wouldn't help to defray the cost - and it has REALLY paid off! I have worked with Dr. Christie Winkelman for about six months (on a schedule I could afford), and she put together a customized treatment plan for me each time I saw her. The changes in diet and lifestyle that she has recommended have yielded great results - I'm feeling better and my body is behaving as it should. Dr. Winkelman's attentive, considered approach has been terrific!

For the most part, I am a healthy person, who takes care of myself. I have discovered that, as in most professions, even doctors can lose their zest for their work and I didn't always get the best advice or care. I was referred to Dr Christie Winkelman, ND and have finally found in her, a doctor who is passionate about patient care! I think of her as my "health detective" because she takes the time to listen to me, asks questions and does research, in order to resolve my health concerns. The clinic is new, has a great location & lots of free parking. It has a welcoming atmosphere and a hot beverage bar for patients. Very upscale!

After only three sessions of neurofeedback with Dr. Gil Winkelman, I am noticing a definite improvement in my concentration, focus, and ability to do many complex tasks without being overwhelmed.  I feel as though I am finally coming out of a longstanding fog!  In addition to having a gentle and kind bedside manner, Dr. Winkelman is very skilled and knowledgeable both about neurofeedback and medicine in general.  He has also recommended natural medicines that have improved my overall health and well-being, and I look forward to further improving and maintaining my health with his holistic approach even after my neurofeedback sessions are over.  I couldn't be more pleased.

I saw Dr. Gil Winkelman a number of times regarding some issues I had with sinus congestion. He suggested that I follow a 'anti-inflammatory' diet and prescribed some homeopathic remedies that were quite helpful. I noticed a definite improvement in my condition and was impressed by the connection between this diet and the congestion.

Dr. Winkelman was very knowledgeable about the possible naturopathic treatments and was very patient and easy to work with. I highly recommend him for your naturopathic doctor needs!

My previous encounters with conventional and naturopathic physicians have been infrequent, but always haphazard: prescriptions and remedies seem random and there's never enough follow-up to ensure that I am on the right path. So, Dr. Christie Winkelman is a welcome change: she has provided the coaching I needed to follow through with an effective treatment plan. She explained how she would investigate potential diagnoses, what diets would help, how remedies worked, when I should check-in. And most importantly, she did check-in and we did tweak the plan. This assurance motivated me to continue recommended remedies and my condition has resolved. I was very impressed with her positive diet recommendations: they focused on healing foods that I should eat rather than a list of forbidden foods. Denial just fires my desire, so this approach really worked for me.

Our family has seen Dr. Gil Winkelman for several years.  He is practical, insightful, and compassionate, and works well with adults as well as children.  No matter our concern, acute or chronic, he has been able to help us.  Dr. Winkelman has a special ability to understand what is going on at a deeper level, both physically and emotionally, and explain things to us in terms we can understand.  He has taken the time to really get to know us, and has helped our whole family to experience a much higher level of health.

I just attended The Child's Journey:  Maximizing Early Potential for a Lifetime of Wellness, and it was riveting.  Dr. Christie Winkelman's presentation was interesting and educational.  She presents information on caring for young children with a fresh perspective and incorporates ideas and theories not commonly presented on this topic.  Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Winkelman's personality is such that one feels encouraged to ask questions and is put at ease.  She is open, approachable, smart, intuitive, empathic,humble, and entertaining.  I highly recommend her as a speaker and as a physician.
