Rex Winters MD, is an interventional cardiologist who always had an interest in physiology. He felt that medicine—specifically cardiology—would allow him to combine his interest and knowledge to advance cutting-edge technology and high-quality care. During his training he completed an internal medicine residency, a cardiology fellowship and an interventional cardiology fellowship.

Interventional cardiology was undergoing a technological revolution during the time Dr. Winters was in medical school. As he entered the field, he knew he would be able to grow his skill sets for many years to come. Even now, interventional cardiology specialty is still advancing.

“Cardiovascular care remains highly dependent on evaluating patients in person,” he describes. “It’s that doctor-patient encounter during consultation and routine visits that I enjoy the most.” He says that the diversity of patients and cardiovascular challenges that he sees on a daily basis keeps him motivated.

His experience and skills within interventional cardiology as well as leadership and compassion for his patients are what differentiates him from others in his field. His mother was a teacher and his father a welder. He says it is the experience of his childhood that allows him to remain humble and caring in his medical practice.

Dr. Winters has been recognized annually for the past 20 years, and most recently in 2021, by Super Doctors in the area of cardiology. His main leisure pursuit is golf, but as a father of five daughters and a grandfather of four granddaughters, he says his interests are directed by his girls.

Patient Reviews

November 15, 2024
Yes, I was overly appreciative of his time and his experience. Made me very comfortable and also very aware of what I needed to do and made me feel very comfortable with the fact that what he's doing is for my interest and very much for what I need done. I'm very overwhelmed by how much better he was than other doctors that I've seen from Cedars to St. John's and I appreciated all of his help.
November 15, 2024
Dr. Winters is the only cardiologist I trust to care for me and my family.
November 13, 2024
Rex Winters was a great doctor. He was able to explain everything going on with my health. He recommended an echo. We're going to get that scheduled and then we're going to do a follow-up in a year. So it was a great doctor's office visit. Very informative. I didn't wait too long. It was great.
November 13, 2024
Well everybody and every thing seems to be working out fine.

November 04, 2024
A brilliant physician - who listens and observes. Very respectful. A warm and welcoming staff who are also kind and respectful. A clean and comfortable office.
November 04, 2024
The need to fill in one or more forms, which I had already filled-in within the year, and the year before, seems excessive. A week ago I "updated" numerous forms, including my emergency contact information. At this latestet appointment, I had to again sign this emergency contact form. I found this silly and annoying. Also, a week ago I had provided my emergency contact's birthdate, but as of this latest appointment, this piece of data was missing. Most annoying.

October 23, 2024
Yes, I would just like to say that the front desk gal was just most helpful since I was a new patient in helping me to maneuver the machine, I'll call it, to get the information that you needed. And I deeply appreciated that. Thank you.

Very friendly, professional and makes you feel comfortable.

October 02, 2024
Good experience. Only comment is that the ultrasound tech was coughing and said she was OK. I would prefer that someone coughing so near me with my current lung infection would wear a mask.

I'm very thankful to have found Dr. Winters. My initial cardiologist after my heart attack was afraid to let me exercise at all - which very negatively affected my quality of life. I was able to work out things with Dr. Winters to my satisfaction. I'm very happy with the care rendered.

After I seen the doctor which was great, it took 15 to 20 minutes just to provide me with my next appointment, the receptionist was very slow and would answer the phone instead of taking care of me right in front of them, very

There is nothing that needs to be improved upon by either this doctor, the office staff, or the facility. It is just excellence. I want to say I made a mistake on the question regarding was I able to get into the office as soon as I wanted to. I pressed too quickly. The answer is yes.

My doctor is Dr. Winters and he is very, very thorough and he's always very receptive to what you have to say and he listens. And I just went to see him and I can't believe it. I didn't wait but 15 minutes. Thank you.
July 30, 2024
While getting an appointment was a little bit challenging, I have to say that at my appointment, I was very impressed with not only the doctor, but the staff, the office, and everything about it. Very smoothly run. I appreciated how the office was run, even how it was decorated, how the room would feel. Everything was just really top-notch and very professional. It was a great experience, and I would have no problem making recommendations. Okay, thank you very much.
July 29, 2024
Dr Winters is great, but it is hard to get an appt with him. After having tests done, you have to wait 2-3 months to see him again for results. He says he will see you, but reception always says he is booked for at least 2 months.
July 29, 2024
Dr Winters and his staff always provide me with the utmost care. Always has all reports available that he needs to review with me. Explains medication how they are helping me and if I should have any side effects which were discussed to call him right away. Discussed future tests that he will be doing and appointment scheduled before leaving the office.

May 13, 2024
Hi, this is (PHI removed). Dr. Winters is the best, and I would like to change my first answer because I misunderstood the response. So I didn't know that there were four options. I just thought one was no and two was yes. So anyway, the first answer should be a four instead of a two. So he's awesome. He's the best. Thanks, Dr. Winters.

Yes, the doctor was fantastic, very, very nice. We really, really appreciate it. We'd be happy to go back anytime we need to go. By accident, I pushed one when I meant to hit two. My finger slipped. And just to let you know, two all the way, the doctor was fantastic. Ten all the way, he was great. I want you to know that. So my wife is very, very happy with this doctor. She felt safe. She felt not happy. He answered all her questions and she's a great doctor. That's all we've got to say. Fantastic doctor. Thank you again for calling us and letting us know. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Yes, my name is (PHI removed) and I came to see the doctor on Friday, this past Friday. I left his office just feeling amazing. I feel hopeful. I feel blessed. I'm so grateful that I was recommended and I went and saw him. He's very informative. He took my needs seriously and he gave me hope that I'm going to live and it's going to be okay. He's actually the fourth cardiologist that I've seen and I've been to Cedar Sinai, HOAG and I've got to tell you, by far he is the best. So he will definitely be my cardiologist from here on out. So thank you and please tell him again. I thanked him that day but sincerely, thank you. Alright, you guys take care until I see you in August or September. Bye.

April 02, 2024
I have been nothing but happy and completely satisfied with Dr. Winters and the office staff. I'm very confident in their treatment and follow up and would recommend Dr. Winters and staff to anyone I know in need of cardiology care. Dr. Winters also is connected to some very good partners which I have consulted with on several occasions. I feel like I get complete cardiac care without exception. I will be moving out of state in the near future and one of my biggest regrets is that I will be leaving Dr. Winters, his staff and his medical partners behind.
April 01, 2024
I cannot say good things enough about Dr. Winters and his staff at the office. Dr. Winters was not my original cardiologist. He was actually the second opinion, and I trust him completely with my life. I am so glad that I met him. I'm so grateful for how his staff and Dr. Winters himself treated our clients. I actually referred my husband to Dr. Winters as well. Thank you so much for the professional service that you provide. I really have all my answers, questions. Dr. Winters has never felt or appeared to me like he was intimidating or didn't want to answer. He always takes time answering all my questions in the language that I would understand. Thank you so much.
March 26, 2024
Dr. Winters and his staff have always been very accommodating. I've had no problem whatsoever in getting appointments made whenever necessary, whether it be just for a general checkup or for EEGs, etc., etc. Dr. Winters has always been available, more so than most doctors that I have to deal with, and that's going some. So yes, I would definitely recommend their office. He seems extremely knowledgeable and willing to work with me in developing a pattern or course of action for my cardiac conditions. So I give him a yes, definitely.
