About Me
I am an infectious disease specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I diagnose and treat patients for various conditions including cellulitis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis and HIV/AIDS.
I enjoy getting to know my patients, which allows me to better understand their diagnosis and develop treatment plans that work best for their individual situation. I educate my patients about their options and empower them to take an active role in their care as we work together toward successful treatment.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I serve as the residency program director for the Department of Internal Medicine, and I am a clinical professor in the College of Medicine. I enjoy educating the next generation of physicians, often including medical students, residents and fellows during clinic, which keeps me on my toes and benefits the patients. In addition, I am the advisor for the Christian Medical Association student organization at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

very professional and friendly
Friendly listened to me about my issue
I absolutely love my doctor's bedside manners and his attentiveness to me and my concerns.
Dr. W is an exceptional physician. He listens well with alertness to make sure he hears and understands everything the patient says. He takes time to explain anything that isn't understood. I trust Dr. W and would strongly recommend a friend or relative to also see him. My case is not an easy one to contemplate what medicines are needed, antibiotics to use in addition to ones I'm already taking. A lot of things to consider yet I trust that Dr. W will make the best decision and continually check with me before constructing a plan.
Outstanding care
Kind, efficient, knowledgeable
Fantastic.
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Winninger. He is the best! I have been seeing him for many years and he is always very kind and understanding!
Dr. Winingere was very careful, thorough & efficient. I found his sense of good judgment to be quite reassuring.
Dr. Davis the BEST. He's friendly, at ease, and talks directly to his patients (me) very personally. He answers all questions, and gives additional suggestions. He's the kind of doctor ever patient needs, and wants because he sits quietly, and listened attentively to all questions. He's not in a rush - one doctor I have NEVER sits down during my appointment! Most of my physicians are wonderful, and I'm so blessed for that.
Care provider had prepared for my visit by reading my chart. He spent time listening to my concern and offered encouraging advise.
I've been seeing Dr. Wininger for 22 years. He is great. Always on top of my questions and issues.
