"Dr. Robert J Winn is a family physician with over 15 years of experience. Robert’s path to medicine wasn’t an immediate one. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Furman University in 1991, where he studied Neuroscience. From there, he enrolled in a General/Experimental Psychology Master of Science program at Villanova University. It was while he was attending Villanova that he realized he wanted a broader career option than psychology could offer.
He decided to attend medical school to become a physician. After graduating with his Master’s degree, he enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine program at Hahnemann University School of Medicine, now Drexel University College of Medicine. Part of the reason he wanted to become a doctor was because he had a desire to help those who are often unable to get the care they need because of their circumstances. He credits this motivation to his background in psychology.
He received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1998 and began his residency in the Department of Family Practice and Community Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Through this experience, he realized how vital communication was to a patient’s health. Sometimes, all that's needed is a simple conversation to help a patient start on a journey to a healthier life.
Robert J Winn especially focuses on treating patients who are often ignored or shunned by society, such as those struggling with drug addiction. Members of these vulnerable populations often receive sporadic medical care throughout their life, making it all the more important that they receive proper treatment.
With every patient, Robert aims to get them to be an active participant in their health. He encourages them to think in the long-term about their health and focus on disease prevention. As a family physician, he gets to follow a patient throughout their health journey and watch them overcome the obstacles that once prevented them from becoming healthier, and see them reach their goals."
