For patients with kidney stones, Dr. Winship’s goal is to help patients prevent kidney stone recurrence. He works closely with patients to determine the causes of their kidney stones to develop the best preventative plan to help them become stone-free.

Dr. Winship completed his fellowship training in endourology at the prestigious Duke University Kidney Stone Center, where he participated in research for laser lithotripsy, shock wave lithotripsy, and urologic imaging and metabolic evaluation for recurrent nepyrolithiasis.
