Robert J Winn
Dr. Robert J. Winn is a Collingswood-based physician who specializes in family medicine. He has over 15 years of professional experience and dedicates his career to helping underserved populations get the medical care they need.
He graduated from Villanova University in 1993 and then enrolled in Drexel University's Hahnemann School of Medicine’s Doctor of Medicine program. He earned his Doctor of Medicine in 1998 and then began his residency in the Department of Family Practice and Community Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. During his residency, he learned how important communication with patients truly is. He realized that sometimes a simple conversation is all that it takes to get a patient on the path to better health. Robert J Winn aims to treat the subsets of the population that the majority of society tries to forget about.
Outside of health care, Winn is also passionate about nutrition and fitness. He started his fitness journey later in his life. With so much time spent on his career, he began to neglect his own health. Near the end of 2014, he realized he needed to make a change, both for his health and so his patients would respect his medical advice. He joined a local fitness studio and lost 50 pounds during six months by working with a personal trainer. While he had the resources to join a gym, Robert J Winn understands not everyone does. Those without access to the gym are still able to prioritize their health. Winn recommends taking a 30-minute walk every day.
