Alex Winkler, MD, earned his undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Kansas and his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Medical Association.
“I have always wanted to be in a position where I could help people meet their healthcare goals. I chose family medicine because of the long-term relationships you make with your patients and the variety of care I can provide.”
Winkler began his medical career in 2015 as a medical assistant and record clerk at LMH Primary Care – 6th and Maine, formerly known as Reed Medical Group, while pursuing his undergraduate degree.
During his training in Marysville, Kansas, Winkler strengthened his interested in providing care in a rural setting. He has received additional training for Mental Health and Addiction medicine. His primary focus is on providing his patients with collaborative care and support.
“The thing I love most about being a physician is watching my patients grow and change. It’s rewarding to be able to support them as they set goals and reach them. I am excited to be back in Kansas and in a community such as Tonganoxie, similar to the small town I grew up in.”
My philosophy of care is based on the partnership between the patient and physician. We need to explore things and come to decisions together. My role is to educate and help my patients navigate the medical system, to determine the best plan for each unique patient.

Dr. Winkler is excellent at listening and very thorough with providing care! I especially appreciate that he's willing to explore different avenues before adding another prescription to the list.
This was a new patient visit. I needed a new primary care physician after my previous longtime doctor left for a new practice. I am very satisfied that I have found a new replacement.
Professional and so helpful
Great visit. Fairly new patient of Dr Winkler very satisfied with him and his team
It was my first time with this provider, so I dont have enough data to give him top marks. He did great, much much better than my previous doctor. I just dont know much about him yet.
This was the first time seeing Dr Winkler to set up as primary care
Excellent
Dr W is amazing.
Dr Winkler listens to my concerns and goes over all my questions.
Respectful, non judgmental and caring
