Courtney M. Winterer, D.O.

Biography

In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and children. We're big Sporting KC fans, so we are often attending those games. We also play lots of unique board games, and I enjoy reading historical fiction.

Care Philosophy

From newborn to age 18, I seek to help children reach their potentials to be as healthy as they can through preventive care. I have a team-based approach, which includes the child, the parents, the family and the health care team -- to make sure we're treating the child with the most holistic care we can give.

Area of Interest

I enjoy all aspects of being a pediatrician, but some of my interests include newborn medicine, community pediatrics and social determinants of health.
