Brooke A. Winner, MD

"Dr. Winner (She/Her/Hers) is a fellowship-trained, board-certified minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and the Medical Director for Gynecologic Surgery at Swedish Medical Center. She specializes in the treatment of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts and other gynecologic conditions. By doing two additional years of dedicated surgical training, and never having practiced obstetrics, she has been able to focus her entire career on gynecologic surgery and performs a very high volume of laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy and laparoscopic excision of endometriosis. Most of her patients are referred by general obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs), for surgeries they deem too difficult. Dr. Winner is able to offer a minimally invasive approach to almost every woman including those with extremely large fibroids, Stage IV endometriosis (including bowel endometriosis), and patients with known or suspected adhesions (multiple prior abdominal surgeries, prior pelvic infections or mesh in place). She is passionate about patient care, and she loves to educate her patients about their diagnosis and options. Reflecting this, she has received numerous patient satisfaction awards and was rated in the top 10% of all Washington University physicians, and is highly rated on Google, Yelp, Vitals and Healthgrades. She has several peer-reviewed publications in journals including The New England Journal of Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, and Gynecologic Surgery. Her research interests include improving minimally invasive gynecologic surgical outcomes, and making less-invasive treatments safer and more available to women.
