Dr. Windorski is skilled in open surgery as well as minimally invasive laparoscopy and robotic-assisted surgery. Whatever the procedure, he enjoys the difference he can make in a patient's life.

"Surgery is a great way of effecting immediate change in a patient's health," he said. "A patient comes in with appendicitis. They hurt. They don’t feel well. I can take them to surgery and get that appendix out, and they generally feel much better when they wake up. I think that's a powerful thing and a very rewarding aspect of being a surgeon."

When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Windorski stays busy by spending time with his wife, two children and two dogs. His family especially enjoys cooking and spending time outdoors.
