Gulfshore Business names Daniel Winokur to 40 Under 40 List

---

U.S. Oral Surgery Management (USOSM) recently congratulated its surgeon partner Dr. Daniel Winokur, DMD, on his recent 40 Under 40 recognition by Gulfshore Business. Winokur, 38, is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and partner at WestShore OMS Specialists, a USOSM partner practice located in southwest Florida.

Gulfshore Business is a business-to-business magazine covering news from Naples to Fort Myers and northward to Port Charlotte. The publication receives hundreds of nominations for its annual award, recognizing 40 of the region’s most extraordinary young professionals — men and women under 40 who excel in their profession, give back to the community, and inspire others.

Richard Hall, USOSM president and CEO, said in a news release that Winokur is highly skilled and compassionate.

“He is an exceptional oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is committed to making a difference for his patients, his practice, his community, and his industry as a whole,” said Hall.

Gulfshore Business described its 40 Under 40 special edition as highlighting individuals who demonstrate the drive to succeed, the passion to pursue their dreams, the caring and commitment to improve the quality of life for all of us.

“These young members of our southwest Florida community are true inspirations,” the publication said.

Winokur is board certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery, as well as in anesthesia. He provides a full scope of oral and maxillofacial procedures and has extensive training in trauma, dentoalveolar and pathology surgery.

Growing up as the oldest child in a family of pediatric dentists, Winokur wanted to forge his own path when choosing a career. He went to work in finance, interning at an investment firm on Wall Street and then working full-time at a trade desk, first in Manhattan, and later in London.

“There were parts of it that I really enjoyed. However, it wasn’t my true calling. When the markets crashed, I had the opportunity to do something else, and I chose to go into oral surgery,” said Winokur. “I like the complexity of oral surgery. Nothing’s ever boring. It’s diverse and challenging, and I enjoy helping people. Oral surgery gives me a chance to help people through painful times in their lives, and it’s tremendously rewarding to make a difference like that.”

Winokur volunteers with the Neighborhood Health Clinic and as a study club leader, encouraged decreased narcotic use as a means of postoperative pain management. He is passionate about maintaining best practices for safe and effective anesthesia use in the treatment of both pediatric and adult patients. Previously, Winokur served as one of the team oral surgeons for the National Football League’s Washington Redskins, Major League Soccer’s D.C. United, and the National Women’s Soccer League’s Washington Spirit.

He attended the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, where he earned his DMD, as well as a certificate in public health and the university’s Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery award.
