Emily Winfrey, MD

Hello!  My name is Emily Winfrey.  I am from a town not far from Springfield called Hartville. I grew up on a cattle ranch that my family still runs today, and had the joy of raising several bottle calves along the way. I have a younger sister who I played basketball with growing up, and I traveled for her AAU basketball tournaments as an assistant. Missouri State University was my home during my undergraduate years before going to Mizzou for medical school. I married my high school sweetheart and became a new mom during my third year of medical school.  

I love family medicine and chose it as my specialty because of the continuity of care I get to have with patients. Relationships are a major part of what fills my cup, and I love that FM allows me to develop those relationships long term and gives me the opportunity to care for patients of all ages. I am so happy to be with CoxHealth FMR because of the excellent training it provides to its residents, its full scope of practice, and the wonderful people I will be spending so much time with over the next few years! 

In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband and son, Duke. We love to hang out with our families, serve in our church, and go on walks with our dog. Growing up, we did a lot of floating on the Niangua River, which we still try to enjoy time to time. We are also huge sports fans and love to plan getaways to Arrowhead to root for the Chiefs when we can.
