Dr Alimantado, born Winston James Thompson, also known as The Ital Surgeon (Kingston, born 1952) is a Jamaican reggae singer, DJ, and producer.

Thompson was born in Kingston in 1952, where he adopted the Rastafarian faith at an early age. He honed his talents on local sound systems such as Coxsone Dodd’s Downbeat and Lord Tippertone, and started to record very young under various names (Winston Price, Winston Cool, Ital Winston, or Youth Winston). His first recordings were for Lee „Scratch“ Perry and Bunny Lee - „Place Called Africa Version 3“ and „Maccabee Version“. He returned to Lee „Scratch“ Perry in 1976, recording the DJ portion of Devon Irons’ 12“ „Ketch Vampire“. Between 1971 and 1977 his singles were unreleased outside Jamaica, only being available in the UK on import. He built his reputation with tunes such as „Oil Crisis“ (versioning Horace Andy’s „Ain’t No Sunshine“), „Sons of Thunder“, (toasting over Jackie Brown’s „Wiser Dread“), „Gimme Mi Gun“ on Gregory Isaacs’ „Thief a Man“ and „Poison Flour“, on a recut of The Paragons „Man Next Door“ rhythm. He mainly met success in the mid to late 1970s, with his best known album being Best Dressed Chicken in Town (1978), a Greensleeves Records collection of tracks recorded in the mid-70s, featuring Alimantado toasting over singers such as John Holt, Gregory Isaacs, Jackie Edwards and Horace Andy. His tunes mixed his Rastafari movement beliefs with commentary on events then going on in his community; „Poison Flour“ referenced a recent incident when a number of local Kingstonians had been poisoned by eating bread made with contaminated flour.
