Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2023
Dr.Hinton did my total knee replacement.i was so amazed that there was barley a scar to show. And my knee is great .need surgery on right knee,losing weight for surgery. But have no doubt,I would not choose any doctor, but Dr. Hinton. He is not a talkative Doctor ,but he tells you what you need to know, what you need to do, and explains the surgery well. As far as talking just to talk.thats not him .but he is the best knee specialist around in my opinion. I was glad I was able to get such a gifted doctor in lake charles, that is rare.
