Patient Reviews
Feb 09, 2023
He takes his time to listen to you and has a great manner about him. Dr. Hinshaw is very kind, knowledgeable and caring. All of his staff is very kind and helpful also. As I was telling his daughter on one of my checkups I have been his patient for almost 20 yr. Dr. Hinshaw told her I was a lifer. We all got a laugh. He is correct I will go to him until I don't need to anymore, meaning until I go to Heaven. Thank you Dr. Hinshaw for being a great and amazing doctor. Thank you Shirley H.
