Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was & am fortunate to have Dr. Hinz for my Rheumatologist. He is patient, explains everything I need to know, he didn't push immune-limiting drugs on me, & was/is generally a great specialist who has an awesome bedside manner. I'm blessed to have found him, & that was through word of mouth. I would recommend Dr. Hinz to everyone who needs a specialist in his field.

I just started seeing Doctor Hinz in October 2020. He is a wonderful compassionate man and makes you feel so comfortable talking to him, even crying now and then he consoles you. I highly recommend him. He explains everything he is going to do and takes the time in doing it, not rushes through it. =)

Dr. Hinz and his staff are AMAZING! I have never had a doctor make me feel so listened to, and heard, in my entire life. He is very professional and definitely knows his stuff. He clearly explained things regarding my condition and a path forward. He is very friendly, quick witted and relaxed. I think if all my doctor appointments were so enjoyable, I would probably be a hypochondriac. LOL!

I have seen Dr. Hinz for several years for an auto immune issue. Recently my pharmacy messed up and was not going to be able to get my injectable medication to me on time. It just so happened that all of the doctors were out of the office when I called to get a sample of my medication to get me by until the pharmacy could get my prescription out to me. The on call service connected me with Dr. Hinz and he offered to swing by the office and get the medication for me on his day off. Never have I ever seen this kind of patient care in my 41 years of dealing with the health industry. Thanks so much for your above and beyond service in this situation!

Dr Hinz is an amazing dr. He actually listens, I’ve told him personal stuff about getting a puppy and 4 months later at my next apt he remembers and ask questions about how the puppy is doing and seems to generally care about his patience. I’ve been seeing him for years and it’s always been positive.

I have been seeing Dr. Hinz for five years. He is caring, knowledgeable, progressive and never gives up on an issue. His staff is incredible. Unfortunately, what started out as a 15 to 20 minute wait to see him, has turned into an hour or longer wait time. I realize that he is very busy and on demand, but it is more of a wait than I care to endure. My last visit was at 8:20 a.m. (2nd appt. of the day) and I was still in the office for an hour, most of it waiting to see Dr. Hinz. Too much for me.

This is my Mother's Doctor. I drove her to her appointment today, then went back to the room with her. I am really happy with Doctor Hinz. He listened and talked to her like a compassionate human being. He has a great, happy attitude that made us very comfortable. It was very nice to have an interaction with a Doctor like him. Refreshing. I wish there were more like him.
