Dr. Hinni is an amazing surgeon. From diagnosis to follow up, he was absolutely superior. You will not find a more patient, compassionate or skilled surgeon. I am very thankful to him and his team.

Unlike other reviewers, I did not have a very positive experience. I found Dr. Hinni dismissive of surgical risks. The hospital staff was not able to locate him prior to my surgery and so I didn't have an opportunity to talk with him prior to the procedure. He also did not see me for post-op. I have some lingering issues from the procedure and other questions that I cannot get answered. Not at all what I expected.

Dr. Hinni is the BEST!!!! He is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and experienced, physician/surgeon. His entire staff has the highest standards, experience, and compassion. I was sent to Dr. Hinni by my ENT after my case became so complicated that he referred me to "the very best", Dr. Hinni. I have had surgery performed by Dr. Hinni in November, 2009 and again in March,, 2010. I truly feel that he has saved me live!

This fabulous human being and genius doctor has saved my life with his diagnosis, surgery and post-operative care not once but TWICE. First surgery in 1998 and second in 2008. Of note, 2008 was a completely different problem than "98. Hinni deals with the whole person with a warmth and personal style that sets him apart from any MD I have met. I travel 800 miles several times each year for my follow-up visits.
