Additional services included upper and lower GI endoscopy, minor surgery, cardiac stress testing, osteopathic manipulation and a variety of injection therapies for pain management.
In 1996 Dr. Hinkle integrated a more holistic approach into his personal practice by utilizing dietary modifications, nutrition & lifestyle changes to enhance results. He is constantly looking for ways to better address issues of quality of life and longevity. His practice in St. George opened in Feb. 2008, and is focused on working with patients on achieving their health care goals.
