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.

Dr. Hinkamp performed a bilateral lung transplant when he was at Loyola. I’m still alive 22 years later with no problems from the surgery. Outstanding surgeon!!!

I saw Dr. Hinkamp for a mass in my lung. It took it seriously and was very through in his testing. I had early stage lung cancer. He performed surgery and now I’m cancer free. He was kind and explained everything. He made me feel extremely caress for.

I was diagnosed with an Atrial Mxoma (tumor in the heart chamber), Dr. Hincamp saved my life. Also had a hole in my heart. I am so lucky that he was the one who was on the staff at the hospital when this happened. Love him, and his Physician's assistants. Can't say enough about all of them.
