Dr. Hinchcliffe is everything I hoped for as I faced a vulvar-region carcinoma diagnosis. A published research author of novel cancer treatment, Dr. Hinchcliff is extraordinary in her depth of knowledge in her field. She delivers quality treatment with an authentic human touch and the gift to communicate medical information effectively. From our initial meeting to the post-op final follow-up, I knew Dr. Hinchcliffe was on my side; she explained her plan of treatment with an elegant simplicity that I found enlightening and reassuring; she met my every concern with respect for my need to understand. She was amazingly effective in managing her support team as they worked to gather data and make appointments for tests and surgery, and also managed my expectations of care every step on the way.

Dr Hinchcliff is everything I hoped for: She is scientific and serious while personal and communicative. She connected to me as a person and expressed clearly the strategy and action she is taking on my behalf. She is a top rate doctor and an authentic person. I never felt handled or managed— rather heard and cared for. She has good people working in her team; she is on top of the details, it seems that she gets the best from people by giving the best she has. It was the best experience I’ve had in a doctor’s office that I can remember.

She investigated my tests and symptoms thoroughly, showed me the possibilities for my surgery so I could see what was expected. Then, my surgery went well, tests were made to know where I stood and my recovery went well also. I could not be happier with the results and the information she provided to me so I could understand my issues. I have already recommended her to a co-worker with gynecological problems that may need Dr. Hinchcliff's expertise.

Dr thoroughly double checked my doctor’s work by examining me to make sure it made sense with the report. If she had only gone by the report I would’ve thought she had not thoroughly examined me.
