About Alexander T Hinckley
About the Provider
Excellent medical care starts with being a good listener. My job is to help you meet your health goals. That can only happen when my patients feel seen and heard and are active participants in their health care decisions.
In my practice, I focus a lot on preventive medicine. Many of my patients want to know how they can reduce their reliance on medications. Often, they can reach those goals by making healthy lifestyle changes. I’m passionate about culinary medicine and love being able to share exercise and nutritional advice with my patients. It’s extremely rewarding to see the difference it makes in my patients’ lives.

I think that rating of “very good “ isn’t high enough. Dr. Hinckley deserves an excellent rating.

I am not just a number with him.
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/25/2025
I believe patients should feel respected and at ease during their medical appointments. And I feel that doctors should always show a level of professionalism, which I feel Dr Hinckley did not show on that day. And my hope is that he learns from this experience. As for me I will be looking for another provider.
