Dr. Hinkle is from Grand Island, Nebraska, where he grew up his entire life before going to college.
He got his undergraduate degree in Animal Science from Kansas State University and decided he liked Manhattan, Kansas, so much that he would stay there for veterinary school. He graduated with his DVM from Kansas State in 2021 and spent one more year in Manhattan at a small animal practice.
Dr. Hinkle then moved to Raleigh with his wife, Daria, and their fur baby, Maya. During vet school and his first year of practice, Dr. Hinkle developed an interest in surgery and exotic companion animal medicine. During his free time, Dr. Hinkle likes to explore all the hiking areas around Raleigh with his dog. When he’s not outside, he enjoys playing video games and watching movies with his wife.
