While looking for dentist, it might be possible to find yourself caught in a dilemma. On one hand you would like a highly experienced dentist. On the other, you would like a dentist trained in the latest technologies. Good dental schools, like U.C. San Francisco, teach the latest technologies. But what if your experienced dentist graduated, like my childhood dentist did, thirty years prior to the time you climbed into his or her chair.
One need only read the columns written by Doctor James Hinkle, and listen to the many options he provides his patients with, to know that dental school has never ended for this outstanding, dedicated professional. This dentist seems to spend as many weekends and vacations updating and upgrading his technologies as most professionals spend on the golf course.
Having been a Naval Aviator, stationed at the former Naval Air Station Alameda, I know from personal experience that Doctor Hinkle was the only local dentist to be recommended by the Dental Branch of NAS Alameda for childrens dentistry.
My family has relied exclusively on and correctly trusted Doctor Hinkle. My oldest Daughter, age 25 (an NCAA Women's Rowing Champion) returns home for family and for a dentist visit i.e. Doctor Hinkle.
