Dr. Hinshaw specializes in treating both benign and malignant tumors using image-guided ablative techniques like microwave, cryo and ethanol ablation. He cares for various conditions, including kidney, liver and lung cancer, metastatic disease and benign growths such as hepatic adenomas, cysts, hemangiomas and oncocytomas. Dr. Hinshaw also performs biopsies, fluid drainages, diagnostic imaging and virtual colonoscopies.

Dr. Hinshaw provides patient-first care backed by the most innovative medical tools and techniques in the industry. He believes in partnering with patients to support and educate them as they overcome obstacles to their health.

Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Hinshaw serves as the section chief and fellowship director of abdominal imaging and intervention. He also conducts research on the development and improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided medical tools and procedures.
