Dr. Hynes’s new colleague in the practice, Dr. Tu, shares her same fine qualities that keep me going to their office. He took time to carefully explain my situation and my test results and answer my questions thoroughly.

I was pleased with the overall visit. At times I had a difficult time understanding the last technicians explanation of the upcoming procedures (speech issues).

Everyone was very respectful and excellent at explaining the process. They were very open to my questions yet I didn’t have as many as I thought because they explained things and a way that were very understandable. Their demeanor was welcoming and educational.

I have been a patient with Dr Hynes for a long time now and see her every 6 months. She genuinely cares for her patients well being. She is very informative and professional. Her staff is usually very friendly.i only had one issue with a staff member in Feb 2026 who became argumentive and unprofessional. She argued with me accusing I didnt have health insurance and unwilling to listen. She had advised me to go home and reschedule appt. I was stern, one phone call resolved the issue. This senior citizen has a clear mine and still employed and not a pushover.
