A Nebraska native, Dr. Hinze grew up in North Platte and attended Creighton University for her undergraduate education. She received her Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine, Philadelphia, PA. She then completed three years of residency training in foot and ankle surgery and diabetic limb salvage at Crozer-Keystone Health Systems, Delaware County, PA. Dr. Hinze returned to her home state of Nebraska in 2006 and has been in private practice in the Omaha metro-area since her return.
Dr. Hinze believes that a “one size fits all” approach to podiatric care is outdated and ineffective. She makes every attempt to meet the patients where they are with their desires to address conditions holistically, conservatively, and if necessary, surgically. Understanding the need to address the underlying contributing issues behind the presenting podiatric complaint is paramount to successful treatment. The time she spends with her patients allows her to develop relationships with her patients that foster an environment of mutual respect and trust. This in turn, allows a more effective course of treatment and enjoyable process for both parties.
Dr. Hinze has extensive experience in treating common and complex conditions in the realm of foot and ankle pathologies. She has developed a passion for venous and diabetic wounds and especially relishes the celebratory moment a challenging wound is healed! Dr. Hinze has expansive knowledge of advanced wound care protocols and products to promote healing of challenging wounds. Over the years of private practice, she has developed close working relationships with vascular specialists and certified orthotist-prosthetists which helps her to better care for challenging ulceration patients.
Dr. Hinze loves spending time with her husband and their daughters. She is an enthusiastic traveler and is thrilled when presented with opportunities to seek out new traveling adventures with her family. An ardent musical theater fan, she seeks out productions whenever the opportunity arises. The remainder of her free time seems to be spent cheering on her daughters at dance and show choir competitions.
Dr. Hinze is licensed to practice in the state of Nebraska and is Board Certified in Foot as well as Rear Foot Reconstruction and Ankle Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. She is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and a Diplomat of the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. She is also a member of both the American Podiatric Medical Association and Nebraska Podiatric Medical Association.
