“It’s our duty to give patients their choice,” Dr. Hynes said in a Becker’s Spine Review article.  “I’m not always smart enough to know what the best choice is for any one individual, but I’ve practiced many years and learned that if you take time to educate patients to all the reasonable options, they will make good decisions and take responsibility for them.”

He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu and completed a spine surgery fellowship at Harvard University in Boston.
