Doctor's Bio
Dr. Mark J. Hinrichs, MD, is a double board-certified physiatrist specializing in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) and Internal Medicine at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. He also serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine.
Dr. Hinrichs helps patients reduce pain, restore function, and improve their quality of life through comprehensive, nonsurgical care. His clinical expertise includes physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, nonsurgical orthopedic care, stroke rehabilitation, lymphedema treatment, and the management of chronic musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions. Whether patients are recovering from an injury, illness, or surgery, he works closely with them to develop personalized treatment plans that support long-term recovery and independence.
Dr. Hinrichs believes every patient deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. He approaches each visit with the understanding that every person is worthy of his time, attention, and care. By listening first and partnering with patients in their treatment decisions, he focuses on helping them achieve their highest possible level of function and quality of life.
His philosophy is simple: the patient is the most important person in the room. His goal is not to want something from his patients, but something for them, to help each person live with less pain, greater independence, and the best quality of life possible.
