  Growing up in Southwest Georgia, Dr. Krista Cox Hinchey holds southern living close to her heart. Dr. Krista is now happy to call Savannah her home. Dr. Krista’s husband, Paul, grew up in Savannah and now they both are excited and grateful to be able to raise their family in this charming city.

When not at her office, Dr. Krista enjoys spending time with her family outdoors, whether that be on the beach or in the backyard. Dr. Krista and her husband have a little girl, Addy J and a son, Briggs, that keeps them on their toes!
