Overview

I take care of adults and children who are admitted to the hospital. I specialize in caring for adults with chronic conditions of childhood. Caring for patients is what gives my career meaning. I love to see patients who are acutely ill get better, and connect them to resources in the community in order to promote continued recovery after they are discharged from the hospital. When I'm not at work, I love spending time with my wife and daughter, our golden retrievers, and playing video games with my friends.

Dr. Pinkerton is board certified in American Board Of Internal Med, Internal Medicine and American Board Of Pediatrics, General Pediatrics. He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 1 peer reviewed article.
