Ashley Hinson, MD

Life is precious. I’m so grateful for the opportunity every day to walk alongside children and families through highs and lows, helping them understand their diagnoses and feel better as we work together.

I supported both of my parents through their own cancer diagnoses. Walking their journeys with them taught me about the complexities of caring for patients with these diseases and how it impacts so much of their lives. 

I am board certified in pediatrics and pediatric hematology-oncology (cancer and blood disorders).

I specialize in treating:

• Bleeding and clotting disorders
• Leukemia
• Lymphoma
• Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
• Severe aplastic anemia

I am the director of pediatric hemostasis and thrombosis and the director of outpatient operations at Atrium Health Levine Children's Cancer & Blood Disorders, a facility of Carolinas Medical Center. I have been named a Charlotte Magazine Top Doctor for several years. 

As a Hyundai Hope on Wheels grant recipient, I’m the lead principal investigator for a study on immune dysfunction after completion of chemotherapy. I’m also a principal investigator for a clinical trial using edoxaban for thrombosis and crovalimab for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and another for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

I’m involved in quality improvement initiatives, studying the best use of computerized patient health portals and the best methods to improve patient and family-centered doctors' rounds. 

I received my medical degree and completed residency and a fellowship at Duke University.

My husband, an attorney, and I have 4 daughters and a yellow Labrador. Our family keeps us busy running to dance or soccer practices, taking walks, hiking, traveling or just watching movies. I love getting outdoors into the sunshine and reading, especially fiction, leadership and inspirational books.
