I have been seeing Dr Hirsch since about 1992. He is a top notch doctor who has always been very helpful with my very complicated heart/lungIssues. He helped me through a complicated pregnancy in 2000 and I have him to thank for my life and my son. I know he is retiring and is much deserved, but he is irreplaceable in my eyes!!

Dr. Hirsch is a VERY attentive listener and his treatment is respectful. He clearly explained the reasoning behind adding an additional medication to my daily maintenance meds. We discussed previous intolerance of a medication within this family of meds. Dr. Hirsch justified his reasoning behind choosing a different medication in this family, and its history of better tolerance. I was comfortable with adding this different medication from the same family, and contacting the practice if I find that I cannot tolerate it.
