Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor. She doesnt rush and answers you questions fully.

Avoid this practice
Avoid this practice. As a long time patient of Dr. Hirsch, her office and care has gone down. Office staff has made errors over and over interfering with necessary medication, procedures or appointments.

Long time disappointed patient – Sep 19, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hirsch?
Disappointing!! I have Graves Disease and Hyperthyroid. I was bullied into getting an RAI from Dr Hirsch which Im glad I never followed thru with. This was a premature call on her account bc she wouldn’t give the new medicines I was on a chance to work which they did therefore there was no need for RAI. An RAI could have bad side effects which she denied. She told me there are no side effects. I spoke with many folks who had it done and regretted getting radiation therapy. I also have other autoimmune diseases and Im disabled so who knows how I would do with and RAI. Graves disease would just go on attack another organ, radiation won’t stop it. She had no interest into getting to the root cause which I thankfully have the expertise, wisdom and discipline of doing myself. 4 other doctors I saw agreed with me that her call was premature. The worse of it all was Dr Hirsch told me not to come to see her until I have the RAI done. This was unethical to say. It is also bad bed side manner

Awful. Rude. Nasty. I was having trouble with my sugars and my regular doctor was out of the office. This woman is the worst. I waited over an hour in the waiting room and another 49 minutes in exam room. As she came in, I got an email on my watch and she scolded me for looking at it.

This has to have been the worst experience I have ever had with ANY doctor. I waited over an hour to be seen and another 30 minutes in the room for her to show up. She has very limited social skills and does not look to help her patients.
