Dr. Steven Hersh, MD

I came to get an EKG regarding my medications I take ordered by my psychiatrist. He made several rude comments about the supposed ‘non necessity of me getting an EKG’ and couldn’t understand why my Dr ordered these tests. I explained several times the symptoms I was feeling, and Hersh was only focused on the fact that I had supposedly not lost weight since my acl surgery in 2018, which is a lie. He then continued to comment on my weight, telling me I need to make extreme changes to my lifestyle in order to no longer be obese. He even attached a “healthy lifestyle” information sheet to the end of my session notes, and this was after me telling him I go for walks everyday, and go to the gym regularly.He was not even concerned about the reason I had come to him in the first place, and I left extremely embarrassed and very uncomfortable. Just be warned!

Post visit notes were not only wrong but made assumptions, would not consult with me over medication nor levels of medications, messed up the post visit notes, I called the office regarding his screwup and he changed the notes to what I asked and then added he found the error, a complete lie, maybe he was a good doctor in the past but he could barely open a pdf file, and now over perscribes meds. I would never go back to that place and that is to his bad notes am struggling to have those fixed. I had to screenshot everything because you cant trust that office or him.

I am 72 years old and work presently as a contractor. Dr. Hersh was my cardiologist since 2013. 2 years ago,he became angry at me. He started inserting sarcastic insulting remarks in his clinical notes. None of those remarks were included in the summary that I received. Dr. Hersh never revealed those remarks to me. Last October, my primary care physician read those notes. He e-mailed those notes to my agency. My agency cancelled 2 months of assignments, costing me thousands of dollars.
