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.

Great doctor! Took excellent care of my parents for 15-yrs, (both had colon cancer). He's taken excellent care of me for 20-yrs +/-. He puts me at ease when conversing and never talks down to me. He's extremely knowledgeable & thorough. Has a great bedside manner & sense of humor. That may not seem important, but when dealing with possible life threatening situations, these traits build trust. Doctors could benefit from his example. Also, his staff is kind, caring & professional.

This Dr. scheduled a colonoscopy for me at Griffin hospital. The first day I was supposed to start "the cleanse", I called and was shocked to hear they cancelled my surgery because they were not accepting the "financial agreement" with Husky D. If you're not going to accept a specific insurance, then DON'T CLAIM YOU DO! They claimed they sent me a letter, which I did not receive. His website STILL claims they accept Husky D even though he apparently "refuses" to do so. Don't waste your time!

Dr. Hirshorn is a wonderful doctor! He answered all of my questions + concerns. He is very personable with a sense of humor. When I needed surgery, he explained the entire procedure to me, what I would expect with recovery, etc. He was always available after hours when I had questions. Very smart, helpful and a trustworthy Doctor! His staff was great too, very kind and helpful.

Dr. Steven Hirshorn is truly a "miraculous medicine man!" During our first appointment together, he asked me what I felt my medical problem was, and I told him, "My ******* is angry!" He responded with empathy and just a touch of humor, both reassuring me of his open-mindedness and explaining to me the his surgery procedure. Steven Hirshorn M.D., truly wins first prize. His compassion, brilliance, and comedic wit are uncanny, and he honors the medical profession with his excellence.
