Dr Hersh was great as always. Spent time with my child and listened to her. Talked with her and addressed her problems and helped her through them in a way she could understand. Appreciate him always !!

Dr. Hersh is the kind of doctor who changes the world. His expertise and integrity lead his care. He began providing care for our son during a time when other providers continually overlooked him, brushed off my concerns and were quick to label him as a lost cause. Dr. Hersh has always seen my son as a human being with intrinsic value, worthy of the necessary medical care. He has changed (and truly saved) our son's life.

Dr. Hersh was amazing. He took the time to actually listen and explain why he took the approach he did in ordering testing. He was very patient and kind. He genuinely cared about my sons condition and made sure all of our concerns were addressed prior to checking out.

Dr. Hersh is by far the most amazing doctor I've ever met. He was thorough, attentive to all of my concerns, explained everything clearly, and my child absolutely loved him. The very next day, we happened to see him at the hospital during speech therapy, and my child ran up to hug him-Dr. Hersh even remembered his name. He personally called me to go over my child's bloodwork, which meant so much. His care is truly phenomenal, and he deserves an award for his outstanding dedication.

Labs were ordered at this visit and Dr. Hersh has taken the time to personally call and give me the results. I very much appreciate his time and attention to my health and over wellbeing.

Dr Herst and the genetic counselor were excellent. Dr herst was wonderful with our 6 year old son- so playful and this helped him feel safe and relaxed.
