Member Feedback:
"Dr. Hersch was very thorough, obviously very knowledgeable, and was able to explain a difficult situation. I felt respected and he gave me several options in which I am extremely appreciative of. After speaking to him, I feel far more comfortable going back to my physician knowing what I know now."
