Verified patient
I was running a few minutes late to my appointment and the office staff couldn't be nicer about it! they took it all in their strides like the professionals they are, and were very understanding of my reason s for not being on time. As soon as I'd filled the little paperwork I was asked to fill out, the doctor was ready to see me with a smile. Dr. Hersh is a warm individual who very clearly cares about her patients. All in all, they've made a wonderful first impression!
