Dr. Hirsch’s bedside manner was disappointing. She documented that I “self diagnosed” myself with ADHD and that, because I’m “bright and usually think [I am] right,” it was difficult for me to accept disagreement. Apparently, asking questions about diagnostic reasoning is a personality flaw. She was condescending, attributed longstanding symptoms to depression despite my explaining they predated it, declined to review my symptom list, and never consulted my longtime therapist, who also suspects neurodivergence. I also experienced poor communication about medication changes and felt dismissed when discussing discontinuation after four months. As a Licensed Midwife and MFT graduate student, I value curiosity, humility, and collaboration. Instead, I felt my questions were treated as challenges to her authority. There’s a difference between clinical confidence and ego, and unfortunately, ego was my takeaway. I would absolutely not return and recommend seeking care elsewhere.

This was a disappointing session. Dr. Hirsch came into the appointment hostile and when I was having issues with my camera she made some condescending comments. I had mentioned I have autism and she said snarkily, “there’s no medication for autism” and then proceeded to say that just by looking at me she doesn’t believe I have autism. It all came off very arrogant. Not a practitioner who leads with compassion.
