So thorough and attentive. She really made me feel seen and understood and did not brush me off like so many other doctors do when I told her how I’d been feeling lately. When I called about my blood results she returned my call almost immediately and walked me through my results one by one. I can’t say enough good things about her.

My appointment with Dr. Hirschler was quite delightful. She was on time, professional and very thorough.

It was my first time meeting her and I am quite happy with her bedside manner.
Verified patient
You know how some doctors make you feel rushed when you’re at your check-up? I did not feel that at all with Dr. Hirschler. She took her time to go over my forms with me, asked if I have or had additional appts with other healthcare professionals (thus checking in holistically).
Verified patient
I hadn't gotten my psychical done in a while and it was very fast and easy. They answered all my questions and were very helpful.
Verified patient
Dr. Hirschler was extremely professional and kind. She took the time to listen and provide excellent medical guidance. She was non judgmental and took her time. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I felt heard.
Verified patient
She was great, I had a new patient appoitment and really took the time to get to know me and take precautionary shots needed. She’s great!
Verified patient
I had an excellent experience with this doctor. The wait time was minimal and there was no endless booklet of repetitive forms needed to fill out. The doctor takes her time and makes sure to answer all of your questions. The only negative thing I could say is that she did not take her mask off the entire visit (neither did the nurse). I don't know if this is a hospital policy but it feels very impersonal to never see the face of the doctor who is caring for you. Besides from this, everything was great and I would highly recommend!
