I cannot say enough good things about this practice! We moved back to montgomery county from Baltimore and Dr. Hirsch was recommended by our last pediatrician and many other local moms! Both Dr. Hirsch and Dr. Olexa are wonderful with both of my children! Their assistant, Sandra, is also fantastic! We've seen her at every visit and she consistently has the best bedside manner!

My 3 children (19 and two 17 year olds) have been seeing Dr. Hirsch since they were born and we couldn't be happier with him! He is kind, patient, knowledgeable and very thorough. He never rushes us. The rest of the staff there is wonderful too. I love Latrice! She has been so helpful to myself and the kids on more occasions than I can count and she always has a smile on her face.a true pleasure to talk to during visits!

I have three children ages 8,5, and 3 and all of them have been seeing Dr. Hirsch since birth. We cannot say enough about how warm and welcome the office is-- from the front office staff to the themed offices with sanitized toy buckets-- they make you and your child feel comfortable once you walk in the door. We've never had a long wait and they always do their best to fit in a sick visit ASAP if needed. Dr. Hirsch is kind, knowledgeable, and doesn't push unnecessary medicine on your children.
We have unfortunately had to leave the practice as we moved and can't do a 2.5 hour drive to the pediatricians office! Thank you Dr. Hirsch and staff for a great 8 years of keeping our kids healthy! We appreciate all you do and we will miss you!
