I first saw Dr. Hirshorn several years ago for a weird lump on my shoulder that seemed to pop up overnight. I found him to be very personable and professional and he put me at ease immediately. Moving from the Healthcare mecca in Boston, we were pleasantly surprised to find him. I have since seen Dr. Hirshorn now several times for knee issues and he is keeping me comfortable with cortisone shots until I decide to have surgery.

I had my left knee surgery done on October last year and my right knee operated on the October 16th this year which improved my mobility and improved back and knees pain. I am 74 years's old. Thank you Dr. Kurt Clifford Hirshorn for your professional work with your magic hands. Thank God for sending you to be my surgeon.

I found Dr Hirshorn to be be very personable and caring. He took the time to answer all of my questions about a potential hip replacement surgery. I liked his straightforward manner as it was important for me to trust him. I had been in excruciating pain for some time and had lost my quality of life. The surgery went well and I returned home the same day. I am now back to my old activities and doing well. My surgery was done at St Anthony’s. Dr Hirshorn’s surgical staff receives kudos as well. I will be forever grateful to him for using his skills and talent to help me. Thank you and God Bless…

My experience has been great. Dr. Hirshorn was very straight forward about how he could help me and what should be expected of outcome. He & office staff were very easy to contact & prompt response even after surgery. He is an awesome physician!
