He had me drive to him (2 hours) numerous times for no reason other than to bill my insurance. He prescribed me anti-anxiety medication (he’s a cardiologist) and when I came to him feeling worse than before he was just trying to push my buttons instead of making it right with me, his patient. Disgusting person and just not a good human. He thinks he knows everything but actually knows nothing. Stay away!

I've been a patient of Dr Hershman for over 10 years. He is a brilliant, compassionate doctor. He saved my fathers life when another doctor and hospital said there was no hope. Best cardiologist you will find!

Dr. Hershman is an excellent cardiologist. I switched about a year ago from a group that was only concerned with surgery rather than exploring other avenues to correct or at least to support my heart condition. He is upbeat, and his credo is one of, "my job is to prevent your condition from getting any worse, and we must try to make it better than it was". " We must never sit and do nothing'........

Have been a patient of Dr. Hershman's for two decades. His level of clinical expertise, current medical thinking, genuine care for his patients and his magnificent good heart have allowed me to feel healthy and secure with him. He has taken me through many fires and is somehow always there with a word of optimism and a medical plan. Cannot imagine anyone more brilliant and compassionate.
