Dr Hirst is one of the best physicians I've had. He is a great diagnostician and solves problems others have missed. He also is extremely caring. I go to him when I need expertise in pulmonary care.

I haven't seen Dr. Hirst for years, but he's awful. Poor communication & treatment abilities.

Dr. Hirst's office is a work of art. Time is easily and pleasantly passed there. Most importantly he's experienced and knowledgeable. Has assisted me through some pretty tough times and did so with class.

His incompetence is so profound it borders on the malicious. He is crude, profane and it is clear that he cares nothing about the patients unfortunate enough to be seen by him. At no time did he expend the effort necessary to follow up on my serious condition, I could have died. A horrid physician and an even worse human being.
