Patient Reviews
Mar 01, 2023
Always treated well from the time I enter the office till the time I leave. The interview with Melissa brings out what your needs are. Then when Dr Hershkowitz comes in it a fast what's wrong and he goes over what is needed at the time. Both very professional and very understanding. I have been seeing Dr Hershkowitz for 11 years and he has been a great doctor for my needs. From office visit to surgery center both have been great. The only thing that I feel that could improve is someone picking up a phone call in the office.
