The Hirsch Pediatrics Story...

The trust you place in your pediatrician is an honor as well as a significant responsibility. To ensure the optimal physical, emotional, and social development of your children, it is important to have a pediatrician who shares your philosophies on healthcare.

I would like to tell you about some of the core principles that drive my practice of medicine:

  1. Care for your children with a team approach that involves input from the parents and the children.
  2. Educate parents and children on all medical decisions via discussions, handouts, and Internet resources.
  3. Embrace technology in managing health information to provide a higher level of care.
  4. Advocate for optimal physical, emotional, and social health of all children.
  5. Utilize principles and recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics for guidance.
  6. Commit to the most up to date medicine by reviewing the leading medical journals and attending medical conferences.
  7. Act conservatively with antibiotics and use only when there is a clear indication.
