Dr.Hersh is professional without compromising warmth, knowledgeable and efficient. He reviewed the PFTs done prior to the visit with me. I always have time to ask any questions I may have and I never feel rushed. I was brought into the exam room immediately after the PFTs and was seen by the doctor.
