Dr Hirst is #One. He is most knowledgeable, spent more time explaining everything to me and my husband. I am very sorry he has chosen to move on but understand he will be doing research and teaching as well as seeing patients. I have been his patient since January 2023. I learned a great deal from him and his thoroughness has gotten me to heretical today. I’m sure many of his patients are sorry.

He informed me that he will be accepting a position at the University of Rochester. He will be missed as we have developed an excellent relationship over the years.

One of the best physicians I have had the pleasure to have taking care of me. A true shame he is leaving the practice, but good for him in pursuing his dream.

Dr. Colin was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He has a great bed side manor. I had many questions for the doctor and I was impressed with the time that he spent with me. More medical professionals should take note of this.

Dr DeSantis was my cardiologist for about 30 years. He is semi retired and only sees patients in an office that is almost 110 miles. He handpicked Dr Hirst for me and did a great job!!!

He took the time to give me the background behind the condition, what he was testing for, and what would happen if the test results proved to be positive. Then called me the same day to tell me the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Hirst to anybody!
