Dr Hersh is a great doctor, professional, caring and takes time to listen and help me. 5 stars got him and wonderful staff read more

I walked into Dr. Hersh's office ready to quit running. For most people that probably sounds like a great idea but for me it was a devastating prospect. I love running but I've suffered from chronic shin injuries since I started running anything over a half marathon. Over the past 5 years I tried literally everything to solve my problems. I saw doctors & physical therapists, had gait analyses, strength trained, got different kinds of shoes, tried the barefoot thing, I lived in compression socks...I could keep going but you get the idea. Nothing worked. As the years went by, my training became, not how many miles a week I ran, but a struggle to do the bare minimum of my training program. Each year the injuries came sooner and I knew I couldn't keep doing it this way. My last hope was Dr. Hersh. A girl in my running group recommended him and I made an appointment the next day. The online booking system is super easy and I was able to get in quickly. After rehashing my long tale of woe, I told him that I wanted to keep running and was looking for a long term solution. Dr. Hersh was patient, listened to the whole story, and ultimately ended up prescribing aggressive stretching and custom orthotics. Even though I'm sure I sounded a little crazy, I was thrilled that he addressed my problems and recommended some things that I hadn't heard before. I appreciated that he really took the time to evaluate my individual situation and was genuinely interested in helping me find some answers. He and his staff were also great about helping me find the most cost effective way to pay for my treatment, which was amazing. I held back tears yesterday as I crossed the finish line of the Chicago Marathon. Not because the race went so well (it didn't - running a marathon with a cold was not one of my better ideas) but because, with my custom orthotics and stretching program, I ran the entire race with NO shin pain. ZERO. It's really a miracle. I have always ended up with stress fractures after my previous marathons. Not this time. I'm so happy, I could cry. Really, you have no idea. Thanks to Dr. Hersh, I can replace my time worrying about not running with time actually running. Now instead of thinking of quitting running, I am excited for the possibilities. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Hersh!!! read more

Dr Hirsch saw me for 5 minutes to confirm what I already knew. I had an ingrown toe nail. It was decided to schedule a separate appointment for the procedure. Checking out I was told my appointment was $150. I called Dr. Hirsch and explained how I believed this was obscene. He was to charge an additional $250 for the procedure on top. For a new first time patient, there was the ability to do what was right and roll both appointment costs into one $250 charge. Many doctors I have spoken to since speak to the ability to move on their.m costs and do what is best for their long term business and patient. Transparency and taking care of patients is not a priority for this practicing podiatrist. I cancelled the second appointment and sought additional care elsewhere. I'm sure rent is high in river north Dr Hirsch. read more

Dr. Hersh is such a great doctor. He performed 2 surgeries on my son to correct his flat feet. I was really worried about the procedure, and the recovery, but Dr. Hersh did such an amazing job. He is very meticulous in his work, and is extremely knowledgeable. But honestly, but best thing I liked about Dr. Hersh is that he is so nice, so laid back, and is never in a hurry to get on with his next patient. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Same goes for his receptionist Juanita! read more

Dr Hersh is professional, humane, easy to talk to and - he listens. He answers questions and is willing to lay out alternatives for a patient. I respect his ability and knowledge. I really admire his keeping up with new technology and developments in his field of medicine. Occasionally his office overbooks but the wait usually is short. read more

I had gone for a long walk on Monday and could barely get home because my ankle was killing me! I've sprained it very bad twice in the last two years. Bummed because of the pain while being on vacation, I contacted Dr. Hersh's office Tuesday morning to see if he could get me in - he did! That evening at 6:00pm. He took some x-rays and thankfully nothing was broken or fractured, but he discussed some of the possible reasons for the pain. We decided on physical therapy which I'm starting on Saturday with Athletico. Before I left the office, Dr. Hersh gave me a shot of cortisone in my ankle. I had a slight limp last night but this morning my ankle felt so good that I did the same walk I had done on Monday and had no pain! I'm so relieved. Dr. Hersh saved me! Miracle Doctor! Thanks so much! read more

Dr Hersh was excellent. I just returned from my visit to his office and, after going to two other dr's regarding my foot issues, Dr Hersh gave me a completely different diagnosis which is more accurate to my symptoms and he gave me more thorough explanation of what was going on and why it was happening. I highly recommend Dr Hersh! read more

Dr. Hersh created the concept of "good doctoring"--because at the end of the day--he cares--about you and your situation and he won't rest until he can help you. Even if it means giving you other resources--if he doesn't do your specific kind surgery. Indeed there is no "end of day" for Dr. Hersh. If you need guidance to open mindedness--to a real healer's listening abilities, or info on where to get medical equipment--he is beyond kindly available. He provides hope--when there is none and in my book--he is a saint. If you asked any of his peers in his industry what they think of Dr. Hersh, they would go on and on about his talents as a podiatrist and surgeon. And they would expound about how nice of a guy he is. read more

Luckily I found an opening on the day of that I needed an appointment through booking on zocdoc.com. I came in early as a new patient and had a small amount of paperwork to do. Once I was finished I was immediately called back with no wait time. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful with answering my questions. Dr. Hersh was just as great! He was super friendly, calming, and informative as he broke the news to me that I had completely ruptured my Achilles' tendon. He did a quick manual test and was able to diagnose my situation and put me in a cast within minutes. His professionalism and patience was very much appreciated as I was pretty upset that I needed surgery. He made sure I had all my questions answered, provided all my options, and made me feel as comfortable with my new path forward as he could. I'd definitely recommend coming into this office for any of your needs! Zocdoc is a great website/app to book though, it shows all their available times and lets you take a picture of your insurance to upload. read more

After my daughter dropped a laptop on my foot, Dr. Hersh made time to see me immediately. He took an x-ray in his office, read it on the spot, diagnosed my broken toe, and gave me a "boot" to use until it healed. So easy, so quick, and totally painless. He was completely professional with a great bedside manner. He took the time to answer all my questions with patience and empathy. I did not feel like I was being rushed out as is often the case with many doctors. To top it all off, his office was both clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Hersh to anyone and everyone experiencing any foot pain or any other foot-related issue. He is the only doctor I'd see if my daughter decides to break my toe again! read more

I love Dr. Hersh and his wonderful assistant Juanita. I have never said this before but it's a pleasure to come to this doctor's office. I usually hate doctors appointments but Dr. Hersh is so good at what he does and Juanitta is so nice that I look forward to my next appointment. read more
