About
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and I'm so excited to be coming home after many years in Illinois (It's lonely there for a Packers fan!).
I have been happily married to my wife, Shani, for 27 years, and we are the proud parents of seven children -- Conor, Brendan, Liam, Owen, Fiona, Nuala, and Maura. As a father of many and an uncle of 32 nieces and nephews, I am thrilled to be part of a large, loving family, and I feel equally honored to be a part of my patients' families. I treat all my patients as I would my own family and understand the setbacks and victories, the hard times and happy times in each of their lives. Being a pediatrician is such an awesome privilege, for which I am so grateful. I recently said goodbye to my very first patient, Ethan, after seeing him for nearly 22 years -- since day one in the hospital. And I have also become a "grand-pediatrician" to my former patient, Emily, who now brings the next generation to me -- her baby, Annie. While it is bittersweet to see my first patients grow into adults, I am so excited for these next fun-filled years at Westbrook Pediatrics! What a fabulous team we have here, and I am so thrilled to join them!
When there is free time, I love to explore the wonders of nature, hike through woods and fields, wade in a stream, wander the shores, garden and farm, and spend as much of my time as possible outside with my family.

Dr. Hirsch is pretty much family to us. Honestly, he treats my kids like his own and genuinely cares about parent input and concerns. My husband and I love him and our kids look forward to seeing him because they know "Dr. Hirsch makes me feel better." For this visit, his schedule was booked and we had to visit with a separate provider. When we got to clinic he already knew my daughter was coming and moved her to his schedule. We can't thank him enough. Please share this comment with him :)
Very good at answering questions and providing education verbally and on the AVS
He was great!
Dr Hirsch is very caring. We've been with him for many years. He has my sons best interest in mind.
We had a great experience
