Overview

Services

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.

He also explained things the way we could understand and answered all the questions we had. He developed and plan of treatment and through we had a lot on our mind he made us feel better. Thanks Dr. Hirsch! He is absolutely wonderful.

Thanks for getting us in where you could. The care we receive even when it isn't our primary doctor is always so nice. The entire building is so nice it makes the visit not feel like a burden or chore. So thank you everyone!

It was very easy to schedule the appointment to begin with. We are new to Wisconsin, so the process took me only a few steps. It was very easy. A provider was available, an easy date and time option was available. The front desk staff was wonderful and very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Hirsch was very kind. He was thorough. He answered all our questions in detail. We will be staying with him as the primary care provider for my kids.

Rushed sick visit with the provider. We saw him for a total of 5 minutes. I didn't see or hear any other patients in the office. Why the rush?

Dr. Hirsch is the best! He got my kids in for a strep test right away and was so clear about what we needed to do once we got a positive test. We love coming to Forest View, specifically for Dr. Hirsch!

Dr Hirsch and staff always go beyond what is expextee with my children's care. He calls personally with follow up and is 100 percent thourough with his appointments. If I need him while my child is at college he will do a zoom call. Very happy with this office and will continue to use until my son ages out of the office

I would like to start out by saying that CJ in the check in desk was absolutely amazing, she was so kind, respectful and caring. She welcomed us and made checking in super easy. We saw Dr. Hirsch and he was great! He listened to my daughter and myself and got a great plan going and moving forward. He was very kind and caring about the reason we were there and took excellent care of us. He went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was taken care of and received the care she needed. Thanks so much Dr. Hirsch for all your help!! You're the best!!

I really appreciated Dr. Brian Hirsch. He listens, he takes his time, and he reads up on the history of my kids. And I really appreciate that about Dr. Hirsch. It makes the experience about everything else even more positive.

Dr. Hirsch and the nurses at Forest View are all great! They are helpful and make my kids feel comfortable and make our visits pleasant experiences. I've already referred several families to Dr Hirsch and will continue to do so!

Dr. Hirsch was the best pediatrician we have seen in years. He was thinking outside of the box and asking all kinds of questions that no one else has asked us for a reoccurring problem. We really appreciated his service.

Dr. Hirsch is simply amazing. Our family has had nothing but the best experience with him. Dr. Hirsch truly listens to our concerns and knows common trends within my kiddos and when we should treat and when we should wait. I wish all providers could be as aware as he is to parents concerns and individual treatment. Not everyone is the same. Thank you Dr. Hirsch!

My son commented how well the nurse wrapped his wrist. He wished he didn't have to take it off
