Dr Hersh is wonderful!
I called for an appointment yesterday and I was able to get one early around maybe 4:45 and then they called back with a cancellation and I was there at 1:15. So I'm usually always taken care of in a proper manner at a proper time. Thank you.
Nice experience with pleasant employees. Doctor Hersh is the best!
Dr. Hersh was was incredibly accommodating to squeeze me in with somewhat of an urgent cyst complication. She is compassionate and supportive, and goes above and beyond for her patients. I am very grateful.
Everyone was helpful & polite!!
Everyone especially the doctor was excellent. I ask lots of question and I was satisfied with all the answers and explanations given. I was not rushed and they gave me consideration (at 83) to be patient! Extremely pleased!
They all took their time to listen to me, I did not feel rushed or like a bother. This was my first appointment with a new provider, since my doctor retired, and let's just say I'm happy I made the right decision choosing this place!
Friendly staff and great care. I felt comfortable and not rushed.
Professional and courteous , clean welcome environment. However, would have liked to have scheduled my yearly appointment at the end of my visit today instead of having to wait until June to call to schedule my next appointment, because next years schedule is not out yet.
Booking the appointment took awhile. My pcp referred me the beginning of January and I didn't get a call to book an appointment until mid-January, a week after I called.The nurse and Dr. Hersh were very kind and patient. They were able to answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable. This was my first visit with her. I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available for future appointments.

No improvement needed. Dr Hersh makes you feel comfortable. She listens to your concerns and gives you advice. Appointments are on time. The office atmosphere is friendly.

Dr Hersh made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I was very pleased with the care I was given! I am so glad I switched over to her!!! Thank you Dr Hersh!!
I wasn't pleased with the consultation because the doctor was going to prescribe me a medication and in the end, she didn't prescribe what she was going to prescribe.
Very efficient office and appointment was right on time!
From the minute I was in the office to the time I left, I was comfort and treated very well.
I was referred to Dr.Hersh by my Primary Care Doctor. It is always a little unsettling when you have to travel to a new facility for care, but all personnel were kind and were very willing to help and make you fell relaxed and welcome.
Dr hersh came from another office and I came with her
Dr. Hersh is excellent! Very knowledgeable and cares about her patients. She knows my history. She listens and doesn't make you feel rushed. I was also seen on time! It was hard to get an appointment less than 3 months out but it was not urgent.
Everyone is very cordial.
All doctors are phenomenal understanding they speak to me very well and I love it there very clean very respectable and understanding. Thank you. Advise anyone to go there
I had an excellent experience during my visit with Dr. Hersh from entry into her office to completing appointment for next visit.
Checking in was nice. Checking out, I had to wait a little bit until the girl finished the conversation with another employee.
It was a very professional yet kind office examination with consideration for my specific concerns.
Everyone was pleasant and polite to make sure everything was good.
Dr Hersh was excellent in every way. Very knowledgeable, conscientious and caring!
It was difficult getting an appointment with Dr. Hersh when she first absorbed dr. Hughes' patients. I was finally scheduled and then cancelled by the office and had to wait another few months. The staff was friendly and professional. This was my first appointment with Dr. Hersh. She was lovely, professional and focused. I look forward to being her patient.
Dr. Hershu00A0is very good at listening during appointments.
I think that the provider did really well in making sure I understood what was the issue, but they made a strange comment during a procedure that made me feel a little bit self-conscious. But besides that, she was really well.
I felt like my concerns about perimenopause weren't really being heard.
For me it's perfect, excellent work.
Everyone in the office was very friendly. Dr. Hersh is always amazing.
I am waiting for my test results and Dr. H's help in interpreting them when they become available. Dr. H has a lovely manner and makes her patient (me!) feel at ease.
The understanding and caring and patience
I have been Erika Hersh's patient for over ten years. I have followed her from her previous practice to her new one with Southcoast. She's thorough, answers questions and is a pleasure to talk to.Southcoast you're lucky to have her!
Dr. Erika Hersh is an amazing physician. So I would follow her to any practice that she goes to. She's caring, she's thoughtful. I've been seeing her for years and I mean, I just give her a 10. If I could give her a 12, I give her 12, 15. She's amazing and I'm very happy with her. Thank you.
