About Ericka Hersh

Ericka Hersh, DO, MPH earned her Bachelor of Science from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. She then went on to obtain her Master of Public Health (MPH) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Vidant Medical Center at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. 

She first decided to pursue medical school early in her career while working in medical equipment sales in Boston and realized she wanted to have a more direct role in patient care. 

Today, her clinical interests include routine women’s health care and minimally invasive surgery. She chose to specialize in women’s health because of the specialty’s diversity.

Dr. Hersh’s philosophy of care centers on putting the patient first and ensuring everyone has access to quality healthcare. She believes in being thorough and conservative in her approach to medicine, prioritizing careful evaluation before considering surgery. Dr. Hersh values minimizing risks and ensuring that any intervention is truly necessary for the patient’s well-being.

Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, photography, and playing golf. Dr. Hersh also dedicates time each year to volunteer, traveling to the Dominican Republic to perform gynecological surgeries.

Provider Ratings

Why aren’t there any ratings?

We do not have a rating for this provider for one of the following reasons:

  1. Provider was newly added to our survey process and has not yet received the minimum number (30) of survey returns.  Check back soon for results!
  2. If this provider’s biography page does not specify practicing at Southcoast Physicians Group or a Southcoast hospital site (Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital), he/she is affiliated with Southcoast Health Network but not employed by Southcoast Physicians Group.  Our affiliates are not included in our survey process.
  3. If this provider’s biography page specifies practicing at Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital, without reference to an outpatient practice, he/she delivers care in the inpatient hospital setting only; inpatient surveys do not include questions about individual providers.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
