Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Getting an appointment
Have been going to Dr. Hershman for over 20 years. He has helped me through many kidney stone events, including during the pandemic. Currently struggling with what I think is a stone, called the office and he fit me in next week. Unfortunately, I now need to help my 83-year-old mother in another state and cannot attend the appointment next week. I called to reschedule and the office person said the next available is September 21! I have no choice but to take this slot and look for a new urologist. I cannot believe it is okay to wait 2 months before I see a doctor if I am in pain. I am not faulting Dr. Hershman but the medical setup we have now...medicine should not be so corporate. These huge corporations are NOT helping the patients by any means. I remember the days when I could get an appointment within days of calling when in an emergency. Off to find a new urologist and/or visit the ER, that is where I feel like I will get the care I need. So unfortunate.

Dr. Jack Hershman is a very caring doctor. When ever my husband or I had a urinary problem he always included both of us in the discussion in his office. Both of us appreciated this because it affected both of us.

Dr. Hershman is a solo practitioner and if he is gone, no one covering for him. He says they are, but then covering doctor unavailable. He doesn’t listen to what the patient’s concerns are and just gives standard answers. I don’t understand why people love him so much. I’ve been with him for 8 years and see a decline in his care. Maybe he’s burned out. Time to retire?

Ten years ago Dr. Hershman saved my life. He diagnosed advanced prostate cancer and treated it expertly with kindness and attention to detail. He is a modest man, apparently oblivious to how is helping humanity and making this world a better place.

I like the doctor but very annoyed , how the office can call me to change my appointment because they closed another office. But when I call back they have nothing available, when I am available. Then the reception acting like she really could careless. Need better receptionist that actually want to be at their jobs. I think I should have been accommodated since the office is the one who canceled my appointment.

My visit is always a pleasant experience. Doctor Hershman's assistant is gracious with any kind of inquiry. The waiting room has a relaxing aquarium, soft background music and an assortment of unique reading material. Doctor Hershman is outstanding in his field. He is personable and has time for a thorough discussion of the matter. And beyond that he is gentle.
