I have to say my impression of Dr Hershman is very different. Years ago I took my daughter there. She was to have a tooth at the top of her mouth exposed. Dr Kershman came into the aged room and placed tools that did not appear sterile on a towel. He didn’t have an assistant and asked me to leave the room. I refused, I’m not leaving my daughter alone. He was very angry that I wouldn’t leave. That is huge red flag and I certainly didn’t want her alone with him. My daughter was also uncomfortable and we left feeling disgusted. This was about 7 years ago and still thinking of this. 👎🏻
