Dr. Hershman is an EXCEPTIONAL knee surgeon that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He has cared for both my daughter and me over the past 5 years (performing a successful meniscus surgery on me and later identifying and prescribing treatment for ACL tears in both my daughter and me (a few years apart). Dr. Hershman has a long history of working with professional athletes (football teams, hockey skaters and the list goes on and on. I am a figure skater myself). He is compassionate and warm and goes above and beyond for his patients. He will have you diagnosed almost immediately! He went out of his way to recommend and connect me with a fantastic NYC brace expert and wrote me a prescription for a fitted brace). The meniscus surgery was perfect! I highly recommend Dr. Hershman and would not go to any other doctor for knee issues. He is a one of a kind knee expert/surgeon - and a true gem!!
