Scheduling changed my pain management appnt to see Dr. Hirsch… For what, to pretty much said I’m Fat, that I need PT and to do an MRI!! In another breath, he agreed PT wouldn’t help, and my condition doesn’t fit in his category of something he could address!
“Go to a University “, he said! Wouldn’t listen to my neck issues, or my knee swelling or my ankles swelling etc.. Arrogant Guy and wished I never met the guy.. Waste of time

I have been on a three-year journey to get relief from Sciatica. I've seen spine specialists, Chiropractors, Acupuncture specialists, physical therapists and have had enough Cortisone injections to last a lifetime.
ONE visit with Dr. Hirsch and ONE x-ray and he said, well you have a cyst near your L4/L5 that is pushing against a nerve root.
Four hours on the operating table and after three years I am pain free. Now I determine how my day is going to go versus my back pain determining how my day is going to go.
Thank you, Dr. Hirsch!!

He told me he was moving in September so he can't do the surgery anyway. I needed to talk about my back but he only would talk about one section of it. He was in a hurry and acted with no emotion.
Dr. Brandon P. Hirsch is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. His clinical interests include the minimally invasive treatment of complex degenerative disorders of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
Dr. Hirsch completed two year-long fellowship programs in orthopedic spine surgery under world-renowned spine surgeons at Rush University Medical Center and the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases. While at NYU he was trained in complex spinal reconstruction and caring for patients with disabling spinal deformities, many of whom had a history of multiple spine procedures. During his time at Rush University Medical Center, he was fortunate to train at the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute where he learned the latest minimally invasive techniques.
Prior to his fellowship training, Dr. Hirsch completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at both, Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Health System. Dr. Hirsch earned his doctoral degree from Yale University – School of Medicine where he graduated with the Farr Scholar Award for Excellence in Research. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Emory University, graduating summa cum laude.
Dr. Hirsch has published multiple peer-reviewed original articles on a variety of topics including spinal alignment, spondylolisthesis, and ambulatory spine surgery. He has authored three book chapters and remains active in orthopedic spine surgery research. He is a member of the North American Spine Society and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Dr. Hirsch believes strongly in the patient-centered model of healthcare. He feels patients do best when they are well informed about their spine condition and all options available for treatment. While surgery is not required for the majority of spine conditions, when it is necessary, Dr. Hirsch utilizes the least invasive surgical techniques available to get patients back on the road to recovery as quickly as possible. As a result, many of Dr. Hirsch’s patients can return to the comfort of their home on the day of surgery.
