Patient Experiences
I’m very pleased with my Doctor as he keeps great track of progress and is very qualified to diagnose any issues. My only complaint is that I don’t receive the link for the video conference sometimes a few minutes before the call. These should be provided the day before or first thing in the morning.
I love my psychiatrist. She’s understanding, caring and is there when needed. The most important thing in being a doctor’s patient is trust. To get to know one other , to be comfortable and to like who your doctor is and to be yourself . The appointment scheduling is easy. Contemporary care reaches out to you one hour before your appointment with a courtesy call to let you know your appointment is on schedule.
I have received excellent care and support from these professionals. Dr. Scott Hirsch has worked closely with me and has been helpful and understanding. He’s kind, attentive and certainly has a wealth of experience in his field. I must compliment his office staff for always being available and ready to help.
