Moshe E Hirth MD, Delray Beach FL

From the beginning, I want to make clear that the comments in this review apply only to Dr. Hirth. In my many contacts with his staff, I have found them to be efficient and concerned with my well being.

I became a patient of Dr. Hirth late in 2015 when I reported involuntary regurgitation from my throat. One thing I recall telling him was that regurgitated ice cream was still cold. Reviewing my records, I’m shocked at the number of tests I was given that had nothing to do with this. It was only during a remote meeting with one of his staff that the correct diagnosis, achalasia, was given. With that information in hand, I used respected sites on the Internet to confirm that ALL of the symptoms I was experiencing matched up. Yet, over the years, not a single mention of this had come up while the testing went on and on.

I have very good insurance and I admit that I was remiss in not challenging what, for example, a liver scan, had to do with my situation. However, if you as a potential patient, either have a significant deductable or are paying out of pocket due diligence is advisable.

Another concern with Dr. Hirth may only be applicable during the current pandemic, but it might concern patients even after this is over.

On every visit I made to the office during this time, I observed Dr. Hirth wearing a high-tech face mask with a pressurized air supply. I was a bit concerned as most of these type masks protect the user but, as the exhaled air often is ejected without filtering, may provide no protection to those around the wearer.

More concerning is the observation that while Dr. Hirth had invested in such a mask for himself, every member of his staff that I saw was wearing a simple cloth mask, not even a K-95 or NK-95 mask.

I wonder if this shows a distain for what I see as a caring and hard working staff.

CLARIFICATION: NOT YET A PATIENT.

I ended up being discharged from the emergency room and referred to [a different practice than this one], which refused to let me schedule an appointment within two week's notice because I had previously seen another doctor at that practice.

Mikaila helped schedule an appointment for me within a few days from now after hours of calling around to different practices. She was incredibly emapthetic, understanding, and human in how she handled my issue, and I'm looking forward to seeing if that's the attitude that prevails here!

Went in for an endoscopy, ended up in the e r with Pneumonitis from aspiration that night after coughing blood from the procedure. Did not enjoy my time, do not recommend.

Dr. Hirth and his staff are top notch! He is caring for my 83 yr old mother who was dealing with chronic diarrhea. We tried everything then her primary referred us to Dr. Hirth. They ran some test and found she had ulcers and a hernia but neither of these things were the cause of the diarrhea. It was so bad that she did not want to leave the house. After sending out some cultures to the lab it came back that she has a very bad parasite infection. Finally we had the answer and a treatment plan.

His office is run like a well oiled machine! If your appointment is at 9a your seen at 9a. The offce staff is friendly and efficent. All questions answered and they actually do what they say they will. I have lived in SO FL for 25yrs. I have never had such a positive experience with a doctor and office as I have had with Dr. Hirth.

I went to see Dr. Hirth two times and he could not find out my problem. He told me many time that I would need to do a colonoscopy. He said he couldnt find out my problem without a colonoscopy. I went to another doctor and in less than 5 min he found out I had a fissure.

This doctor told me my health insurance would cover the cost. It did not, they want to stick me with huge bills. Be very careful with this doctor. They only care about money.

Buyer be ware This doctor may be sending you for an needless endoscopy. Ask alot of questions. Don't just go

For several weeks I was experiencing a significant amount of pain on the right side of my abdomen. The pain I experienced reached a critical level leading me to seek advice from my internist. Lucky for me he referred me to Dr. Hirth. Dr. Hirth promptly conducted a physical exam and diagnosed the issue as diverticulitis. In order to verify his diagnosis he ordered a stool study which verified the diagnosis. After discussing the changes that I must make to my diet he brought in his nutritionist to thoroughly discuss dietary options for my future. I was astounded by the thoroughness and skill Dr. Hirth and his staff exhibited. I highly recommend his services!

I felt so safe with Dr. Hirth because of his knowledge, understanding bedside manner and his amazing background, especially when facing some big medical issues.
