Brandon Hirsch merits six stars, in my opinion. He reviewed my scans and relieved my fear about needing surgery. Dr. Brandon referred me to a pain specialist and I am on my way to being pain free!

Dr. Hirsch is an exceptionally thorough and compassionate physician. Going into surgery, I was understandably very nervous, but he took the time to clearly explain every aspect of the procedure and recovery process in a way that made me feel informed and at ease. His patience and attention to detail gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with surgery. His assistant, Tristan, was equally impressive, consistently communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. He always made sure to follow up regarding appointments, address any concerns, and assist with documentation for my medical leave, which made the entire process much smoother. The level of care and professionalism I experienced exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Hirsch to anyone in need of surgical care.

I had a C6–C7 disc replacement with Dr. Brandon Hirsch 30 days ago, and my experience from start to finish was excellent. My recovery has been much easier than expected—I had very minimal surgical pain, didn’t need narcotics, and was back to my daily 3-mile walks within a few days. Dr. Hirsch is not only highly skilled but also warm, approachable, and humble. He explained everything clearly and made me feel confident going into surgery. I had shared concerns about post-op nausea, and I truly appreciated that he ensured his team took extra care—they followed through completely. His entire team — Office medical assistants, pre-op, surgical, post-op, was very attentive, friendly, and professional. I’ve had great surgical experiences before, but this one with Dr. Hirsch at DISC Sports and Spine Center truly stands out. I’m very grateful and would confidently recommend him.

Dr. Hirsch and his team provided excellent care for my mom. We cannot thank you and your team enough! Dr. Hirsch is the very embodiment of an altruistic and professional doctor. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and I vouch for Dr. Hirsch! My mom underwent lumbar spine surgery with positive outcomes. My mom is now able to walk with minimal to no pain and no longer has any sciatica symptoms. Her goal was to be able to go shopping with her sisters and she has already achieved this goal! She is currently about 7 weeks post op and healing at a great rate as she continues to get stronger with physical therapy. Prior to the surgery, my mom was dealing with chronic low back pain and sciatica symptoms for 2 years. We made an appointment with Dr. Hirsch based on a recommendation from another spine surgeon. At each appointment, Dr. Hirsch was warm, caring, and welcoming. He took his time to explain my mom's condition and educated us on the MRI image and results. This was very valuable because it allowed us to understand the origin of her symptoms. He explained to us the minimally invasive surgical intervention that would be optimal to help my mom. We were confident in Dr. Hirsch's decision and trusted his judgement. The Hirsch Spine team provided excellent communication and care from start to finish. We want to specifically thank Tristan Le for his help with everything on the administrative side. Sincerely, Brandon Pham & Carolyn Pham
