Hersh Bryan DPM

I love Dr. Hersh and his wonderful assistant Juanita. I have never said this before but it’s a pleasure to come to this doctor’s office. I usually hate doctors appointments but Dr. Hersh is so good at what he does and Juanitta is so nice that I look forward to my next appointment.

Dr. Hersh is such a great doctor. He performed 2 surgeries on my son to correct his flat feet. I was really worried about the procedure, and the recovery, but Dr. Hersh did such an amazing job. He is very meticulous in his work, and is extremely knowledgeable. But honestly, but best thing I liked about Dr. Hersh is that he is so nice, so laid back, and is never in a hurry to get on with his next patient. I would give him 10 stars if I could. Same goes for his receptionist Juanita!

I walked into Dr. Hersh’s office ready to quit running. For most people that probably sounds like a great idea but for me it was a devastating prospect. I love running but I’ve suffered from chronic shin injuries since I started running anything over a half marathon.
Over the past 5 years I tried literally everything to solve my problems. I saw doctors & physical therapists, had gait analyses, strength trained, got different kinds of shoes, tried the barefoot thing, I lived in compression socks… I could keep going but you get the idea. Nothing worked.
As the years went by, my training became, not how many miles a week I ran, but a struggle to do the bare minimum of my training program. Each year the injuries came sooner and I knew I couldn’t keep doing it this way.
My last hope was Dr. Hersh. A girl in my running group recommended him and I made an appointment the next day. The online booking system is super easy and I was able to get in quickly.
After rehashing my long tale of woe, I told him that I wanted to keep running and was looking for a long term solution. Dr. Hersh was patient, listened to the whole story, and ultimately ended up prescribing aggressive stretching and custom orthotics. Even though I’m sure I sounded a little crazy, I was thrilled that he addressed my problems and recommended some things that I hadn’t heard before. I appreciated that he really took the time to evaluate my individual situation and was genuinely interested in helping me find some answers. He and his staff were also great about helping me find the most cost effective way to pay for my treatment, which was amazing.
I held back tears yesterday as I crossed the finish line of the Chicago Marathon. Not because the race went so well (it didn’t — running a marathon with a cold was not one of my better ideas) but because, with my custom orthotics and stretching program, I ran the entire race with NO shin pain. ZERO. It’s really a miracle. I have always ended up with stress fractures after my previous marathons. Not this time. I’m so happy, I could cry. Really, you have no idea.
Thanks to Dr. Hersh, I can replace my time worrying about not running with time actually running. Now instead of thinking of quitting running, I am excited for the possibilities. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Hersh!!!

After my daughter dropped a laptop on my foot, Dr. Hersh made time to see me immediately. He took an x-​ray in his office, read it on the spot, diagnosed my broken toe, and gave me a «boot» to use until it healed. So easy, so quick, and totally painless. He was completely professional with a great bedside manner. He took the time to answer all my questions with patience and empathy. I did not feel like I was being rushed out as is often the case with many doctors. To top it all off, his office was both clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Hersh to anyone and everyone experiencing any foot pain or any other foot-​related issue. He is the only doctor I’d see if my daughter decides to break my toe again!

Dr Hersh is professional, humane, easy to talk to and — he listens. He answers questions and is willing to lay out alternatives for a patient. I respect his ability and knowledge. I really admire his keeping up with new technology and developments in his field of medicine. Occasionally his office overbooks but the wait usually is short.

Dr Hersh was excellent. I just returned from my visit to his office and, after going to two other dr’s regarding my foot issues, Dr Hersh gave me a completely different diagnosis which is more accurate to my symptoms and he gave me more thorough explanation of what was going on and why it was happening. I highly recommend Dr Hersh!

What an amazing podiatrist. I have been to many foot doctors and he renewed my faith in the medical profession. Compassionate, available, and knowledgeable in all the new techniques and surgeries. He went out of his way to work with my insurance with the billing. I feel like a new person after being under his care.
Thank you Dr. Hersh!
