The doctor tested my eye's, and stated that I have Glaucoma, my pressure was 30/32 and he write mild, that is not mild, that is severe. He also wrote in his notes part of what I stated, not everything I said. That is misleading.

I have been seeing Dr. Hershner for many years, and he has been a wonderful presence in my life, as well as sharing his expertise in a warm and personable manner. Although I only see him once a year now, I count him as a friend, to whom I can share freely, not only about the condition of my eyes, but also about what has been going on in our own lives, just kind of 'catching up'.

I first became a patient of Dr. Hershner's a year ago and he continues to impress me with his professionalism and care. He seeks to understand my eye health, answers my questions fully and provides honest assessments about my conditions and outlook. I have total confidence in him in his role and would recommend him without hesitation. I have already suggested him to two friends seeking a new ophthalmologist.
