About Me
As an internist at Ohio State, I specialize in women’s health. I’m extremely passionate about taking care of women from young adulthood through the rest of their lives. In particular, I specialize in contraceptive counseling, menopause, peri-menopause, osteoporosis, hypo-active sexual desire disorder/low libido, medical management of urinary incontinence, abnormal bleeding, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), recurrent UTIs, painful intercourse, treatment of vaginal infections and follow-ups with breast cancer survivors.I believe that every one of my patients has a unique patient profile and background. This allows me to truly create the very best individualized treatment plan that I tailor specifically to my patients’ health needs and goals.
My favorite part about working here at Ohio State is the excellent medical care that we are able to provide our patients, as well as the rich learning and teaching environment.
In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors and relaxing with my family. I also enjoy exercising and ran the Boston Marathon in 2009. I hope to go back to compete again someday!

She worked me into her schedule for an acute issue. She showed genuine concern regarding the issue. She placed stat imaging orders and was able to have the imaging done the same days. I received imaging results at the appointment but my provider sent a message regarding the results the next morning.

Dr Hirsch is excellent at what she does. She cares about me. Sometimes prescriptions and tests get lost and I have to follow up on them myself to be sure they were ordered correctly.

Dr. Hirsch is extremely engaging, professional, efficient, and genuinely cares to learn more about her patients. She was very particular about addressing my concerns and learning more about the steps I have taken to personally manage my concerns while offering additional advice on what more I can do. I picked her as a provider based on her areas of interest/expertise, which align with the areas of my life that I am looking to improve upon, as well as the video she put up that lets patients see her and know more about her. I'm glad I picked her as my doctor.
