About Hirsch Mehta, MD
I became a physician because at its core, medicine is about developing meaningful relationships with people and helping them to live successful lives. Being able to share this with my patients is extremely fulfilling. Everybody has a story, somewhere they have been, and somewhere they want to go. My privilege as a physician is to help my patients overcome what has ailed them using all the tools that modern medicine has available, and in the process, to assist them in achieving an improved quality of life. That's one of the reasons I enjoy being a frequent guest expert for local news stories about heart disease and treatment.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife Neha, watching football, grilling in the backyard and listening to jazz music.

Spends time discussing all aspects of my diagnosis & treatment and additional opinions. I am probably one of Dr. Mehta's healthier pt.'s (long term).
