Professional History

Dr. Hirsch is a pediatric gastroenterologist whose practice focuses on the evaluation and treatment of aerodigestive disorders in children. She has a particular interest in treating children with refractory upper gastrointestinal symptoms, such as feeding intolerance, vomiting, and gastroesophageal reflux. Her research is aimed at better defining the pathophysiology underlying these challenging symptoms, with the goal of using this improved mechanistic knowledge to advance current treatments and guide new treatment innovations. She has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) to support this work.
