Media release from Harbin Clinic:
Harbin Clinic is excited to welcome cardiac electrophysiologist Dr. David Hirsh to Harbin Clinic Cardiology Rome. He brings a wealth of knowledge and looks forward to expanding the cardiac electrophysiology offerings at Harbin Clinic. He begins seeing patients in January of 2025.
Dr. Hirsh grew up in Illinois where his father worked in medical sales. He remembers fondly joining him on calls to doctors’ offices. In those moments, he was amazed by the responsibility and knowledge entrusted to physicians. This curiosity ultimately drew him to practice medicine.
After college, Dr. Hirsh specialized in cardiac electrophysiology during his medical training in New York City. His fascination with cardiology stemmed from its demand for a comprehensive understanding of medicine. He then moved to Georgia to join Emory University and became the first clinical electrophysiologist at Grady Hospital where he has served for the last 12 years. Now, Dr. Hirsh looks forward to working with the electrophysiology lab at Atrium Health Floyd.
Dr. Hirsh said, “As a cardiac electrophysiologist, I apply both in-depth medical knowledge and surgical expertise when treating a patient.”
Beyond the utilization of various medical skills, Dr. Hirsh described electrophysiology as incredibly fulfilling because of the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and improve quality of life.
When sharing his medical philosophy, Dr. Hirsh said, “Notwithstanding the very advanced technological tools we have, my medical approach is traditional and relational. Simply, I try to get to know my patients, understand their goals and then share what I would do if it were me or one of my parents in their shoes.”
Dr. Hirsh and his family are excited to move to the northwest Georgia area, and they look forward to getting involved with the community. Dr. Hirsh grew up in a family passionate about sports, particularly hockey and baseball. When he is not caring for patients, he shares his athletic enthusiasm with his children. Dr. Hirsh is also a proficient reader and even a bit of a juggler.
