Russell N Hirst Jr MD

I am well trained in treatment of the broad range of patients from birth to death. While maintaining that wide spectrum I place emphasis on preventive and anticipatory care especially in the newborn, pediatric and adolescent. Acute illness and injury treatment that includes respiratory, gastrointestinal and other infectious etiology as well as laceration repair, basic foreign body removal and simple fracture stabilization is encompassed. Sports medicine consultation in pre-participation physical, healthy sports nutrition and supplementation as well as injury prevention and treatment are included. Additionally but not exclusively I include comprehensive management of mental health, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, thyroid disease, general women's health and coronary/vascular medical treatment. This is all provided in a comprehensive/holistic approach to include mental and spiritual wellbeing both short and long term.
