I was a patient of Charlene's from the beginning. Her and I would enjoy talking about her husband, her love of animals and her son. She was always had a smile on her face and a funny story to tell. I will miss her dearly

I first had the great pleasure of meeting Charlene while she was walking her dog on Pine Street... I was thinking to myself how the dog was almost larger the she was.. haha From that day on we connected. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce... WHAT A GREAT COUPLE! You can feel the love they had for each other. They supported the shop I manage every first Friday, we became fast friends... I feel in love with them both!

We were longtime patients of Dr. Hirsch, and remember all of the many ways she helped us and our children. We enjoyed our many talks together. Once quite by accident, she happened to be walking down the street when our youngest child was injured playing ball. Dr. Hirsch did not hesitate to give up her day off and take care of the injury to her teeth. She was a friend, and we held her in high esteem. Our condolences to her family.
