My name is Dr. Naomi Hersh and as my accent will reveal, I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I escaped to Baltimore, MD where I attended Goucher College and later the University of Maryland Dental School. Good pizza drew me back to Brooklyn where I did my residency in general practice at the Brooklyn VA Hospital. During my time at the Veterans Hospital I developed a profound respect for those individuals who serve our country. I was working in a practice in Brooklyn Heights when I met and married my husband. We moved to Stamford and had two wonderful children who are now grown and have provided us with dividends (grandchildren).
