Dr. Robert has lived in Brooklyn since he was two years old. He received his BA in biology from Brandeis University in 1978, and his DMD degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1982. He completed a 2 year General Practice Residency at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, and he taught at Brookdale from 1984 to 1992.
During September 1983 Dr. Rob spent a month as a volunteer dentist, treating underprivileged immigrants, in Sderot, in the Negev desert of Israel. In 1985 he was awarded a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry after having completed over 500 post-graduate hours of continuing education, as well as passing a rigorous written exam. In 1984 he married Dr. Meryl Nagourney (also a dentist and from a dental family) and he joined his father Dr. Harold Hersh (zl), who founded the practice in 1958.
Following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Robert is dedicated to delivering superb, high quality dentistry to his patients. He seeks out and employs the latest advances that technology has to offer. He is one of the first general dentists in New York to incorporate using a clinical microscope in all phases of restorative dentistry. He is also keenly aware of the oral systemic connection and strives to improve not just the oral health but the total health of his patients.
In 2006, Dr. Rob joined Dr. Alan Winter and Dr. Alan Pollack as pioneers in the use of Cone Beam Tomography, the latest in 3 dimensional dental imaging. He is currently associated with ConeScan Imaging, providing cone beam dental CTs to the Brooklyn community.
In 2009 Dr. Rob was privileged to welcome Dr.. Robert Weller, another superb dentist and mentor, into his practice. They enjoyed working together for the next 5 years, until Dr. Weller retired from dental practice. Dr. Rob is fortunate to have had many of Dr. Wellers wonderful patients continue under his care.
Kathy A. Kathy will help keep your teeth sparkling and your gums healthy. Her patient first philosophy, as well as her dedication to ensuring a complete understanding of how good dental hygiene is linked to a healthy body, are what make her such a valuable addition to our practice. She will counsel you on home care, and help you understand the oral systemic connection. Kathy will help you to assess your smile, and will bring your specific concerns and needs to Dr. Hershs attention.
Kathy has lectured on cosmetic dentistry at New York University, the American Dental Association annual meeting, the Greater New York Dental Meeting, and Les Journees Dentaires Internationals Du Quebec. She is the first hygienist to preside over courses at the Greater New York Dental Meeting. She is a member of the ADHA and AAOSH.
Stacey M. Stacey was born and raised right here in Brooklyn. She was a patient of Dr. Roberts since 1988. In 2005 he begged her to come work for him. It has been a blessing ever since. Stacey handles most of the office paperwork, scheduling, billing, insurance, and handles the ConeScan imaging. Stacey is our first contact person when entering the office, always greeting you with a smile. She makes all our patients feel like part of our family and will answer any and all of your questions.

Dr. Hersh is at the top of his game! He keeps abreast of the latest techniques and advances in the field of dentistry and implements that knowledge into his practice. He is supported by a caring and concerned staff and is ably assisted by Kathy whose experience and accomplishments enhance and elevate the level of care all patients receive. Kudos to all!

Dr. Hersh and his staff have been providing excellent dental service for me and my husband for over 10 years. The atmosphere is friendly and what we like very much is not having to wait for our scheduled appointment. A gold star is given for this service. I highly recommend anyone looking for excellent, professional dental service. We feel like family during our visits and are extremely happy with the excellent care they provide.

Dr.Hersh and the entire staff are wonderful. I have been his patient for 25 years. I have had teeth capped, cavities filled, and just completed straightening my teeth with invisilyns. I have recommended many friends who have been more than pleased with the care they receive.

After practicing dentistry in Canarsie for many years, I closed my office and moved my staff and much of my practice to Dr Hersh's office where I practiced for several years and was awed by the preciseness of his work. Dr Hersh views the tooth he is treating through a microscope and he holds himself to the highest standards of care. I am very pleased that so many of my former patients remain under his excellent care. I also rejoice that my long-serving wonderful hygienist, Kathy continues to care for me and his other patients. I had a very delicate procedure performed in my mouth by Dr Hersh yesterday. I am in awe at how he was able to restore a second molar that was badly broken down.

Dr. Hersh is a great dentist and is also so nice! About 10 years ago I fell and broke the bottoms of my two front teeth. Within an hour Dr. Hersh bonded the teeth so beautifully that till today no one can see that they're not all mine. Cathy the hygienist is also great and the office staff (shout out to Stacy!) is also very nice. I also almost never have to wait in the office.
