With extensive experience at esteemed institutions such as New York Medical College, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the University of Maryland Medical Center, he is poised to make significant advancements in oncology.

As a board-certified oncologist with specializations in medical oncology, hematology, and internal medicine, he is dedicated to bridging the gap between conventional treatments and groundbreaking therapies. His collaborative work with Dr. Bruckner and other leading clinicians focuses on exploring novel treatments for challenging tumor types that often resist traditional chemotherapy.

Each treatment plan is tailored to the specific characteristics of both the cancer and the individual patient, allowing for the most effective and personalized care possible.

Dr. Hirschfeld’s commitment to advancing cancer treatment extends beyond his clinical practice into vital research initiatives. He has focused on addressing the critical issue of drug resistance in oncology, contributing significantly to the understanding and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma and developing ‘multi-metronomic’ algorithms for targeted therapies in resistant women’s cancers. These groundbreaking research efforts not only enhance the understanding of cancer biology but also lead to the development of new, effective therapies for patients who may have exhausted traditional options.

“Research is essential not only for progressing the field of oncology but for translating discoveries into actionable treatments for patients,” Dr. Hirschfeld emphasizes. “Every finding has the potential to change lives, and I am dedicated to making those changes a reality.”
