His goal is to guide and inform his patients, helping them to take ownership of their health with confidence.

When not seeing patients, Dr. Hirt enjoys spending time with his wife and children — often traveling to baseball games, theater and karate practices, as well as taking care of their dogs. He also enjoys distance running, watching college football and Padres baseball.
