    Check out the video version of this episode on our Youtube channel! In this episode of Charting the Future, Chip Hart sits down with Dr. Steven F. Hirsch, MD, FAAP founder and medical director of Hirsch Pediatrics, to explore what it means to build a pediatric practice with intention. From designing an office that feels more like a welcoming European village than a medical clinic to creating workflows that prioritize preventive care, patient convenience, and physician well-being, Dr. Hirsch shares the philosophy that has guided his independent practice from day one. The conversation spans everything from data-driven practice management and patient portals to burnout, vaccine confidence, mental health integration, and the future of independent pediatrics. Along the way, Dr. Hirsch makes a compelling case that thoughtful design of spaces, systems, and relationships can improve both the patient experience and the sustainability of pediatric care.
