Dr. Scott Hirsch was born and raised in Cupertino, where he enjoyed swimming, playing soccer, and cooking. From an early age, he would round with his grandfather, a nephrologist, both at the Stanford Hospital and during house calls on the weekends. This instilled a strong desire to pursue medicine himself. He attended the University of California, Davis, for his undergraduate studies and then completed his medical education at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine.
Dr. Hirsch then went to the University of Colorado for his Otolaryngology residency, and finally, completed his Pediatric Otolaryngology fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital. While in Colorado, he completed a 2-year NIH T32-funded research fellowship focusing on the interplay between genetic variants, microbiome, and environment in determining pediatric otitis media phenotypes.
During his Otolaryngology residency, Dr. Hirsch and his wife, Rachel, had two children, Ezra (6) and Margot (2). Throughout all the time spent in other states, he knew that he and his wife would end up back in the Bay Area, and he is ecstatic that it is at UCSF! Dr. Hirsch looks forward to working with all the amazing staff, promoting medical student and resident education, and providing comprehensive Pediatric Otolaryngology care with an emphasis on continuing to build the aerodigestive program.
When not at work, he loves to cook, garden, climb with his son, work out, and spend as much time as possible with his family.
