Orthodontist Nelson Hersh has been in Commerce since
1995 and, though he recently moved his office back into
West Bloomfield, his location at Pontiac Trail and
Haggerty roads positions him on the border of both
cities and keeps him close to Walled Lake.
"The percentage of Jews out here is steadily increas-
ing," says Dr. Hersh, giving credit to new roads as well as Dr. Hersh
the quality of the Walled Lake Consolidated School
District, which is attracting more families to the area.
"I think people like it because there is more land and less congestion. M-5
makes it so you can get to just about anywhere," he says. "I think Haggerty
will be like Orchard Lake Road is today."
