The absolute worst doctor experience ever. I don't know how this guy is a practicing doctor. Areogant with horrible attitude and speaking to patients like their beneath you and wasting your time is no way to treat people that pay your nice salary. He acts like a ER doctor in a major city that is rush rush rush with crazy people looking for pills instead of a doctor in a small town clinic. I've been debating filing a claim against him because it was that bad of an experience.

Horrible bedside manner. Treated me like a piece of meat. Showed no concern and was condescending as though I had nothing better to do and wasn't even felling bad. Worst doctor visit I've ever had

Took about an hour for him to see me, took my vital signs and said it was allergies. Argued with me, was very unprofessional, and sent me away with hydrocodon and antibiotics like he has done with every other person I've met that has gone to him. Surprised he hasn't had his licence yanked. If I could give 0 stars I would.

I found Dr. Kirby to be unconcerned with my condition and felt that he should have performed a more thorough exam before jumping to a conclusion because he misdiagnosed me on the basis of a few questions that took less than 3 minutes to answer.
