She was great - the prep and procedure went very smoothly and Dr. Kirk provided a clear and cogent explanation of my results. Endoscopy center was very efficiently run as well

I recently saw Dr. Kirk for the first time. After her initial office visit, I had a colonoscopy one week and and endoscopy the next week. I really like her as her sense of humor is a bit dry like mine, she is a bit brisque (entering the room on time and you can see she has a mission on her mind--her patient's well being) and direct with her questions and answers. You know she is going to do her very best for you no matter what it takes. She told me I would feel a gazillion times better when we get my condition cleared up. I asked her if that was a medical term! I have a follow up endoscopy in 2 mo. I know I am in the best hands with her as my doc. I have already recommended her to friends.

Kathryn Kirk has the qualities that my previous GI in the same practice lacks. She's caring, easy to talk to, asks the right questions, and is interested in understanding my problem. After struggling with abdominal pain for several months, my symptoms gradually went away as a result of stopping the medication the other GI prescribed and drinking Citrucelle. I wish I found her when I first had problems because she would most likely have tried harder to find the right medications and/or dietary changes rather than immediately pursuing a colonoscopy and endoscopy after two different medications. I haven't seen her in a year, but I will certainly see her again if I have GI problems!
