My experience was very good. I thought that I was going to get my appointment with Dr. Kirker a little faster but I understand his schedule is very busy. I was also told that 15 days from the time I called was fast. I'm happy to have Dr. Kirker as my doctor for my surgery,

I feel extremely blessed to have Dr Kirker as my cadiothoracic surgeon. He's compassionate, calming and eased my fear and anxiety should I ever need surgery.
