Dr. Kirk and Gina, RNP are great at listening and diagnosing your medical issue(s). Contacting the office and talking to a real person is the strike against their practice. Be patient and don't wait till the last minute to schedule an appointment.

The other reviews you see are many years old. As of 2016 Dr. Kirk is not where you want to go. I have panic attacks and night seizures. Dr. Kirk will not treat either and have been waiting on a referral for months. When I broke my leg and went to ER, they told me to follow up with primary. Again Dr Kirk will not treat and still no referral. Unacceptable practice!

Dr. Kirk is a good christian man, a good family man and a kind and compassionate doctor. He does not rush thru examinations and always takes time to listen and give feedback. He also comes to my home to see my husband, who is paralyzed and unable to get to his office easily. We feel blessed to have him as our doctor and are very satisfied with his competency as a doctor.

Dr. Kirk and his wife, Gina, are "pill pushers." They always push a pill before recommending lifestyle changes. If I had taken their advice in the past, I would be dependent upon four medications right now.

The wait to see the Dr is always over an hour. Once you see the dr's, they seem genuinely concerned. The receptionist, hospital staff & nurses have no bedside manner. They seem miserable & like they don't want to deal with people. This has been on more than 2 occasions. If it was a one time thing, I would not complain.

It seems Dr. Kirk needs to review his front desk office staff. It is almost impossible to make a first call appointment. i never have. Plus the desk staff is not courteous over the phone. The desk saff are not professional at all. Seems like they want to talk more than listen. A regular gossip party. Even when you finally get through to make an appointment the background noise is awful.

This a very busy office. They work very hard to see everyone. If the office staff seems unfriendly it's becasue they are dedcated to every patient and there are so many. Dr. kirk is one of the finest doctors I have meet. He must be because so many want to see him. I wish there were more Doctor like him and his wife.
