Merick Kirshner, MD

It is not often that one advises others to go see a heart surgeon. Most are refered by their cardiologists. That is how I got here. In the event someone asked me about a cardiac surgeon, I would definitely refer them to this doctor.

Good experience

Dr. Kirshner is a caring, confident and funny doctor.

Very well done.

Doctor Kirshner is one of the best Thoracic surgeons in the state, if not the nation. Having been a patient since 2006 he is the best.

Dr. Kirshner was an hour late for my consultation appointment, even though I was only the 3rd appointment of the day. My appointment was scheduled for 9 am and he was just seeing the 1st appointment at 9:30 am, so I have a feeling he was late getting to the office. He didn't even offer an apology for keeping me waiting an hour past my appointment time, while my husband had to wait in his truck in the parking lot. Then, about 5 minutes into a conversation about my pending heart surgery, he took a personal call on his cell phone right there in the exam room. Seriously?? He could've at least excused himself and stepped out of the room to pretend it was important enough to interrupt our conversation. I found Dr. Kirshner to be unprofessional and will be consulting a different surgeon to perform the valve replacement.

the dr's team did a procdedure on my wife we thought was going to make her life better.she passed away 4 days later.

very pleased with the outcome I'm doing awesome 12 - 13 weeks later I'm in physical therapy. He came and visit with me every day in the hospital to ask how I was doing. I wouldn't pick anybody else but him to do my surgery. One of the most confident Dr I know. My last visit they told me that I was family and they meant it. Thanks to all the staff and everybody that helped me I appreciate it so much. Excellent bedside manner

He explains what procedures are necessary to get you back to optimum heart health. Give you the facts with a sense of caring that he will get the job done.

Great surgeon , great guy. Very caring , wonderful bedside manner and follow up.
