Merick Kirshner, MD

What a top-shelf establishment, from reception through consultations with the doctors. I felt like more than just a chart number. I felt valued, listened to, heard, and honored. I couldn't have been referred to a better group, and I'm so thankful and feel very lucky. I have 100% trust that my outcome will be astonishing and give me a new lease on my otherwise non-quality-of-life ~!~

Very good

Doctor Kirschner is one of the best surgeons in arizona and I am so happy that he is my surgeon.

All my doctors were vey know In fact during an emergency they saved my life.

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.
