Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

For 28 yrs he's been my guy.
I've been with Dr.Kirkland since 1996 and I'm more than pleased to have him as my physician over the years. Dr.Kirkland is a great physician and I would recommend him.

Knows to much
Asked Dr. Kirkland for a referral to see a specialist and even asked for a doctor my name. He gave me a referral for a doctor I did not want. I would ask a question and he just act like I said nothing

“Give your big brain a rest” - Dr Kirkland
I asked Dr Kirkland to order a lab for me and he told me to “give my big brain a rest and let the doctors do their job.” Then he refused to order the lab. I found another GP willing to order it and it came back positive. Dr Kirkland wasn’t just condescending. He was wrong.

Stay away
Don't go there. He is not interested. Seems to me (someone who works in the medical field) that he has not stayed current with keeping up, reading the medical journals and practices the old ways that are not effected.

We did not have a visit with this doctor. My wife called, attempting to make an appt for our daughter and she was treated by the front desk extremely rudely, shortly, and unhelpfully.

The actual WORST doctor’s office I have ever encountered. 1. They try to press a plant based diet on you and tell you horror stories about mice dying from eating meat and dairy. 2. They will try to push new meds and methods on you even when you are happy with what you’re on. 3. They require follow up appointments every 3 MONTHS even if nothing has changed in order to fill any of your medications. 4. Their staff is incredibly unprofessional. I had a phlebotomist try to hug me & ask personal questions about my love life. She also (while drawing my blood) tapped my arm and pointed to another patient and said “you see that man- it’s actually a woman”. This was a clear HIPAA violation and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. 5. I had blood work done with abnormal results that were never brought to my attention. I assumed since I hadn’t heard anything that everything was ok. An entire year passed before I saw the results in my labcorp patient profile. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Awful very rude and uncaring. I made an appointment for my elderly father and was told over the phone that due to Covid 19, it was a possibility that I may not go into the room with him but instead sit in the car and my dad would phone me and put me on speaker phone so I hear and comment, all which I am totally fine with and actually agree with. We arrived today and was met out side of the Dr. Office to sign in and have our (his and mine) temp checked, we didn't have one and was allowed (both) to go into the lobby of the office. While there I completed all the new patient paper work and provided copies of my father's insurance. Then my Father's name was called and we both (there is that word again BOTH) walked back and he had his height and weight taken. We both (BOTH) we placed in a room together. The Dr. came in and look at me and said "get out" I said excuse me, he said "get out" and I said "not one person out of the three that Dad and I have passed in your office told me or

The first time I went the dr started off saying "I know our reviews are not that great, but if you like us please go write something good." Right then I should have known it was bad who starts a first impression off like that . I was there for a regular check up/ physical requested by my obgyn after having a baby last year. I told them my ears were bothering me and I had a lump on my neck. They started to clean my ear out and it started to bleed so they had to stop. Thats Never happened to be before. My lump on my neck he said I needed an ultrasound great got that done turns out I needed a biopsy. The office forgot to call and schedule my biopsy I had to remind them. Had my biopsy and it's now been 2 weeks! I've called twice and BOTH times they said the dr hasnt had time to review your file yet. BUT WHY??? I dont understand you sent me to get this done as your patient I should have gotten some news good or bad it doesnt matter. So that shows you have no time for your patients.

I was notified when I went to pick up my thyroid meds (Prescribed by Dr. Kirkland) that the pharmacy was out of stock, and I needed a replacement medication prescription from Dr. Kirkland. The pharmacist tried calling the office at least 3 times, I called 4 times. No one returned my calls from Dr. Kirkland’s office, and in the mean time I am going 4 days without my meds. This office and Dr. Kirkland clearly don’t care if a patient gets their thyroid medication. Unreal. Goodbye Dr. Kirkland!

Dr Kirkland has been my physician since 1989. He is an excellent diagnostician. He has treated my husband also and was able on routine physicals to correctly diagnose and refer him for treatment of cancer. My husband is now cancer free. I am truly indebted to him as a physician.
