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.

Extremely intelligent and kind
Dr Kirby met with my daughter and was always so kind and thoughtful. He really cared about her, and was excellent at reassuring her in ways that I never can.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kirby?
At the lowest point in my life my family doctor reached out to Dr. Kirby to refer me on an urgent basis but Dr. Kirby never would answer or return his many attempts to get in contact. My physician said it is unheard of to reach out to another physician and have them totally ignore you. My best friend is a patient so I knew he was very good with her treatment. Fast forward years later and we tried another referral but after waiting two weeks was declined by Dr. Kirby and the other physician in his office. Don't even bother is my advice to you.
