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.

I went to Dr Kirk for a routine inconvenience procedure. I came out of the surgery not being able to pee for 3-4 months ( had to self cath). I had to see him the entire time this was going on, I waited an average of 5 hours to see him each time. The last time I was there I waited 6 hours and finally left , while waiting for him that time I could hear him flirting with the woman in the next room for at least 30 minutes. Infuriating!! He is arrogant, rude and doesn’t seem to care about his patients! Not to mention, the surgery went terribly bad. That was about 12 years ago and I still am having some issues from that surgery! Wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy! P.s. I have never written a bad review about a doctor before but I want to warn others!!

I was referred to Dr. Kirk by my OB for bladder suspension surgery which Dr. Kirk did. I was pleased with my office visits, surgery and follow-up. He is very knowledgeable and very informative to his patients.

I made an appointment weeks ahead of time to take my 94 year old mother to see Dr. Kirk. I live in the Dallas area and made the trip to Lubbock to take her to the doctor. When we went to the desk to check in we were told that we "had" an appointment but Dr. Kirk was not in the office this week. I guess that after the appointment was made Dr. Kirk decided to take vacation or leave town.. We did not receive a phone call or any notification. Bad office management! Bad 6 hour drive!
