“Breast reduction surgery”
Dr Kirwan has a lot of experience with this surgery and he was very careful to listen to my concerns and expectations. He also helped to get the surgery pre-approved by my insurance company by writing them a letter with photographs of my breasts and the curvature of my back and neck as well as the shoulder grooves from my bra. The results of the surgery were exactly what I wanted. I just wish I had done it earlier. Surgery was on a Friday. He called me that evening at home and gave me his home and his cell phone number so that I was always able to contact him. Dr Kirwan came in on Saturday morning with his nurse to remove the drains, change the dressing and reassure me. I am very happy and have already recommended my daughter and a friend.

“Thank you”
Happy to leave a review because this is the only doctor's office I actually enjoy visiting. Have been a patient for many many years, love that I always see a familiar face at the front desk and Dr. Kirwan calls me darling in that delightful British accent! Make this old lady's day every time! Dr. K did my breast lift in the late 90s, my facelift in 2012 and plenty of tweaks in between.

“Love my lips!”
New patient to the practice, came in with a friend who has been seeing Dr Kirwan for years and years and has been trying to get me in here for ages. I'm so glad I finally listened, Dr Kirwan did my cheek fillers beautifully. He is very gentle; can't say there was NO pain but so much less than other places I've been to. He recommended I put a little filler in my lips. I was hesitant, didn't want to look like a freak, but he assured me that's not his style of lip filling, just giving my thinning lips a little plumping and smoothing. They look AWESOME and I can't stay out of the mirror now, it's such a little change, no one would look and me and say "LIPS" but they will definitely look at me and say wow, she looks great! Thanks Dr Kirwan, I will be back!

“New patient - very pleased”
I've been getting injections -- Botox and fillers -- for years. Today was my first time with Dr Kirwan and I'm very happy with how he listened to my concerns and discussed my concerns and gave his honest opinions and explained my options. My fillers look great, Botox results not yet visible but he was very gentle with the needles.

“Hands down, the BEST for breasts!”
I've been Dr Kirwan's patient for over a decade. He does my botox and I've had fraxels and chemical peels many times over the years. I had a breast augmentation in 2003. His work is absolutely unbelievable. So much so that when I was living down south for a few years, my new gynecologist was so impressed with my implants (10 years old at that point!) that she asked for his information and ended up referring several of her clients to him for their implants. They look super natural, feel great, and have never given me a single problem. He's not the cheapest but he is the best. I recommend him without hesitation. Don't make the mistake my sister made, going to someone cheaper and less experienced, only to have to do it all again (at considerable time and expense) with Dr Kirwan to fix her doctor's mess. I also love his office, just beautiful and relaxing and a place I look forward to visiting. His staff is friendly and helpful. I just hope he's still operating when I need a facelift!
