The wait time was not an issue for me even tho it was not the exact time of the appointment. This provider is a very specialized surgeon and was involved in some other communication with another patient so my waiting was understood and OK. This provider is an amazing doctor and I so appreciate that I got to have an appointment with him and that he ordered specific tests that were so important in my visit with him. Thank you Dr. K

Dr. Kirker has exceptional communication skills. He immediately set me at ease with my heart status and let me know I would get through my challenges. His ability to guide me through the options available to me solidified a mutually acceptable path of action. He is a confident surgeon and I looked forward to a positive outcome under his care.

After meeting Dr Kirker, I felt a sense of relief. For 3 months I had not met with anyone who could tell me what was going on with my heart. Kirker was respectful, knowledgeable and extremely kind. It's hard to find a doctor who listens and gave clear explanations. We were fearful when we went in to see him but left knowing i were in good hands. I have no doubts that Dr Kirker will be successful in making me healthy again.
