I have been a patient at Kirk Family Practice for several years and have grown increasingly concerned about the level of care and service provided. One consistent issue has been the high turnover rate among their staff, which raises questions about internal stability and continuity of care.

I’ve observed a tendency to rely heavily on prescribing medication rather than exploring and addressing the root causes of health concerns. While medication can be helpful, it should not be a substitute for thorough diagnostics and comprehensive care. As a 51-year-old male with a family history of cancer, I found it troubling that I had to advocate strongly for a colonoscopy referral. Additionally, there appears to be a misunderstanding regarding screening tools, as Cologuard is not a substitute for prostate cancer screening.

Appointments are often delayed, with an average wait time of 15 minutes after arrival, followed by an additional 5 to 10 minutes in the exam room before being seen. Referral requests are another significant pain point—I frequently have to follow up multiple times to ensure they are sent out, which is both frustrating and unprofessional.

Due to these ongoing concerns, I am currently in the process of transitioning to a new primary care provider

Overall Rating: 5.0 2018-01-09

I have seen Dr. Kirk for many years, and have never once considered any other Primary Care Physician.  She is the best of everything you could want in a Family Doctor.  She is patient, kind, thorough and most of all tenacious.  She gets to the root of the issue making my health and my family's health her number one concern.  I don't mind the fact that sick appointments are made with the Nurse Practitioner either - this enables Dr. Kirk to remain on schedule with her scheduled appointments which is a plus when you HAVE a scheduled appointment.  I enjoy each member of her staff as well.  They are always friendly and pleasant and take that extra bit of time to help me when I need it.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2017-06-23

Doctor Kirk has been my doctor for about 11 years. She always takes the time I need to listen to my issues and answer questions. She reads reports and lab results from specialists I see in a timely manner. She actually saved my life because of her being on top of things when another doctor dropped the ball on test results. My husband is also a patient and we credit Dr. Kirk with finding his cancer way before it became life threatening.
