WHAT DR. KIRBY'S PATIENTS SAY

I am a returning patient with Doctor Kirby, who successfully repaired my badly damaged left shoulder in 2008. I came to see Dr. Kirby again in October this year to receive his help with my other shoulder. He explained he needed an MRI done. He listened patiently to my serious concerns regarding the claustrophobia and then recommended your MRI department. At that MRI appointment I also met a great MRI technician as well. Great experience with Dr. Kirby and his team!
