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.

We have known the good doctor, John Kirkpatrick, since 2005. He attended to Janie after her first brain tumor surgery (30+ radiation treatments) and again in 2012 when she developed a second brain tumor (another 30+ radiation treatments). John is everything you could possible hope for in a medical provider. He is smart, hard working, compassionate and a skilled ongologist. Duke Cancer Center is fortunate to have him and so are we! Thank you John for your friendship. Perry & Janie

Kind, compassionate, expert and effective care and treatment of my wife and her non-cancerous but aggressively growing brain tumor. Her eventual death more than a decade later, in 2015, was from an unrelated illness.

Dr Kirkpatrick explained my treatment procedure and associated risks in a very easy to understand manner. He and his staff are quite friendly and courteous...very patient-centric. I unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone needing radiation treatment.
