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.

Respectful
I will say he had good mannerisms Things thoroughly overall the experience with Dr was very respectful can’t say enough about him very kind when it comes to when I checked out, the secretary was very rude to me. Treated me like a child never said a word, but she asked if she could continue. Simply said yes, continue I went to my car crying really reflected on. I was scared anyway for testing. I can’t lay down straight for any test because of my scoliosis. I am in a lot of pain. I canceled my appointment for testing but just wanted to write a review on a mannerisms that I appreciate it from the doctor

Dr. Kirlin diagnosed me with congestive heart failure and prescribed a water pill. I have had this problem for a couple years and other cardiologists overlooked something this basic. I put total trust in Dr. Kirlin.
