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.

Callous
Have you ever seen a doctor shrug? He has horrible bedside manor. There is a difference between being matter of fact and just callous when delivering the news that a patient has cancer. After the diagnosis he literally got mad at my mother when she was hesitant about bringing my dad home on hospice.

Dr.Kirkpatrick has taken care of several damaged parts of me and they are all working just fine now. What I like most is his way of quickly determining what the problem is and then getting it repaired. Atta way to go, Dr. Kirkpatrick!

Horrible He told me I was lying about my condition. Told me I wasn’t in pain. He got upset when I told him I didn’t want him to bend my knee. I was going here for a second opinion

I believe he works primarily for the insurance company. I tore both rotator cuffs and in his IME he said there doesnt appear to be any injury regardless of what the MRI indicated. He doesnt listen to patients.

Imagine the feeling of knives sticking into you, and MY telling YOU you are exaggerating how much pain you are in. My psychology education has taught me that minimizing someone's pain is a form of abuse, and minimizing a woman's pain is called discrimination. As you mentioned you don't know a great deal about backs, I have a great deal more pain because of this, a mass effect on the sciatic, dislocating wrist, and a new image is suspicious for a dislocating l5s1, shoulder knocks out. Thanks.
