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.

Dr. Kirk has been my primary care physician for over a decade. Very courteous and takes time to explain things. Answers all of your questions and provides practical options.

I have been going to Dr Kirk since 1995 and I even went to St Peters,Mo to see him until he comes back to Monroe county Il. He is a very caring doctor and he takes excellent care of his patients.

I saw Dr Kirk because my Dr was on vacation and I needed to get in quickly. He was very personable and professional. My lab work came back over the weekend and he personally called me on SATURDAY rather than waiting until Monday and texted because I don't have my voicemail set up! I was truly impressed and appreciative of his efforts so I wanted to share. I think anyone would like him and receive the same level of service and compassion! Thank you sir!
