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.

Wonderful surgeon
Dr Kirkpatrick repaired a 80 percent laceration to my wrist 35 years ago. He was kind, Patient and compassionate. I was and am eternally grateful to him and his team for saving my hand and giving me normal function after a horrific trauma. I recommend him completely.

Dr Kirkpatrick replaced my wrist over 24+ years ago. He was very sensitive and concerned about my pain, future outcome, etc. He spent a lot of extra time trying to make sure things went right in surgery and in my after care. He had concerns about future arthritis and mobility. I have none. The wrist is my dominant one and I have no issues at all. He was the perfect fit when I needed it.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is very professional yet personable. This was my second visit, and second cortisone injection, for very painful arthritis in my hand. The first injection lasted 2-1/2 years! I am so grateful for Dr. Kirkpatrick’s skill!

Dr Kirkpatrick genuinely cares about his patients. He does not rush to surgery options until all non-invasive options have been exhausted. He also respects his patients time and is always on time with his appointments. I would highly recommend this skilled physician!

Dr. Kirkpatrick saw me in the office the other day to inject medication into my trigger finger and he has also been my physician for a number of years and has always provided excellent care. He is concerned about your welfare and does his best to alleviate any discomfort. He is an excellent surgeon and has operated on both my wrists for carpal tunnel.

Recently, I had two visits with Dr. Kirkpatrick and I'd like to share my feelings regarding the appointments. Dr. Kirkpatrick has a way of making the patient feel at ease while speaking with him. At my second visit, Dr. Kirkpatrick gave me a steroid injection and I have to say was it was the easiest one to date. I highly recommend him.

Great experience with Dr Kirkpatrick and the Rothman Institute in Malvern. Friendly staff, minimal (if any) wait time followed by a direct, knowledgeable discussion regarding my condition.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is great. He’s kind, open with information about the condition, and obviously knowledgeable. This was my second visit for a hand issue. I also really liked being in the Rothman facilities, both Malvern and Bryn Mawr. The facilities are beautiful. Everyone treated me with professionalism, courtesy, and respect. I highly recommend Dr. Kirkpatrick.

I had a bad experience. The doctor was not professional, and had very bad attitudes for my visit. I do not know why. I requested to change the dressing for my hand after surgery; when I complained that the new dressing is not as comfortable as my original one, his nurse even picked up my original dressing from the trash and suggested to place it back on my surgery hand.
