Patient Reviews
May 07, 2024
We have been with Kirk Eye Center since the 1980's, receiving care from Dr. Kent Kirk and his father before him. Dr 'Kent' has continue to provide care to our family. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and conservative in provision of a patient's care. As our needs have changed we have been able to count on Dr. Kent Kirk to provide cutting edge care for our eyes. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional ophthalmologist.
