Patient Reviews
Dec 05, 2024
Dr. Kirby has operated on both of my shoulders. Both surgeries were very successful, and I was able to return to full athletic activity quickly. Dr. Kirby's knowledge and experience gave me great confidence going into both operations. His bedside manner is excellent and I knew I was in good hands.
