Eric B. Kirker, MD

After meeting Dr Kirker, I felt a sense of relief. For 3 months I had not met with anyone who could tell me what was going on with my heart. Kirker was respectful, knowledgeable and extremely kind. It's hard to find a doctor who listens and gave clear explanations. We were fearful when we went in to see him but left knowing i were in good hands. I have no doubts that Dr Kirker will be successful in making me healthy again.

I had to wait about hour to see Dr Kirkwer. Everybody was very nice and apologetic about the situation. I found Dr Kirker to be confident, knowledgeable and a good communicator

I was very impressed with Dr kerker

My team of Dr, PA'S and surgeons are the best

Can't say enough about the entire cardiac valve team. They are all exemplary professionals. I have the utmost confidence and respect for all of them.

I know Erik well. I have referred him a number of patients.

Great care

Erik did his homework previsit and I did mine! We quickly agreed on a game plan!It doesn't get any better than that!!

Well prepared for visit and candid/honest

Excellent in the end but we anguished for weeks in a desperate effort to get what we understood to be urgently needed treated for what was labeled by the radiological lab as a rapidly expanding SOVA which appeared to present a very high risk of short term death. We were in a seemingly desperate state. Only when we finally saw Dr Kirker was it made clear that I didn't have an aneurysm of the sinus of the Valsalva which was an extremely welcome and belated revelation. Dr. Kirker was wonderful. He provided thorough, thoughtful, relateable and clearly expert guidance. We are grateful to have him in our corner.

I have complete confidence in the doctor and the staff was very knowledgeable abd helpful.

He explained everything to me very well and definitely calmed my anxiety. If I need surgery in the future I will request that he is my surgeon. Thank you!

Good communicator. Nice and professional.

Very positive

Very caring and insightful with complete explanation of options for treatments. I felt complete at ease and more than satisfied with his care!

This was my first visit with Dr.Kirker. My cardiologist recommended him to me. I felt very comfortable with him and was impressed by his bedside manner. He seemed extremely knowledgeable and successful in his ability to take care of my condition, plus my kids liked him also.

Dr. Kirker was very informed about my condition and answered all questions. I left feeling very comfortable and glad he is my surgeon.

I appreciated that Dr. Kirker decided that I didn't need surgery based on what he saw on my CT scan.

Dr. Kirker took great effort to explain my imaging and how the imaging worked and how it affected my health. I was extremely happy with my visit.

Very easy to talk with, and I felt very comfortable with him. Very nice personality!

Dr. Kirker was knowledgeable, courteous and compassionate. I am glad he is doing my upcoming surgery. I feel grateful he took me on as a patient.

Dr. Kirker is an outstanding surgeon and has answered all of my myriad of questions in ways that are easy to understand. I appreciate his attention to detail and his post-operative follow-up. The office staff and the team of nurses and PAs who work with him are also excellent.

All of Dr. Kirker's experience, knowledge and expertise in his field withstanding, he is a still a human and knows how to connect with patients on a human level, be realistic about outcomes and help patients embrace their fears.

Good with surgery to come soon

He's the first out of the 5 cardiac care doctors I've talked to who I feel has told me most of the story about my situation. I understand why he didn't discuss the things he left out, because many people might over react. Dr Kirker came up with the best plan, by far, for my cardiac care that I've heard yet! Thank you and I'll be seeing you soon.

Excellent

Dr Kirker listened to me and he had read ALL of my records before my visit. He was sensitive to my feelings and those of my husbands. I feel extremely confident that we made the right choice in choosing Dr Kirker as my surgeon for my upcoming surgery. He was clear, concise, and was passionate about his work.

Excellent meeting, Dr Kirker gave me a complete rundown on the findings from my echo cardiogram and said my aortic root was good and all he suggested I come back in a year to monitor my situation.

Excellent visit. Long wait. I really liked Dr Kirker.

Dr. Kirker and the entire team around him are all amazingly wonderful caring people. All of them display and practice professionalism that allows the patient to feel valued and respected as an individual not just another patient. They take the time to get to know you. I have been to this office annually and always feel welcomed every time. He also did save my life. I maybe a bit biased. If I could give a bigger score than 10 I would.

Very friendly and informative

Good experience with Dr. Kirker and his staff at the clinic.

Listened to my concerns and questions and explained to my concerns

Dr. Kirker embodies the very best of both professionalism and personal worlds. His broad knowledge and highly developed skills are what you want from a cardiac surgeon - at the same time, his compassionate and friendly approach is so open and supportive. Dr. Kirker is brilliant, yet he is the king of humble. I am so grateful for his good care and excellent outcome. Providence is so fortunate to have him!

Dr Kirker was delayed by emerg surgery but saw me as soon as he returned. He was respectful~and as we'd never met, took the time to review my complex med history; respond patiently to all questions and address my concerns. I appreciated so much his courteous, and professional demeanor~and if I ever need heart valve surgery I future feel Dr Kirker is a surgeon I can trust in whom I'd have full confidence.

Within the first 60 seconds of my first visit with Dr. Kirker, he made me feel as if he had known me for 50 years.

All good

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.

Excellent experience

Dr Kirker is the epitome of a great doctor.

Dr Kirker was very helpful explaining everything and making it clear about choices in treatment. What we would do next and we would proceed. I received excellent advice and care.
