  1. Very caring and knowledgeable. Wonderful doctor!!!!

  2. Doctor Kirlin is the greatest.

  3. Dr. Kirlin is the most caring, easy to talk to Doctor and he really expresses his interest in your well being. I have been seeing him for over 20 years and he has been a God send person to me. When my primary care doctor sent me to a pain specialist, all I got was the run-a-round and when the pain/swelling in my feet got so bad I called Dr. Kirlin got right in and answers. I love him and would trust him with nor reservation. I wish more physicians was as caring and compassionated about their patient as he is.

  4. Overall fantastic.

  5. I went there to see [Dr. Kirlin] about my toe. He cleaned it and gave me more medicine. While there I talked to him about the pain in my feet on the top behind the toes. He recommended shoe inserts. I did not think they would help as much as they do. Thank you for a good visit

  6. [Dr. Kirlin] listens to me and explains what is going on. He tells me how he is going to treat the issue and got me started on meds. This was my second appointment and I have another in 3 months for him to access the problem. Very pleased with my care.
