The ER doctors and nurses would constantly interrupt after asking a question, staff generally seemed cold and didn't seem to care weather or not they actually solved any issues. It felt like they just wanted to find a temporary solution and kick me out.

We are so thankful to have such a well-staffed and capable facility in our small town, close to home. My entire family uses Kirby regularly for a variety of care and we just love the friendly service and knowledgeable staff, not to mention the wide range of services from lab testing and ER to physical therapy. This facility is a real community asset!

Small Town care, excellent staff, feels very personal compared to larger cities. Everyone is always smiling and saying hi, even the cleaning and maintenance crew.
