Jun 13, 2018
I didn't know what to expect when I was sent to Dr. Kirkland! I'm so happy with my experience, the office staff is friendly and nice. Dr. Kirkland's nurse, I can't remember her name but she allowed me to squeeze her arm very tightly and she just smiled. I recommend Dr. Kirkland 100%. This is my experience and I stand behind it.
