About

I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with a focus on orthopedic sports medicine, total joints and a broad range of orthopedic surgeries and injuries. One of the things that excite me most about this specialty is the how technology and surgery continue to evolve together, making procedures less invasive and creating safer outcomes for patients.

My care team and I are committed to getting patients back to doing what matters most to them by restoring mobility and overall quality of life.

Dr. Kirby listened to my concerns and answered my questions, as well as he could. He acknowledged that he doesn't treat the type of Injury I have so he referred me to a specialist.
