Provided by Doctor.comDr. Van kirk is the BEST!! Being a first time mom I had a lot of questions, Dr. Vankirk always answered my questions with fact based answers and a little humor. During delivery he was absolutely amazing, kept us calm during what could have been a stressful situation. My husband and I had ( and still have ) full confidence in his skill and expertise. We are looking forward to our next pregnancy with Dr. Vankirk and his amazing staff!

Provided by Doctor.comI am a first time mom, and started seeing Dr. Van Kirk when I found out I was pregnant. I got along with him very well, he listened to me, and gave me clear answers. When It came time for the big day, he was calm, reassuring, nice, and made the delivery easy for me. I had some tearing and a lot of bleeding, but Dr. Van Kirk took great care of my needs, and I healed up beautifully! I cant wait to get pregnant again, and have Dr. Van Kirk right there with me. I highly recommend him!!

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Van Kirk was my OB/GYN through both my pregnancies. He is unflappable, kind, and funny. He worked to make us comfortable even when, as first time parents, our son turned breach at week 37. He was always clear in his explanations, upfront about what we could expect, and an advocate for us. I feel lucky to have landed in such wonderful hands for both my pregnancies and deliveries. An excellent physician and surgeon.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Van Kirk took care of me through two pregnancies. The first being my first child so you can imagine I was nervous, he set all my anxiety at ease. The second was full of complications and preterm labor. Dr came to see me daily and make sure my health and well being was first priority. He was always very forward and honest about what was going on and made sure to take plenty of time with me daily just to check on my mental state while in the hospital. He is truly amazing. The office staff are just as amazing. They are always so welcoming and nice to talk to. Amber is the sweetest and is willing to work hard to make sure you as a patient feel appreciated and very well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Van Kirk and his staff.

Provided by Doctor.comI had a very complicated third pregnancy, in and out of the ER in frequency. By the grace of God, Dr. Van Kirk happen to be at Mercy one of the times I was admitted, checking on patients. I still hadn't found an OB, he took me on as a patient without hesitation. He's an extremely busy doctor, but always found time to answer my questions and get back to me in a timely manner, the duration of my pregnancy. He always took time to answer all my questions each visit, no matter how ridiculous they were, he was reassuring and set my mind at ease. The pregnancy was tough, all the way to the end. My water ruptured, but I was not showing signs of labor commensing which led to induction. Each choice he made had the best interest of me and my baby in mind, and he explained things every step of the way, which made things less scary. I had a VERY fast labor and delivery once the pitocin kicked in, one he will probably never forget! He barely made it to the hospital I progresses so quickly! Lol! I thank Dr. Van Kirk for his expertise, his commitment to his patients and their individual needs, his humour, his professionalism, and his love for what he does. I have a beautiful baby girl, safe and healthy.

Provided by Doctor.comI've struggled my entire life with sexual issues and never wanted to discuss them with my Dr. Dr. Van Kirk was knowledgeable but most importantly he listened and was empathetic and compassionate in regards to my problems. He has encouraged me to deal with my concerns in a healthy and safe manner. It's the first time I've felt supported in this journey by the medical profession.
The exam was quick yet thorough and not at all uncomfortable.

Provided by Doctor.comAs a "seasoned" nurse practitioner, I tend to be a critical consumer of health care and honestly, who really likes going to the gynecologist. However, I have nothing but praise for Dr. Van Kirk and the entire office staff. From my first phone call through my appointment, I was treated in a kind, professional manner. My questions were answered and then some. Thank you for providing the very best of health care.
