After suffering an aortic dissection on September, 28 2020, my chances for survival were only one in four. I was blessed that Dr. Kirshner just happened to be on call that day and he literally saved my life. After a nine hour operation and 57 days in the hospital (22 in intensive care), I'm finally making real progress in recovering from the devastating rupture. I'm also sure that had Dr. Kirshner not been there that night to operate on me, I wouldn't be here today. I'm deeply thankful and blessed to have had him as my surge... read more

Dr kirshner lied to my 78 year old fathers face and delayed care for over 3 months! He finally admitted his lies in a room full of people. My father died as a direct result of delay in care caused by Dr Kirshner.

Dr Kirshner lied to my father on whether he would perform a much needed heart surgery. He looked him in the eye and said he would fix his heart. We believed him. But the reality was he had no plans to do the procedure. He did not want to take the 15% risk of death during surgery. Even though without the surgery my father had 100 percent risk of dying. The truth would have been nice so we could have gotten a second opinion and found someone willing to take the risk. But instead we were strung along for over 3 months wasting v... read more

I had my open heart surgery on March-09-2018. Dr. Kirshner is my heart surgeon. An excellent one. He made me feel very comfortable from the very first visit. I highly recommend him to any patient. Thank you for saving my life and also thanks to all the staff that helped me at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus. I appreciate very much.

He is my heart surgeon. I am alive today because of him. Him and his nurse are the best we have ever met. I would recomend any one who wants a world class heart doctor to go to him.

Dr. Kirshner successfully repaired a mitral valve for my mom, who is 75 years old. He was informative, personable, kind and explained everything so that we could understand the procedure. He was confident, easy to talk to and showed compassion. He never made us feel like we were rushed when asking questions and stopped by frequently to check on her before and after surgery. Dr. Kirshner is an excellent surgeon and my mom had wonderful results. We are grateful she found such an amazing doctor!

Dr. Kirshner performed Aortic valve replacement surgery on me in 2011. He did such an excellent job I was able to regain my first class FAA flight physical 1 year later. I would highly recommend him. If you would find yourself in similar circumstances or any required heart surgery.
