Kevin A Kirby, DPM

I could barely walk when I finally found Dr. Kriby. My own doctors had no idea what was happening to me. I was in constant and debilitating pain. I’ve had MRIs and X-​rays that showed nothing. I had a spinal epidural that helped for a couple weeks. My doctors had no clue what was wrong. I’m sure there is a good dose of ‘she’s nuts’ in my medical file. A friend suggested I try him. I went to him with nothing to lose. I’ll never forget his reaction when he looked at my feet for the first time… he just sadly shook his head and said…‘oh my’ (he’s actually pretty funny!). I knew I had finally found the help I needed. Making the orthotics has been a process. Three months (visits) so far. Each adjustment is better. And… I’m walking again. I’m exercising again. I have a life again… The man knows his stuff and has my trust and appreciation!

Just the like vacuum, he sucks well. Screw this guy. Went in due to high arches and was recommended by my podiatrist to give Kirby a visit. Said he makes great orthotics and definitely will help with my situation. Went there with high hopes and excited that I could get some relief/​help with my feet issues. Knowing that this may not be a 100% improvement, but anything over 70% would be awesome!
Upon meeting Kirby, first thing out of his mouth is, you don’t like you runs «marathons or ever ran one before». Really dude? So the sny-​insults about my weight kept on rolling out of his mouth. So in hopes of me not being a bigger asshole than him, because I needed the orthotics, I kept my cool. Upon receding them, $ 360 later, the cork and fabric wore down after a months of use. I workout and work in ER. At this time, $ 75 to have the fabric and cork put on again. Long story short, i now have $ 360 door stoppers (no lie) and took a bunch off insults from a jackass, arrogant, SOB. I went back to podiatry and asked them to quit referring patients to this guy.
I don’t recommend this guy purely on the fact that he’s a jackass and bedside manner is crap. Plus, the orthotics didn’t do anything and he forgot to raise up my left side a little higher than right due to differences in height between legs.

I saw Dr Kirby for some new orthotics and he is the best Dr. around. I read a negative comment about him and just have to say that he is very funny and really doesn’t pull punches when making a reference to feet. If they are messed up he will let you know what to do to ease the pain but lets face it, we do not go to a Podiatrist because we have perfect feet. We go because we need help. If you want a tremendous Podiatrist then go to Dr. Kirby. The office staff are top notch as well. Just an all around professional experience

Dr Kirby is the best! He performed my foot surgery Dec 2014. He told me exactly what was my problem and he fixed it. He is kind, professional, and funny! I have not had any problems with my foot that I had been experiencing prior to my surgery. HIs staff is great. This is one doctor office I enjoy visiting.

Three months ago (May 2014), Dr. Kirby performed double Bunionectomy surgery on my feet. I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend Dr. Kirby to anyone who is in need of the services of a top notch podiatrist/​surgeon. I had very little post surgical pain, very little scaring and he was prompt in calling me the very next day to check in with me to see how I was feeling. Dr. Kirby and his office staff are friendly, professional and responsive. Three months later I’m completely pain free and my feet look great!!! You have a very satisfied patient! Thank you Dr. Kirby!

I saw Dr. Kirby because of pain in my heel. My primary care doctor had done an x-​ray and found a heel spur. Dr. Kirby was running about 45 minutes behind and I saw him in the late afternoon. Clearly, he was annoyed and in a hurry. I have custom orthotics. He looked at them and told me they were structurally OK, but could use a little more padding, but he did not have time to do it. He never watched me walk or run. He touched my foot on the sore spot and then proceeded to get angry with me because I told him I had run the day before. The heel did not hurt when I started the run. He also told me that I looked good for my age, but that I was «getting up there.» I am 64 and in excellent health. When he inquired about the history of the pain, he would not let me finish a sentence without interrupting me. He told me not to run for two weeks and to make another appointment with him. He gave me NO way to deal with the heel pain or lessen it with stretches, icing, or meds. I actually had to ask him if I should ice it, take ibuprofen, or stretch it. His answer was, «Yea.» He read me the riot act about not running because I would end up with something far worse if I continued. In short, he did absolutely nothing for me. I felt pressured into making the return appointment, but I called and canceled it the next morning. I called the sports podiatrist who had made my orthotics two years ago, even though he is a distance away. I saw him and got a completely different attitude and advice. He adjusted my orthotics while I was there and made numerous recommendations, and also took the time to get out a model of the foot and show me what was going on. He assured me this was common and would get better, and encouraged me to continue being active and to call him if I didn’t get resolution. Wow! Somehow had told me that Dr. Kirby specialized in sports podiatry, so I decided to see him because he is much closer than the other doctor. What a waste of my time! Never again!

Four months ago Dr. Kirby performed a bunionectomy on both of my feet. Throughout the process, he was very patient with me and answered my numerous questions, even when he had answer the same questions at a prior appointment. He advised me of the expected results, recovery process and issues related to having both feet operated on at once. I could not be more pleased with the result and only wish I had seen Dr. Kirby sooner. I would recommend Dr. Kirby to anyone in need of a podiatrist.

I have suffered with foot pain for years, bunions. plantar fasciitis… Dr. Kirby has helped me so much with orthotics & bunion surgery now i can begin to walk with minimal pain, and wear average shoes. I am so grateful for Dr. Kirby’s knowledge and years of experience, his quick wit along with his wonderful staff that makes it a pleasure to go to his office every time! I would highly recommend Dr. Kirby to anyone with foot problems, he’s the best!

I was referred to Dr. Kirby by my Kaiser podiatrist for custom orthotics for treatment of plantar fasciitis. Every time I asked him a question about my condition or the solution, his pat answer was «I’ve done this over 15,000 times in my career». Well, sorry to inconvenience you, but this is my first time. I found him to be rude, arrogant and patronizing. I’ve spoken with one other female patient who had the same opinion. The verdict is uncertain if this is how he treats all patients or just women. I’m also still uncertain if these custom $ 350 orthotics will be of any help because he simply says «You’ll get used to them». I would not recommend him to anyone. This review shows one star because they won’t let you post zero stars.
