Awards and Accolades
Amazing Doctor!
Dr. Kirchner is by far the most amazing doctor I’ve ever had. I went to the hospital and ended up needing an emergency C-section, and she was so calm, compassionate, and reassuring through the entire experience. She explained everything clearly and made sure I felt safe and supported — which meant the world to me during such a stressful time. I truly believe that because of her, both my baby girl and I are here today. Truly a wonderful doctor and an even more wonderful human being.

Special Care Close to Home
The primary reason for choosing my OBGYN was because I wanted someone close. I also wanted someone with experience. I have dermatomyositis, which is a disease of the bones and joints. So, going into pregnancy, I was very nervous about how that would affect my pregnancy journey.

They listen to your concerns
This has been my 2nd experience with Dr Kirchner and her staff and they are absolutely amazing. They listen to your concerns were able to fit me into their schedule as timely as possible for the issue I am having. She delivered a baby right before one of my appointments and still made it to see her patients. Her office staff and Nurse are the most caring an wonderful medical staff I ever had. She will definitely be my obyn for the long run.
