We are new to Emory and trying to navigate our way through the process. Doctor came abruptly, sat down asked why we were here, and scribbled notes that weren't legible..Made us feel like we were taking him from what he wanted to be doing.

Dr Kirshbauum listened to my concerns of a possible UTI while seeing him regarding cardiology f/Iu. MyPCP office who are located in same bldg. Was unable to see me until 6 hrs later and would not order aUA lab test until I came in to their office. Dr K. Heard my situation and ordered the UA right after seeing me that morning.He called me personally to let me know that my UA was abnormal and that culture would be ready in a couple of days.

Dr Kirschbaum is an excellent cardiologist ...
Dr. Kirschbaum was excellent and I am very glad to have seen him. He was a straight shooter, asking me questions that focused me on the problem at hand and then gave me plenty of time to ask questions or comment on whatever we discussed. He was great about Informing me about what was coverable insurance-wise giving me an opportunity to decide whether or not I wanted the out of pocket tests (which I did). I really appreciated that "no surprises" approach which doesn't always happen with many doctors. He's been extrememely responsive to MyChart messages and I feel extremely confident in his care.
Dr. Kirschbaum is a wonderful physician. He listens really well, is compassionate and patient, and explains things in a way that is easy to understand.

The Physiician Assistant was awesome and Doctor Kirshbaum updated my files and current status informing me of my current condition and took the time to explain my condition and what was needed to treat it! !! He was very caring and concerned and wanted me to know exactly what I needed to do and where to go for further assessments!! He made me feel that I could trust him with my diagnosis I received in my charts from my family practice! I was very satisfied visiting and getting results and advice!! He is one of the best listeners I have ever had,, answered any question I had and made sure I understood each question!!
Good

Dr Kirschbaum diagnosed my condition in 1989 and has taken care of me all along the way through to the present. He is the absolute best!
He's a great doctor.
My husband is already a patient and now, I am as well.
I was assured that any decision I made for my medical care would be totally up to me. That was game winning for me.
Good communicator
Very satisfied with visit
Don't think Dr. Kirschbaum was aware why I was there. Took my blood pressure, very little conversation about my health concern. He asked me to bring a blood pressure diary and my blood pressure device. He looked at the diary and indicated I did not have a high blood pressure problem. He never asked to see my blood pressure device. Told me to schedule an appointment In a year.
Dr Kirschbaum is an excellent Dr. He always listens to what I have to say, shows genuine interest in me as a patient, but also a person. Respects my input and opinion about my care. Provides thorough education about my health and the medications I take. The best!
Very good
Too quick. Lacks empathy, compassion and concern for the patient. Quick to refer to PCP. Never seen a cardiologist that doesn't list to heart sounds, do a EKG or other cardiovascular test. He must be brilliant to have the ability to eyeball the patient and listen to his symptoms and determine the problem is not cardiac. Amazing
The appointment was an annual visit which was very pleasant.

Don't lose Dr Kirschbaum. He is the only reason I tolerated the ineptness of the system.
