Duke Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Clinic - Clinic 2B/2C
I am a transplant surgeon specializing in kidney transplants. Kidney transplantation is unique in surgery because you’re providing a cure for a disease. It’s very rewarding to see the patients succeed after surgery; the donors also make my practice very special. We can’t do a transplant without them providing this wonderful gift. Duke has been performing kidney transplants for 50+ years – since the very beginnings of the field. In fact, the process of how we match tissues for transplants was started at Duke. We’ve done thousands of kidney transplants here, so it’s great to be a part of a program with such a rich history. I’m also the chairman of the Department of Surgery and the surgeon-in-chief for the Duke University Health System, where we perform all types of transplants. Dr. Kirk is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malnutrition. His top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Hepatic Ischemia, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Kidney Transplant, and Islet Cell Transplantation.
Duke Children's Gastroenterology Creekstone
I chose medicine because of my desire to help people live their healthiest lives. I chose pediatric gastroenterology because children and adolescents deserve the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential. I especially love that this pediatric gastroenterology allows me to work with my hands through endoscopy and colonoscopy to diagnose and treat the conditions that we treat. Within my field, I am specifically interested in eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease but enjoy seeing and treating everything from mouth to bottom.
