Overview
I feel very privileged to be involved in the care of patients that have undergone or may be considering lung transplantation. These are people whose own lungs have failed them even though they have pursued all the options, efforts, and therapies that are currently available with modern medicine. It is an honor to be part of the journey of someone who is literally fighting to the last breath and then witness their incredible second chance at life due to the immeasurable generosity of an organ donor. Duke is an amazing place to be part of. Their multidisciplinary team values every patient and treats them as an individual. While needing a lung transplant should never be on someone’s wish list, it is my goal to always be able to be there by their side and help them navigate the uncertainties, good or bad, of the future.

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 highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Hepatic Ischemia, Infantile Neutropenia, Kidney Transplant, and Islet Cell Transplantation.
