Dr was not anxious to leave the office, he wanted to hear what I had to say my concerns and how to fix them. I really appreciate the fact that he didn't just wanna get up and leave. Thank you very much.

Austin Kirschner is one of the most fantastic physicians I've ever met and I am now (as of today!!) 75 years old. I cannot recommend him enough or say enough great things about him. Before my treatment he literally went to Lebanon early early in the morning to perform a procedure for me the way I wanted it performed. He sedated me rather than forcing me to take a local in what I consider one of the most sensitive areas of my body.

The MD took considerable time to answer our questions and explain details for us. Truly sensed he cared deeply in my recovery from cancer and was equally sensitive to my wife. The word exceptional best describes this physician
