John Kirby, M.D.

As a radiologist in an emergency setting, my main focus is to detect and communicate critical imaging results in a timely manner to aid the team in providing the highest quality care possible.

I grew up in the small town of Sparta, Tennessee, before attending medical school. I was extremely fortunate to be able to complete my training at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, where I developed a passion for abdominal imaging, especially in the emergent setting.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing ice hockey.
