About
Dr Kirk is known for her kindness, patience, and ability to make patients feel at ease during their dental visit. She believes in treating patients "as you would a member of your own family". Dr. Kirk's favorite part of dentistry is treating families and witnessing their long term health and growth. Dr. Kirk discovered her love for dentistry at a young age, when her dental hygienist told her "you have a way with people and should consider dentistry as a career". Following high school, Dr. Kirk completed a degree in dental hygiene and practiced as a dental hygienist for 7 years before going back to dental school at UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. In the mean time, she received a degree from Pfeiffer University and graduated with highest distinction. She also did extensive research following her studies in regenerative medicine, thus enhancing her knowledge for the health care field from a different perspective. Following dental school at UNC Chapel Hill she completed a general practice residency in Columbia, SC at Palmetto Health Richland Hospital. There she learned how to manage immunocompromised patients, place dental implants, oral and IV sedation, dental trauma management, and cosmetic dentistry. During her one year residency, she also spent several months treating veterans at the DORN VA hospital and volunteered at the Health Department in both the adult and children's clinic. As a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Charlotte Dental Society, the North Carolina Dental Association and South Charlotte Study Club. Dr. Kirk strives to stay current on new dental research and dental techniques. She participates in community learning sessions for children and parents at various child care facilities. She is a proud volunteer of the NC Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic, Junior League of Charlotte Family Healthlink Events, and does information sessions at local schools to educate our youth about dental health. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, traveling, skiing, exercising, church, and spending time with her family here in Charlotte. She is married to her husband, Scott, and has two children. She also loves her dog, Baxter.
