Kirby is an extremely accomplished health care provider. He is very knowledgable and is able to explain the diagnosis and treatment to the patient in an understandable fashion. In his clinic, there is an easy sense of confidence. His use of humour and his affable manner put people at ease and help them feel comfortable. Kirby Epp and Valhalla Physiotherapy have provided me with excellent service and I would rank them at the top of my list or comparable health care professionals.
