Dr. Kirk was raised in the small town of Prosper, Texas, when its population was less than 3,000. He graduated from Legacy Christian Academy and then attended Baylor University, where he majored in Biology and minored in Business Administration, graduating summa cum laude.
During his undergraduate training, he was selected as the Chief Medical Officer intern for Baylor Scott & White Healthcare Systems and was elected president of the Alpha Epsilon Delta medical honor society.

While at Baylor University, he enjoyed working as an optometric technician and decided to further his medical training at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in Lubbock, Texas. Throughout medical school, he worked as a research assistant for the TTUHSC Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Department and published numerous articles, including highlights in optics, oculoplastics, and glaucoma. Having been heavily involved with the ophthalmology department, he decided to pursue an ophthalmic residency at TTUHSC for its cutting-edge clinical and surgical training. Dr. Kirk was selected to be Chief Resident.
He has been trained as a comprehensive ophthalmologist and manages various eye diseases, including dry eye, cataracts, eyelid conditions, and general retinal care. Dr. Kirk specializes in modern ophthalmic surgical and laser techniques, such as cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), eyelid surgery, and refractive surgery. He is well-versed in the most current glaucoma devices available and was one of the first resident physicians in the nation to be certified in both iStent and Hydrus (MIGS).
He is delighted to be part of the TVLC team, providing care for patients in the North Dallas area. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, running, fishing, anc playing tennis.
