Kimberly Kirkwood, MD FACS

I am a Pancreatobiliary and General Surgeon who has innovated novel minimally invasive operations to treat tumors and other benign disorders of the biliary tract, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen. I lead a multicenter research effort focused on pancreatic cyst risk stratification and treatment. I especially enjoy counseling patients about their options, and, when appropriate, providing minimally invasive (Robotic or Laparoscopic) treatment approaches in order to reduce pain after surgery and speed recovery.
