Aggieland has always held a special place in Dr. Kirkpatrick’s heart, as it is where she met her husband, Justin. They are thrilled to be back in Bryan/College Station and think it is the perfect place to raise their two boys. They love being involved in their local church, cheering on the Aggies, and playing fetch with their golden retriever. Dr. Kirkpatrick is excited to be part of Brazos Valley Eye Care, and looks forward to providing you with caring, high quality eye care!
