Ashley Kirk-Shanks

A native of Wichita, after college Ashley has spent over 15 years working in traditional medicine, with the last seven years dedicated to family medicine. Throughout her career, she has supported patients in a wide range of settings, assisting with procedures, administering injections, and performing lab draws. Her hands-on experience and genuine compassion have made her a trusted resource for both patients and providers.

While Ashley has always loved working in healthcare, she felt traditional medicine often overlooked the deeper “why” behind symptoms. Her passion for truly understanding the root cause of health concerns naturally led her to the Riordan Clinic. She immediately felt aligned with the clinic’s mission and is excited to continue growing within a field that reflects her values and belief in whole-person healing.

Outside of work, Ashley is a proud mom of five sons who keep her busy with football, basketball, and soccer. She also has three dogs, and her family loves getting outside and taking them on long walks.
