I was having sharp pain in my lower, right calf at night when I was sleeping causing interrupted sleep patterns, and I recognized I could have potential for a blood clot issue due to varicose veins. I went to Dr. Darling for an evaluation, and he identified four saphenous veins that had gone bad requiring removal. The four surgeries were so successful and life changing in terms of strength, vitality, and being pain-free, that I made an appointment for my husband! Dr. Darling is the best!

Dr. Darling did an excellent job on a cyst I had on my forehead. Was given pain medicine after surgery and did not need it because I felt absolutely no pain from day one to days after. I was amazed because I thought I would at least feel some throbbing at the least. He also froze 9 spots off my head and face and went through that without any problems. I highly recommend Dr. Darling for any such issues.
“GREAT DOCTOR”

Dr. Darling and his staff are the best. I went to see him for one thing and ended up having my legs looked at as well due to spider and varicose veins. Discovered that I have vein disease which was causing my restless leg and other issues. He took care of the veins and I have not had to take my prescription meds for restless leg and my legs just feel so much better overall. I highly recommend him and will continue to use him for any issues that may arise and he handles.

Wow, where do I begin? I was diagnosed with Melanoma almost 20 yrs ago by another Dr in Kansas. He removed it and said all was fine. I went to Dr Darling to check on a Basil Cell I had on my lip. He noticed the scare and asked about it . Then checked into it and said, "True they had removed it all, but had not established a buffer zone." Then Dr Darling did the buffer zone and found there was MELANOMA in the biopsy he had just taken. Dr Darling saved my life by following up and excellent care

I had been going to a dermatologist previous to Dr. Darling for about a year. I had made no improvements so I decided I needed a second opinion! I am so glad that I did...within 2 weeks I had made improvement. He had a full blood work done for me and discovered other under lying issues and treated those as well. He has really helped me in the last 4 months that I have seen him to have more confidence! I have more energy and feel better then I have in a long time. He has been great!

My son had horrible acne as a teenager and suffered for two years before finally finding Dr. Darling. We tried over the counter, proactive and prescription creams. We went to two other doctors, and nothing worked. Until, thankfully, someone referred us to Dr. Darling. He was amazing, took a sincere interest in my son and had him clear in months. My son was so happy, a new confident man emerged and now my husband and I use him. Thank you Dr. Darling

I came in to see Dr. Darling nine months ago. I had been suffering with chronic hives for almost six months. I had been to multiple doctors and tried adjusting my diet and skin regimen looking for answers, all with no results. I made an appointment with Dr. Darling and got in to see him immediately. He listened and sent me in for blood work. With no results, he went back to the drawing board and found my issue! I am so happy to have a doctor that cares and checks in with me! Thank you.

Utilized Dr. Darling for hormone therapy (testosterone), along with male pattern baldness. My energy level has been through the roof, and I have regained my ability to lose weight. My hair looks fuller than it has in 10 years. My only only regret is that I waited so long to get treatment. I thought my fatigue was "normal" for getting older...not true! Highly recommend, make the phone call!!

I came in for my first doctor visit last year after being physically beaten with severe head and face trauma from domestic abuse. I had low self-esteem due to the bruising and swelling w/pain on both eyes still showing up after 4 months w/hardly no improvements. Doctor Scott Darling made me feel comfortable and immediately examined both eye areas then prescribed the best creme for my face. I saw improvements after two weeks. Staff was amazing and fast. The office was right off the hwy. Perfect!!

I am a 92 y.o. male who developed weakness in my right leg approximately 3 months ago causing me to nearly fall on 2 occasions. I reported my symptoms to Dr. Darling who performed a physical exam and venous duplex ultrasound of my legs. He diagnosed me as having a peripheral neuropathy from Chronic Venous Insufficiency. Dr. Darling subsequently performed an endovenous laser ablation of the saphenous veins in my right leg. This resulted in a 80-100% improvement in the strength of my right leg.

I was having difficulties with memory and concentration and suffering from low energy and fatigue as well as depressed mood and feeling "cold" all the time. Dr. Darling did a simple blood test followed by additional testing for neurocognition and thyroid testing. Following this simple blood test, he then gave me bio-identical hormone therapy to correct my hormone deficiencies that were causing my symptoms. Now I am back to normal going to church, and socializing with my grandchildren.
