      I just wish he could do the surgery that he and I discussed that is needed to improve or alleviate my problem!!! Dr. Darnell is a Super surgeon as well as an individual. He was very soft spoken and spoke to me face to face and that made me feel confident in him and his advice.

      I enjoy coming to see Dr. Darnell. He has operated on both my parents. He is the best! He is kind, intelligent, empathetic and truly cares for his patients. He even came into work just having had surgery and being on crutches just to be there for his patients(one of which happened to be me that day). God bless him!

      This was the first time I had an appointment with this group. Was there for an appointment concerning a lipoma on my left shoulder. Dr. Darnell explained all about the lipoma very well and I understand now about it. This appointment was very informative. Everyone there were great. They really put a person at ease. I would definitely recommend them to ALL my friends.
