He has provided state of the art, comprehensive periodontal and implant care to the Marion and Citrus county populations for over 25 years. Dr. Darby partnered with native Ocalan and fellow periodontist Dr. Timothy Johnson in 1989. Together they have enjoyed over 18 years of excellent partnership while maintaining offices both in Crystal River and Ocala.
Dr. Darby strongly believes that the highest level of patient care is achieved by collaborative diagnosis and close team work with his referring doctors. It is his position that both periodontal and implant care are prosthetically driven, beginning with the restorative end in mind. When Dr. Darby was asked why he felt the practice had been so successful, he replied
“I think all of us – myself, Dr. Johnson and the staff try to live by our mission statement”.
A number of years ago we all got together and came up with our mission statement which is to treat each patient with the same caring concern and respect we would give to our own family and to also treat our dental colleagues with deference and respect.
