Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences.

- December 21, 2022 Dr Darby is a wonderful physician who I believe genuinely cares for her patients well being she is young but she shows a great deal of knowledge in her field and put me at ease from the first moment I met with her. She went well beyond explaining my health issue and the procedure I needed to correct it and that helped my anxiety greatly. I would recommend her to anyone who was in need of the same health care.
- December 19, 2022 She appears to be a brilliant doctor. I needed more information on the post healing after surgery. I have been struggling with post surgery hypersensitivity in the surgical site, very painful/uncomfortable. I have had to rely on Googling this information for self treatment. I trust the surgery went well and she is brilliant at the execution of her skills. Straight forward delivery of my results and projected outcome. Overall happy with outcome at this point.
