Dr Darger, Kristy, and his entire staff are the absolute best! They go above and beyond, he'll call you and "counsel" you over the phone, he doesn't require you making unnecessary trips if he can give you advice over the phone and has even had prescriptions called in for me to avoid me having to bring them in for an office visit. Kristy also takes calls and gives recommendations. They definitely care and don't just immediately tell you that you need an office visit if it isn't necessary. Dr Darger's energy is contagious, he LOVES animals, and I am confident my dogs have the very best care out there. They also get you in last minute if you have an emergency situation. They MAKE the time. They truly want what is best for your furry baby. I would drive a great distance if necessary to stay with this vet because I have the utmost confidence and respect for them.
