Youll enjoy better overall health, and additionally improved self-confidence and wellbeing as a result of a smile fully restored to proper function and aesthetics.
A big thank you to Dr. Darby. From the first step in the door to the last step out, every aspect of my visit with Dr Darby and staff was exceptional. The people at the front office were very professional, friendly and communicative. I had a vertical fracture that was quite painful. The first dentist I saw nearly sent me through the roof during the initial exam and made me terrified to consider treatment there. I then went to Dr. Darby and that pain free experience was like night and day. I also liked that Dr Darby was very thorough and spent time explaining the issues, discussing my options and making sure I felt completely comfortable. My husband and I spend most of the year in California but if I need any other dental procedure like the one I had, I'll be back in Ocala to see Dr. Darby.
I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Darby. He took a lot of time with me to discuss what he thought my problem was, what the possible treatment options would be and then did exactly what he said he would do. He and his staff were very kind and thoughtful and always made me feel comfortable. When I needed to contact Dr. Darby about a prescription, he took my call himself on a Saturday afternoon and called in the prescription I needed right away. The surgery went very well, and I did not experience any pain or problems due to the techniques he used. I have been 'released' as of today, as he has done all that was needed, and did not push any unnecessary treatments on me. I will highly recommend him.
I was apprehensive about the bone grafting on my implant, but I can tell you Dr. Johnson and his staff were caring and answered all my questions. I am so glad I had this procedure done. Not to much pain and I healed up nicely Thanks Doc, you are the best
I recently had periodontal surgery at Dr. Johnson's office and was totally satisfied with the office and the staff. Dr. Johnson was kind and gentle, making the surgery a pleasant experience. I never felt any pain, even during the recovery process. His staff was professional, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this office.
My husband has been Dr. Darby's patient for the past 16 years. He is very attentive, thorough and professional. The treatment he is undergoing is lengthy in time and technically challenging, yet we have been very happy every step of the way with his care. I would recommend Dr. Darby to any of my friends and family .
Dr Johnson did an extraction, bone graft and dental implant. The procedures were easy and I had no pain for any procedure. Dr. Johnson is an excellent dentist, very professional and I would highly recommend him for any periodontal treatment. Best oral care I have ever received.
Have been a patient of Dr. Johnson for several years and he and his staff have always been very professional, friendly and caring. From the cleanings, skin & bone grafts to the dental implants there never has been an issue. He is highly skilled and if you are in need of Periodontal procedures there is no one better. Thank you Dr. Johnson.

Everyone in this office is amazing. I brought my dad in for a consult and we were so lost at what we needed to do, because our General Dentist had retired. Dr. Johnson and staff got us on a treatment plan, and helped us navigate the other steps we needed to take. I appreciate their patience and kindness they showed us.

Dr. Darby and the staff went way above and beyond with me. I'm not fond of "dentists", but Dr. Darby definitely put me at great ease. He and his caring assistant explained, took their time with me, and broke everything down that I would need for my procedures. They are very truthful, compassionate, and helped me GREATLY! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Darby! Absolutely no need for anyone to look elsewhere. They were wonderful.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with dental surgery. The office staff members are friendly, efficient, and most helpful. Dr. Darby was very thorough in explaining my upcoming procedure in detail and this is important.. It's good to know what to expect, particularly when it's the first time for a procedure. He is kind and gentle and my surgery went smoothly. The followup was carefully guided by weekly appointments to track progress. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Darby and the entire staff of this office.

I had a great experience. Over decades, I'd brushed my gums away. Dr. Johnson used the new "pinhole" method, and I now have gums up and down. I had minimal pain, and what there was went away after a day or so. I probably used only 2-3 pain pills each time. He is a great dental surgeon who always made me feel at ease.

I needed an implant. I was worried about the pain the process would involve. Worried enough to wait two years before Dr. Darby said something needed to be done. Well, let me tell you there was NO pain. Dr. Darby and his staff explained every step every time I came in. Even the extraction was painless.
