Darin Kent Stockton, MD

As a geriatrician, I focus on the wellness of seniors. I am passionate about managing illness, promoting physical activity and helping my patients maintain independence. Addressing the many health needs of our aging family members can be challenging and complicated, yet absolutely rewarding. It's important to communicate effectively so my patients and their families can rest assured I am looking out for their sincere best interests.

My patients' time is valuable, so I work to respect that and explain things in ways that suit their lifestyles. We can communicate by email, or with good old fashioned telephone calls. Either way, I enjoy listening to what is important to my patients. Every day is different, and every patient is unique.

Growing up in the small town of Guymon, Oklahoma, my childhood hero was my family doctor. It has since been my goal to make a unique and lasting contribution - and for me, medicine was the most obvious way to achieve that. I want all of my patients to walk away knowing that they have an ally in the battle against disease. I want them all to feel comfortable talking to me about the stresses of life and work, and know that they have a friend to lean on and a physician that wants nothing but the best for each of them.
