Having moved from WV we found all services in Wake Forest to be double. I was really worried when it came to picking out a vet because we have 3 dogs and 2 cats and they have been seeing the same vet in WV for 11 years. So, picking a vet was going to be hard. \r
I met a Vet who works in research and he referred me to Dr. Darch. He and his wife have several animals and they all go to Dr. Darch.\r
The first time we met Dr. Darch we had been up most of the night with our youngest Maltese. Dr. Darch was very thorough with Lilly. THis happened a second time and we were able to get her to Dr. Darch while she was still in discomfort. By the time we got her home and she took the first dose of medicine, she was back to normal. I forgot to mention, he gave me the antibiotic and a can of wet food for her and I don't think he charged me extra for that. :)\r
We just took Lilly in to get her teeth cleaned the first time. Dr. Darch said she may have a cough because of the trach. Well, she was fine until 3:30 in the morning. She was barking like a seal. I called the office at 8:30 and Dr. Darch came to the phone and assured me that it was the cough he was telling me about yesterday. He did not make me feel stupid. I just didn't expect it to be so severe. Well, it wasn't 30 minutes later and he called back to say that if it was really bad that I could give her a dose of children's cough medicine. I know he just did that to make me feel better. \r
I've read several negative comments about Dr. Darch and I find them hard to believe. He is a busy doctor with many patients. He does not have time to carry on a 20 minute converstation with each of us. I had a very hard time changing vets but I have found his staff and him to be great! He did not have to call me back but he did. \r
If a vet uses him then that should tell you something right there!
Pros: Friendly staff, convenient, cheaper than most.
Cons: Can't use my credit card but that's okay.
