About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Family Medicine

Watching her mother’s care team when she had cancer impacted Dr. Lindsay Darkins’ decision to become a physician herself. She appreciates the long-term relationships that form as she cares for families through all stages of life.

As a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Darkins sees all ages for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illness. She is also interested in women’s health, along with lifestyle and obesity medicine. She sees her role as an advocate for her patients as she guides them through the health care process. She wants her patients to feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their concerns. Dr. Darkins encourages everyone to find some kind of physical activity that brings them joy and that they can do at least several times a week. She likes to focus people on their health spans, assuring that they can maintain independence as they age.

Dr. Darkins grew up in the Loveland area. During residency, she volunteered on a mission trip to Belize and would like to continue that rewarding work. She enjoys being outside, hiking, kayaking and playing tennis. She also loves to read and spend time creating healthy meals for her loved ones.
