About Darren Keller, MD
Appointments for Sharp Rees-Stealy Gastroenterologists are by referral from a Sharp Rees-Stealy primary care physician only. I strive to provide high-quality, patient-centered care with the most up-to-date information and technology possible. In essence, my goal is to provide the same level of care that I would want for myself or family. As a young college student I worked for some very gifted physicians who not only possessed outstanding medical knowledge and skills but simultaneously practiced a humanistic medicine that provided great solace and compassion for their patients. I continue to endeavor to emulate these characteristics in my career. My hobbies include playing soccer, backpacking/hiking and traveling (to name just a few).

Patient reviews
Verified Patient
October 25, 2024Dr. Keller speaks Spanish he is an excellent doctor but in the office there is a very difficult "secretary." She would answer the telephone and would hang up very "rude."

Verified Patient
September 28, 2024Dr. Keller and his team are the number one reason I am incredibly loyal to this department. I would adjust my health insurance situation in order to receive his particular care. His knowledge in the field, his ability to communicate complicated medical topics to patients in a way that helps them understand what's necessary for achieving the best possible outcomes-is an uncanny skill you don't find from many other physicians. He does this with a bedside manner that is welcoming and caring and truly makes me feel he has my best interests in mind. I trust his viewpoint wholeheartedly, and I attribute the success of my own disease management all to this person. So for me, it's been nothing short of life changing. The kind of care you wish everyone could have. Because of my experiences, I've referred many people to this department as I know two other individuals who have IBDs. My experiences with Dr. Keller and this department have left me with such positive experiences, I've done nothing but tell me people, "At Sharp, their Gastroenterology department is the one you want" for the past five years. It's as top notch as you can get, bar none.
