Meet Darek Sanford, MD


Dr. Sanford was raised in Northern Kentucky and is excited to return to provide medical care to this community. He enjoys cardiology because it allows him to provide a wide spectrum of care from prevention to diagnostic procedures. He has received additional training in cardio-oncology, which pairs cardiology with oncology to reduce the impact of cancer treatment on heart health. He is committed to getting to know patients individually so that he can personalize their treatment. When not caring for patients, Dr. Sanford enjoys UK football and basketball, cooking, and spending time with his wife and baby daughter.

Dr Sanford was patient in listening to my problem and my concerns and thoroughly explained his treatment plan and next steps to me. I never once felt rushed or like he wanted to get to his next patient. I feel Dr Sanford is genuinely concerned about me and wants to help me heal. He shows a great deal of kindness and compassion and I will recommend Dr Sanford to family and friends in the future. I much appreciate his care, trust his opinion and feel I'm in capable hands.
