Daphne, Ala. (May 7, 2025) – Baldwin Bone & Joint is pleased to welcome Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner Darin Goff to its growing Pain Management Team, working in collaboration with fellowship-trained specialist Dr. Elliott Pennington. Goff’s addition furthers the practice’s mission to provide advanced, individualized pain management solutions for patients across the Gulf Coast.

Goff brings a strong clinical background in critical care, emergency medicine, and post-anesthesia recovery, with a focus on comprehensive pain care, patient advocacy, and evidence-based treatment strategies. He earned both a Master of Science in Nursing (Family Nurse Practitioner) and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama.
