Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very difficult to schedule appointment
After moving to this office, the visit with the nurse practitioner was great. Super nice, knowledgeable but when biopsy indicated we needed Dr. Gardner to extract it went south. After rescheduling my appointment 3 times over 4 months, and each time waiting 4-6 weeks for a new appointment I decided to go back to my previous doctor and got in immediately. Wish I could tell you how the Dr. actually is but in 4 1/2 months I never got an appointment that fit his ever changing schedule.

As good as it gets. Competent and professional staff. Pleasing and inviting environment. Dr. Gardner is very thorough and allocates his time graciously. It is hard to tell that you are not the only patient of the practice. In addition, Dr. Gardner is very conservative. This is medicine as it should be.

Emily has angle hands! I have been so stressed out lately and traveling like mad and it wrecked havoc on my skin. She recommended the oxygen facial and it was ah-mazing. I am still glowing days later. Thanks, girl!

Best medical spa in the Atlanta or even Georgia area! Lauren was my esthetician and she assessed my skin and recommended a facial treatment and regimen perfect for my skin. Love this place and can't wait for my appointment next month.

after having an undiagnosed skin condition for 20 years, Dr. Gardner's team diagnosed and treated it with two appointments and my skin has never looked so good! In the meeting about my skin condition one of the assistants found an abnormal mole that I had never thought to be a problem! One week later, the spot was removed and I am so grateful for the vigilance and sense of urgency this office has!!
