Dr. Donald Gardner, MD

Excellent

We love Dr. Gardner. He’s been my mom’s doctor for over 20 years. He listens to our questions and is always patient and kind. Can’t imagine her going anywhere else. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our mom.

From the always cheerful greeting by Tonya, to the in-depth analysis and review by Dr. Gardner, this place has given me the best medical care I have ever received. Always caring and considerate, yet very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. It's why I keep coming back. And they do telehealth visits as well - big help with my travel schedule.

Diabetes is a marathon, not a sprint! With that being said I have been a patient of Dr. Gardners for a long time. I have had brittle diabetes since probably 2012 when I first started on a pump, I've been obese several times, called and complained about my blood sugars, etc. Most checkups were based on blood work, no real investigative or background work done at the request of the doctor for a better long-term prognosis with the disease even though I said I was doing fine with it all when clearly I wasn't. People deal with disease differently, some people don't even acknowledge they need help. I never did, even though there were signs I wasn't doing my best. When I sought help in 2018 because I was physically and emotionally exhausted with diabetes and didn't know what I was doing anymore and didn't know how to acknowledge it I got told what a nuisance I was and to go on a stronger anti-depressant. Dr. Gardner has a nice enough bedside manner, but no safety net for patients.

I have been patient of Dr. GARDNER for over 20 years. He is a kind, gentle soul. He is very knowledgeable and proactive and has referred me to great doctors, such as my PCP. He has a very nice and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend.

Such an AMAZING, patient and caring doctor. He listens to my concerns. Instead of scolding me about my weight gain, he told me that we were going to work on one thing at a time.

Dr. Gardner is a great doctor for me. He has been my endocrinologist for 5 years. He has helped me to achieve excellent diabetes and cholesterol control. He has helped me with other some other health issues I have with the best doctor referrals. His office staff is competent and pleasant. I highly recommend him.

very attentive, works with me to control my disease. have had doctors that would only tell you what to do.

Patient, helpful, through, explains everything.

I came to this practice when I moved here. The women in the office are the typical " I am overworked and you problems are not important to me types" Long waits for the the doctor once they lock you up in the exam room. Now they changed my meds 2 weeks ago. My INS co needed more info. NO ONE has returned a call or made sure my previous Rx was re-filled. I would avoid this practice. The Doc is ok but lazy would be a compliment to his office staff. A room full of crabby no nothings.

Dr. Gardner is very good at what he does, but I have sat in the office for as long as 2+ hours to where I thought they all went home. I would recommend him especially if you are having trouble getting your diabetes under control. The office needs to schedule fewer appointments, so the doctor can handle them all in a timely manor.

Dr Gardner's nurse practicioner, Kimberley, interviewed me on my first visit. Asked all the right pertinent questions on initial vist. Collaborated with Dr Gardner to form a diagnosis of my health problems. Took time to cover all possibilities. Ordered pertinent lab tests to determine treatment plan.
