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.

Borderline mean
Rude!!! Non caring, even giggled at my diagnosis. Her assistant stayed behind in the exam room to answer a question that this Dr walked away from. Terrible that the help has to cover for the Dr. I thought I’d have to leave the practice, but fortunately there are other fantastic physicians there. If this woman showed up in my hospital room, I’d ask food service to treat me instead.

She has been treating my husband since he was diagnosed four and a half years ago. He is in a very good status now thanks to her treatment decisions every step of the way.

I`d like to say that I`m very pleased with Dr. Gardner, she`s thorough, compassionate, and very good. I was very dissatisfied with the other doctor. Very dissatisfied with him, I didn`t find him to follow up or be thorough but I switched to Dr. Gardner and I`m very pleased with her.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gardner?
Has a bit of a condescending attitude, like she is doing you a favor because you aren't as ill as some others she sees. Felt like being talked to by a HS guidance counselor, not my oncologist. Even the way she gave me the news I had cancer was pretty fast and cold, like, let's get this over with I'm busy today. Scribbled the name of my condition, made a mistake, crossed it out, scribbled something else. When I got home I couldn't decipher it. Last visit I felt like I was in an argument or a reprimand for even being there, second guessing the referral that resulted in the visit. Not what I want in a cancer doctor.
