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.

Appointment for blood work?
I was told that I needed to make an appointment at a future date with the doctor to have my regular bloodwork for cholesterol, thyroid etc. That I could not have my bloodwork done on the day of my current visit. This meant that not only was I required to pay an additional co-pay at a later date for a doctor's visit, but also for the lab visit. I am sure that my insurance company was charged for the additional doctor visit too. It also meant that I had to return at a later date. I understand that appointments are not required for blood work. I was being seen on the first visit for another reason, but I do not understand why I could not go ahead and have my lab work done that day. It was already overdue. The doctor was also impatient with me, very rude. However his assistant is always very helpful and professional, prompt. I also went once for a pap smear. I later found that the pap smear kit was out of date. I had to return at a later date to have that redone.

Dr Gardner is friendly and informative. It was very easy to get an appointment with him even as a new patient. The office staff was very kind and I highly recommend anyone in need of a primary care doctor to visit this office.
