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.

Excellent Orthopedic Physician
Dr Gardner tries everything before rushing you into surgery. He is very patient and will work with you. I have been seeing him since 2016 and have been putting off TKR, I went thru multiple injections which have worked up until now. I will be having a TKR in the next several weeks but would always recommend seeing him!

No one in life gets "excellent", if that was the case he or she would be the almighty. Dr. Gardner is conservative in regards to his treatments. Will go down all avenues before " the inevitable." The 5* goes to the man above, who lets this physician practice with good results.

Simply the best.I truly believe he saved my leg and possibly my life.After knee replacement surgery I fell and reopened my knee.It had to be completely redone with a high risk of infection.This man showed up at midnight on a Friday night to redo the surgery and kept a very close eye on my recovery. He really cares about his patients.

Dr. Gardner treated my bad knee with various means in 2018, trying to avoid having total knee replacement. I did end up having TKR in early Jan 2019. I totally forget the knee has been operated on. It feels great. Great movement. Thank you Dr. Gardner! He, his nurses and office staff are great!

1st visit - Everyone is very nice and don't get the feeling of being "herded" thru the process like some others local orthopedic Drs. do.

Offers several treatment options in addition to surgery. Focus is on the patient. Only one instance of overly long wait & the doctor himself apologized.
