Dr. Gardner has always been very knowledgable about the different problems I have had. She is also willing to go the extra mile in making sure that the treatments she gives or recommends (P.T.) is working the way it is intended and if not promptly changing course to find the best treatment for whatever may be impeding my health at that time. I am truly blessed to have found such a wonderful physician to look after my family and I.

Horrible. Spent an had a preemie baby. Had the doctor call to confirm appointment. Spent an hour waiting for my baby appointment for them to tell me they don't take preemie babies. I asked if I could just weigh him to make sure he is gaining some weight to buy me some time to get in with another doc and they refused to help me at all. End up taking my baby to the er to weigh him and even the er staff couldnt believe they Dr. Gardneroffice treated me so poorly. Especially since my other 2 children been going there for thelast 2 years. I will be finding another doc for all 3 of my kids and would highly recommend not going there.

After a recent move I was dreading finding a new primary care doctor. However, after my first visit to Dr. Gardner I was very pleased with her ability to be attentive and thorough without making me feel like a "subject". She quickly earned my trust and respect as a professional who is also personable. So glad to have found this doctor in my area. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a new doctor.

Worst ever! Every appt was a two hour wait. I even booked an 8:30am appt to have her WALK IN at 8:30am with another appt place ahead of me. Then when she does come in she spends about 5 mins with you then leaves. Never takes time to find out if something else wrong or anything. Never go back, changed docs!

Never going back. Seemed nice at first appointment, then later talked down to me like I was a little kid. I am an RN and have some knowledge about a medication I had been on for 10 years! Waited several times way over an hour, then she rushes in and tells me to come back every 2 weeks. Difficult to get an appointment.I have a new doctor who is both knowledgeable and respectful.

I love both doctors. Dr. Gardner correctly diagnosed me when several other doctors had not, resulting in my finally being prescribed the correct medicine and finding relief from pain. It is true that you end up waiting for an appointment but when it is your turn, both doctors will give you the time that you need. I have been in the office crying and very upset over what was going on and Dr. Gardner especially is very empathetic and definitely took quite a lot of time with me. I don't particularly care for the office staff - front office - and sometimes it is hard to get an appointment quickly. But I have found both doctors to be extremely smart in diagnosing problems, thorough in explaining what might be wrong, effects of medication, very empathetic to the pain I was having, and definitately willing to take the time needed to make sure I was walking out the door with a full understanding of what was happening, and any instructions or information I may need. I love them!

Dr. Gardner is very friendly, and listens. She is a great doctor, and I would recommend her to anyone. You get a complete check up, and she expaines everything in detail. There is some difficulty getting appointments, and you can expect a bit of a wait, but once she sees you, she makes you feel at home.

Never go see this Doctor. She got me hooked on Xanax for panic attacks;she kept increasing the dosage until the pharmacist finally told me that I was on way too high of a milgram and that it would be extemely difficult for me to get off. He was right; it took me almost one year to get off of the medication on my own.
