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.

We have had a very bad experience with Dr. Gardner
I have been my mother’s primary caregiver. She experiences chronic UTI’s. When she has a UTI and depending on the severity, they can be debilitating. Since she is 96 and mildly senile it is difficult to collect a urine sample from her. Her symptoms are the same every time she has a UTI and I recognize them. Yet every time, I get an argument from Dr. Gardner when asking her to write a prescription for the UTI. She is recovering from a UTI now because after arguing with Dr. Gardner she wrote the prescription for an antibiotic. Only for five days when she has had such a serious UTI. Her argument is that as she said my mother is down to only one antibiotic she can take. We found out this past summer that she was wrong about that. We found out during an emergency room visit. They performed a test to ascertain which antibiotics will still work ion my mother for infections. They came up with at least six that will still work. She is fine with letting my mother suffer with severe symptoms!
