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.

Ignore any poor ratings. Dr. Gardner is a brilliant surgeon and has an abundant empathy for those he sees. He is absolutely one of the best neurosurgeons in this state and likely beyond. He takes his time with you and and speaks to all of your concerns.

Dr. Gardner is an exceptional physician, surgeon, and person. Anyone will find it difficult to find a better doctor. In my opinion, Dr. Gardner is an expert among experts in his field. He explains things to where you can understand them, and he makes sure you are comfortable with all procedures. I personally feel if not for doctor Gardner's care and expertise I would not be alive today. He is the best of the best! Thank you, Dr. Gardner, for always being there for me and my family.

Dr. GARDNER IS THE VERY BEST! He is very competent and explains everything down to the last detail. He has done cervical fusion on me replacing 2 vertebra and it turned out excellent. I just recently had lower back surgery in October 2018 and I'm not paralyzed! With any surgery you take risks but to call this gentleman incompetent because you didnt have the best outcome is absolutely rude. His office staff has always been great to me. I highly recommend him and his staff. J. Harley

Dr Gardner is an incompetent surgeon who should have his medical license revoked. Multiple patients paralyzed due to injuries caused during surgery. He has no empathy for injured patients who live in a wheelchair in diapers and in constant pain. He even denied a family request to have our loved one moved for a second opinion while in the hospital. Get that? Refused Avoid this surgeon at any cost. Do your content guidelines only accept glowing remarks? Sorry the truth is the truth,

Excellent. Wouldn't go anywhere else. He made the diagnosis, spent time explaining problem and treatment options. Caring, personal, excellent surgeon. Not quick to operate as many others have been.

NEVER EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MEDICAL OFFICE! While Dr. Gardner is excellent, his office is THE WORST I have ever dealt with. I am a returning patient. It has taken me over a month to attempt to schedule an appointment. The new patient scheduler almost never answers her phone and infrequently returns calls. I called at least 10 times before I ever got a response. Then, she is abrupt and rude. They lose referrals and yell at you on the phone! And you will wait for 2+ hours for your appointment

Dr. Gardner is awesome! He has performed several surgeries on me. I would trust him with anything. He always acts in my best interest and takes the time to explain things, and do what is best for me. His office staff isn't very friendly, and sometimes the wait time is long, but it's worth it. I would recommend Dr. Gardner to anyone.
