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.

The absolute kindest, caring doctor you can find.
On my first visit Dr. Gardner sat down with me and let me tell him all of my fears before he started talking. I had previously been told by another surgeon that I needed a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Gardner carefully reviewed all my records and assured me I didn't need a mastectomy at all. I needed a lumpectomy and the brand new at the time Intra Operative Radiation. As I write this it is several years later. My lumpectomy went beautifully and it is difficult to even see my scar. I had the Intra Operative Radiation successfully. Dr. Gardner or one of his staff sees me every 6 months when I am examined and an ultrasound is performed. They take no chances on another cancer sneaking up on me. Dr. Gardner arranges for my annual mammogram. I love Dr. Gardner, Paula, Minty, Cheryl and one other lovely lady whose name has slipped my mind. They all work together to make me feel safe and cared about. See you all soon.

I loved Dr Gardner and his staff. Very knowledgeable and professional concerning an issue I had been referred to them for. I was informed twice that the total price of the visit, including ultrasounds, was $250.00. Surprisingly, after I received the final bill, the cost of the ultrasound of each breast was $250.00, for a total of $500.00. I received no explanation. Also, their new billing system didn't break out a co-payment I paid, making it appear it wasn't paid. I was also told I needed an MRI and that I would need to make another appointment to go over the results with Dr Gardner. However, the radiologist went over the results with me which I found odd. When I went back to Dr. Gardner's office for my appointment to discuss the results the same day, (which I already knew), I was then informed I needed another ultra-sound during the appointment. Having had two in the last three weeks, I rejected, with Dr. approval, and was not charged for the follow up, which was very kind.

I always felt confident and trust in Dr Garners decisions. I am disturbed that the mammogram equipment has issues as described by friends who are under his care. Is this authentic?
