Dr Gardner has always been attentive to my health. Understands my health problems and issues. Always gives me good advice. Cares about me and seldom have I ever went away unhappy about my care. I think Dr Gardner is the best pcp I've been to in the past 15 years.

I was scheduled for a procedure at the hospital and the nurse assistant/scheduler did not provide me with any written instructions. It was good that I had had it before. The instructions were sent by mail but arrived too late. I could have gone to the office, but I was taking care of appointments.

He's super. When he leaves, or if he does, I'll probably go too, till then he's the guy I'll see.

I have always had great service and care from my physician. He always listens to me and we talk about it from there. I would not change doctors unless I was forced to. He is the best.
