When I met Dr. Gardner for the first time I noticed his personal appearance which was not impressive. Dr. Gardner looked like he had not shaved in two week and his hair was not well groomed and appeared to have item I can't described stuck up his nose.

I felt like this clinic was very thorough. They gave me a hearing test first. Dr. Gardner was very likeable, but he seemed to be impatient as I was telling him my symptoms. As a physician I suppose he knows specific terms to describe certain kinds of dizziness. I know one word---DIZZY. AND i keep my eyes closed when I'm having my dizzy spells, therefore I don't know if the room's spinning, things are moving, etc. He wanted to know these things and I realy couldn't tell him. Other than that, I felt like he spent an ample amount of time with me. I felt like he very knowledgable in his field . He had a very good bedside manner and very personable. I would recommend Dr. Gardner to anyone who needs a good ENT.

A doctor that brags and says that he is going to do things to help you and never does. Very arrogant and does not listen at all
