Very terse, seems like bad attitude, seems confrontational. But very open on his advise.

I appreciated Dr Gardocki's straightforward explanations of things. I'm very comfortable with his knowledge and explanation of the issues.

Worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met. Extremely arrogant and has no sympathy for his patients at all. While I believe he is a good surgeon, I am traumatized by the way I have been treated by him in each one of my visits.

I had some very complicated issues in my low back, the pain in my back and left leg was debilitating. Dr Gardocki used his skill and experience to fuse part of my spine and now I have my life back! In addition to his surgical skills, I appreciate the time he spent explaining things and answering all of my questions. I hope I never need another surgery on my spine, but if I do, I will definitely contact Dr Gardocki!

I have never been as disappointed today as I was at Campbell's Clinic. This doctor in no way represents the class and quality of the staff I have encountered over the last 2 years at the Clinic. I will never see him again and I hope you don't either unless you wanted to be treated like you are a worthless twig only to be operated on by a guy who thinks he is a god. I am mortified at his behavior and lack of class. I would never allow him to treat me or anyone I know.

Very uncaring and terse. I would not see him again if he were the only spine specialist in the world.
