Dr M. Gardner did not thoroughly treat my father and misdiagnosed his condition . He presented to her office with neck /chest and shoulder pain. She never even listen to his heart while he was in her office. She noted he was having nerve pain and prescribed muscle relaxers blood pressure meds and sent him home. He did not feel any better the next day and he called back. The Dr. Did not call him back and we called again. Finally they noted he would have to wait 2-3 weeks for the pain to subside and again said it was just nerve pain. Thank God we did not listen to her "professional" opnion and took him to the ER at St Luke's. He ended up having 3 stints put into his heart becasue of blockages and was moments away from having the BIG heart attack. He isnt out of the woods yet but had we not followed our gut he wouldnt be here with us now. If you want your loved one to get the best care and treatment please do not see Dr Michelle Gardner.

Dr Michelle Gardner has been my doc for a few years and is now also my mothers dr. I've been very happy with her. She has calmly handled anything I've come in with and works with me to keep my bp under control.That she is a Christian is also a huge plus for me!

I asked her about my recent CT scan (done by another doctor) showing severe arthlersclorosis (clogging of the veins & arteries) & what we could do about it. Her reply was well, we can't roto-rooter that out. I was horrified because I know stints are an option. How horrible!She is supposed to take blood tests for me every month due to a health condition, but stopped. It was not until my insurance company contacted her that she started appointing me for the blood tests again. She's prescribed medication for me that were contraindicated for another medication I take - something I found out by checking it on the Internet. I've found her to be uninformed and uncaring. I won't list all of my complaints but find another doctor. I am swithching this week.
