Dr. Gardner always takes the time to go over all my lab work and answers any questions or concerns I have. He asks if I have anything I have a question about. Dr. Gardner is a very kind and caring person and I feel he cares about my well-being. He is very encouraging about my efforts to maintain my good health.

This is the worst doctor/doctor's office in Columbia. They are rude. The staff was making fun of my illness in the background while I was on the phone with one of them. The doctor only cares about money, does not care about his patients. Is not interested in your well being. Him and the staff do not want to help you. Please do not go here!! Anywhere else is better then here

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Gardner. He is the only physician I've encountered in quite some time who actually listens and takes the time to answer any questions I might have. He is extremely easy to talk to, highly intelligent, and has a wonderful bedside manner.

I like the fact of how positive he is plus he only tells you the facts. He did not sugar coat what needed to be said. He was honest but yet still selective on what words he chose. He told me the pros and cons but again told the facts and what he thought he could do and what would work.
