Dr Gardiner is a special type of doctor. He takes time to listen to your concerns. He is always friendly and smiling. Glad he did my knee and is helping me hang on for a while on the other.

Saw Dr Gardiner in January for shot in my left knee. He replaced my right knee about 2 years ago. He has always listened to my questions and explains all that he does.

I have been going to Dr. Gardiner for many years now, he has scoped both of my knees, given shots in my left knee and now replaced that knee, and I have never been dissatisfied at any time.
