Dr. Gardner was a blessing when i had my first hip replacement 10+ years ago. His office scheduled my appointment amazingly fast and the Doc really listened and cared. He had me fixed up in just a few days. Since then I've had a second hip, carpull tunnel surgery and am having knee replacement next week. His concern for his patients , bedside manor and efficient staff are second to none! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

I had been seeing a doctor with the other hospital/medical chain. I was to have surgery but since felt as if they were just too big for their britches...you're a number not a name, sign in at a machine not with a person, doctor is too busy to answer your email question this week but don't phone us... I went for a second opinion only to confirm surgery is needed but I'm not worried, Dr Gardner had the time and concern to meet me, talk, answer all my questions and I felt he listened. I wasn't just a person to be handed a packet of fancy papers and told when to call an automated recording giving me the time of my surgery. Humans are good to work with, Dr Gardner and his staff are kind humans.

I am 65 years old. I have seen many doctors in my life. Dr. Gardner has the best bed side manner by far of any doctor I have ever had. He is as fine a surgeon as I have ever had work on me.

I know Dr. Gardner was very busy, as I was one of 3 new patients at the time he saw me. I am sure he had many more that day. He was very informative and helpful. I did not feel rushed. I am very confident that he has the knowledge and skills to manage my care further.

I had Carpull Tunnel Release and Allner Nerve decompression surgery by Dr. Stuart Gardner. He did an excellent job, it fixed my problem, we had great communication between us before and after surgery. And, in my opinion, compared to the other bills I got from the hospital his charges were very reasonable to do the surgery. Thanks a bunch Doc Gardner, Jim Morrow
