OUR PATIENTS SAY

Some Kind Words From Our Patients

The Gardner Staff is phenomenal, from the PA’s, The Techs, to the Administrative Staff. They are courteous, respectful and knowledgeable and they deserve recognition!
RICHARD K.
Everyone associated with Gardner Orthopedics is the best! My hip replacement went smoothly & PT is ongoing due to a concerning problem with numbness & drop foot. However, that is a problem to be solved in the future. I would highly recommend Gardner Orthopedics as we have been with Dr. Gardner for 15 yrs. & he, and his staff are top-notch in the medical field.
NANNETTE K.
I had the Coolief procedure done in preparation for knee surgery. I was a little nervous going in, but the staff is wonderful and Shannon (PA) was doing the procedure, so I knew I was in good hands. Every step was explained along the way and she answered any questions that I had. We even had some laughs, as well! I’m pleased with the results so far! Dr. Gardner’s staff is the best!
