I have been a patient at Dr Gardner's practice for over 10 years, and I have been thrilled at the care of each provider and staff member. I love Dr Gardner and he has kept me safe and moving - with the goal to stay away from surgery as long as possible. Chandler has been my PA for ages too and always gives me a laugh - and more importantly, the honest answers to determine "next steps" in my care. I truly value my relationship with this practice and thank you to every one who makes up the team - including the nurses, Nick from PT, the front office staff and the schedulers on the phone. I can't recommend them any more highly.

Lee Health should be honored to have Dr Gardner and Chandler to have joined the Lee Health Team! I chose them several years ago b/c of the top notch care, compassion and expertise they provide! Hopefully all these pluses will continue to shine through and make more providers want to be like them!!!!!!

The entire staff was very friendly and caring. Laayla took vitals and gathered information, then had me wait a minute or two for the PA. Anne Bailey was also very friendly, evaluated my knees and discussed the results. Dr. Gardner came in shortly after Anne left. He examined my knees and went over some facts with me. We discussed my conditions overall and also future knee replacement possibilities. I left feeling well informed and confident that every had my best interest at heart. Excellent visit.

Entire group was very professional and made for q great experience.

Well, Dr Gardner was outstanding because he 1) he knew my knee problem would require physical therapy and not just a steroid injection which I came in for and 2) Dr Gardner has so much more knowledge than his assistants which he knowingly shares with the patient. I so appreciate the explanation/seriousness of my knee problem and the "best" care for it to keep me from coming back in the future.

Dr Gardner is an exceptional physician. Although he may be seeing you for your knees, he looks at your total health to address the problem you are having. This enables him to get you the treatment you need. He is so knowledgeable about orthopedics and beyond. I have been a patient of his for almost 20 years.

Chandler [last name] assessed the options I have in restoring my walking very well. No one else has! Dr. Gardner and my wife and I agreed on the appropriate next steps' and he arranged for the agreed injection immediately, so I would not have to drive back 45 minutes tomorrow.
