Dr. Gardner has been my doctor since October, 2008, when I had an abnormal mammogram and a friend recommended him saying he was the best breast surgeon in Palm Beach County. I found that to be absolutely true. Unlike many breast surgeons, who once they cut and put you back together, refer you to an oncologist and are done with you, he and his staff have followed me ever since with regular ultrasounds and mammograms. After over 9 years being cancer free, a few weeks ago my annual mammogram revealed several micro calcifications which were not visible on the ultrasound, and had to be removed surgically since I had a mastectomy and reconstruction several years ago. This was very delicate surgery and once again everyone in the office went the extra yard to put my mind at ease and make things go smoothly. From Minty doing the markings and working with the Breast Center to get additional mammograms three more times, Patti getting my surgery scheduled on an expedited basis, and, of course, Dr. Gardner and his hands of gold. I have to also mention Paula Green, his nurse practitioner, who is always available to answer my questions, and knowing how nervous I was about the biopsy report, made the special effort to get the report as soon as it was available and call me immediately with the good news…everything benign. Everyone in the office is very caring, and treat all the patients as part of their family. Thank You!!!
