I've been so happy with my experience with Dr. Gardner. Before coming to see him I had major sciatic pain. Since becoming his patient, I've had very few flare ups and he's always been able to get them under control with an adjustment. I'm entirely grateful.

Dr Gardener has helped me with different pain issues over the years. Because of my discomfort with some chiropractic methods, I am happy he is able to do activator adjustments.

The office is a well oiled machine. They use text and email, which is a plus in my book. I like that Dr Gardner can unstick me. I have been to other chiropractors who were less physical. Get hit in the jaw with a soccer ball? He can fix that. Would recommend.

Dr. Gardner's understanding and intuition of how to work with the human body is so incredibly well rounded and he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each and every treatment. He combines different modes of treatment and has also provided nutritional supplements that support the conditions he's working on in my body. His patient care extends beyond the physical body to knowing how to relax the whole person with the creation of treatment rooms that are full of beautiful natural light, lovely colors, plants, and soothing music played during parts of the treatment. Celeste and Lucina work with patient intake and they are delightful to work with as well.

They willingly accommodate my schedule as well as setting up timely reminders for my appointments that are sent to me via text and email. I am slowly recovering from a fall that hurt my shoulder and arm and Dr. Gardner honors and respects the pace at which my body is healing. I look forward to every single visit with him, Celeste and Lucina! I have already recommended him to friends who might need chiropractic help.
