About Dr. Gardner

I specialize in Vascular Surgery because I am driven by a lifelong passion for helping others. From an early age, I harbored an unwavering desire to become a doctor, and I felt like becoming a surgeon would allow me to make the greatest impact. With years of experience in vascular surgery, I am privileged to offer an extraordinary level of care, having witnessed remarkable advancements from the era “open” vascular surgery to today’s minimally invasive techniques. I prioritize the unique needs of each patient, recognizing that medicine is far from one-size-fits-all. While embracing innovation is crucial, understanding the foundations of traditional approaches is equally important.

My little something extra

I teach Sunday school at my local Baptist Church, nurturing the spiritual growth of our community.

The provider, that way you're going to meet, is very polite and everything. But we just got tied up on the medication. My insurance won't cover that medication because they said they don't use that kind of stuff. So I've been trying to call my provider to tell her about it. But every time I get a voicemail, they say, hold on, hold on. And when I hold on, I still don't be doing nothing. So I'm not giving up. I'm quite sure she'll give me something to take. But I really regret when she gives it to me because I'm in so much pain. I was told by one of the members of the insurance company to tell her, try something else.
