Aaron Gardiner's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Gardner should not be a doctor. I had a shoulder injury at work and he states I had a torn labrum. Dr. Gardner then replied I may have one as well. He then offered me a cortisone shot and told me I’d be able to go back to work. Then suggested a possible frozen shoulder. I went for a second opinion and the doctor immediately stated I did NOT have a frozen shoulder and actually laughed at Dr. Gardner’s diagnosis. He then took his own images and stated I had a partially torn rotator cuff as well as a torn posterior and anterior labrum as well as a partially torn bicep. I had surgery and am back to 100 % no thanks to Dr. Gardner. Stay clear of this so called doctor

Rotator Cuff and Tendonisis. Excellent Bedside manner. Very informational, everything was explained. Follow up could not have been better. 100% better than before. Skilled surgeon. His knowledge and talent is unsurpassed. His staff is second to none.

I am 5 days post op after meniscus surgery with Dr. Gardiner. I have mininal discomfort, walking without cruthces on day 3 and had the best post op appointment today as I got to view all the pictures of my knee. Dr Gardiner explained every aspect of the procedure while viewing the pictures. He explained what the next few months will look like and the steps I need to take for long term success. I highly recommend Dr. Gardiner and NWOA too. The surgery center was top knotch as well with great care from all the nurses, doctors and patient assistants. 5 plus rating from me!!

Dr Gardiner performed a meniscus repair procedure and I’m now 10 days post op with no pain. Walking everyday and riding my bike. - Efficient and friendly office staff, - Good communications, including post op - Off-site surgical facility was 1st class - Surgical center staff caring and efficient - Surgery painless I would recommend Dr. Gardiner without hesitation! Update 12/8/20: Ten months out from my knee surgery and 1,200 miles logged on my bike - I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! I’m so glad that I had this done and that I was fortunate to have the expertise of Dr. Gardiner!! Thanks Doc!

Uncaring.... arrogant.

Dr Gardiner is an excellent surgeon and a kind and caring doctor. I was given all the time I needed to have my questions answered. He is conservative recommending surgery. I was pain free the second day and back to my normal athletic routine in 3 weeks.

Dr Gardiner is the most highly skilled, kindest surgeon you will ever find. He gives all the time you need to explain everything, he listens carefully, is very conservative about recommending surgery, but if you need it then expect to be fixed and healed faster than you expected. I had my knee surgery one month ago. I was pain free on the second day and back to my normal sports routine in 3 weeks. He is a superb surgeon. Newton Wellesley hospital and staff are excellent.

Dr Gardiner is an excellent surgeon. I had knee surgery 1 month ago and can do all my spirts now. He is kind, caring and takes all the time you need to explain everything.

This is the worst doctor ever! He does not listen and rushed through the exam. He told me nothing was wrong and pain would go away. A month later, I saw another doctor who listened, did a good check and ordered an MRI. I have a serious neck injury that now requires surgery. Had it be diagnosed properly and treated correctly by Dr. Gardiner, I could have avoided surgery. He is awful.

Dr. Gardner would ask a question, then interrupt. He diagnosed me as fine. His total examination was under one minute. I went to another doctor who ordered an MRI that showed Myelopathy and a severely compressed nerve. Worst doctor that I have ever seen. Considering filing malpractice against him.
