Dr. Gardocki always takes the time to listen to my problems/concerns. I never feel rushed by him.

Spent maybe 10 minutes. Very arrogant and rude. Did not want to hear any questions.

My experience was excellent. Dr Gardocki is an exceptional surgeon. I went In with a high pain level, and came out significantly improved. I'm now two weeks out and have no pain, weakness, or tingling at all!

Dr. Gardocki enter the exam room introduce himself and his assistant. Not once did he shake my hand or sanitizer his when he came in. He was asking me questions about my health and the pain I was in. He could not explain my symptoms clearly, he act like I was the doctor. He did not appear very friendly or explaining the symptoms of the cause of my problems, I felt like he thought I was fabricating them

Dr. G is a no bs doctor. He readily got to 1 of my problems but saw other problems and took immediate care (ex-ray) of them. He was extremely honest referring me on to another Dr. Who is more familiar with the procedures I need. I truly respect him.
