Eric Gardner, MD: Orthopedic Surgery - Loveland, Colorado

Jennifer Cade

I originally was with another orthopedic doctor. I had a horrible experience, so I needed a second opinion. I was then referred to Doctor Gardner and his PA Tyler Cardillo. They were both exceptional with me and my entire recovery. I had a double knee surgery. Before my surgery, I was always in pain, and felt like I would never get better. After my surgery, I feel like a new person! I have almost no pain in both knees!! (I'm getting better daily and had surgery a couple months ago so the only pain is the normal pain during healing) They were both very thorough with me about the procedures, and the surgery was complicated because of my injuries but Dr. Gardner did what needed to be done and I'm better than I have been in over a year and a half before I got injured. I was so scared to go to another doctor because of my experience with the first, but both Dr. Gardner and Tyler Cardillo made me feel so comfortable and took such good care of me. My life was changed for the better because of both of them and their amazing care.

I had three surgeries with Dr. Gardner and two were not needed, per the doctor I got a second opinion from. He tried telling me I needed a total knee replacement at 16 years old. He was very unprofessional and when I went in to get papers for a second opinion we were told it was their third one they were giving out that day.

Worst experience ever. Total knee on July 7th, 2021, I have employer insurance blue cross/blue shield. July 8th, 2021 Dr. Gardner’s PA tells me that they busted my femur during the total knee. I required more physical therapy from Mid July until September 10th, 2021 at three times a week. Talked with supposedly Dr. Gardner’s nurse and was lied to that the stitches in my femur were dissolvable; my physical therapy removed the imbedded stitches during therapy! Never received any calls from Dr. Gardner or Banner health to follow up on how I was doing. Every phone call to Gardner went through a huge call center in AZ that was staffed by nonmedical staff. I did receive a call from Banner Medical to set up a payment plan so patients or less important than getting the money. Surgery was done in Greeley CO Banner Facility staffed with nurses that are “Traveling” nurses with the attitude that I’m only here for weeks and I move on to another hospital. Never did see Dr. Gardner after July 7th, 2021. My other knee needs replaced and needless to say Dr. Gardner will not be doing my surgery. What a nightmare this surgery was

I have nothing but positive things to say! Dr. Gardner it’s very professional and nice. He did my surgery and it’s healing beautifully! His PA Tyler Cardillo has been very helpful and informative to me along this Recovery process.

Had a hip replacement. Best experience I've had with a doctor. Explained things in detail, i felt confident going to surgery. I knew I was in good hands.
