From the reviews

An amazing doctor, he exudes a great deal of confidence with a very calming and caring bedside manner. My experience as a breast cancer survivor, needing reconstruction etc would have been much different if I didn’t have Dr Gardner and his amazing staff (Joanne, Jenn, Danielle) to guide me.

★★★★★ — Diana, Aug 2021

I could not have asked for a better experience with Dr. Gardner, his staff, and the surgical center. Dr. Gardner took his time to really listen and answer questions to ensure I chose an outcome that would fit my lifestyle as well as the aesthetics I was looking for.

★★★★★ — Christina, Sep 2022

Having seen the care directed to my family member and very close friends, that were referred to him, I can assure that is one of the most ethical and caring doctors that a patient can ever encounter.

★★★★★ — Rejane, Oct 2019

Dr. Gardner was a referral for my breast reduction surgery. I'm amazed how great everything looks and how I now feel. The staff was so amazing everytime I went for a check up. Dr. James was kind and answered my every question. I am very grateful to him and his amazing staff. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️❤️

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
