Could not be happier with my results from working with Dr. Gardner! I have had a torn meniscus for well over a year and have attempted other PT programs without much change. Dr. Gardner‘s one on one approach made sure that I was getting an excellent return on my time invested. He provided quick follow up to any questions I had between sessions and tailored my program to my specific needs and recovery goal. This was not a one size fits all program like so many others. I’m happy to report that I am back to running and doing life pain free! Thank you so much for coaching me to recovery from my injury!!
Bret Gardner was my physical therapist during a long 6+ month recovery from hip labrum repair surgery. He is a professional, knowledgeable and gifted Physical Therapist. He is well informed about the latest protocols and best practices, and is great about educating his patients on the recovery process. What really makes Bret stand out from other Physical Therapists I have worked with is his dedication to his patients. He took the time to get to know me and learn about my goals for recovery. I was an elite dancer who wanted to get back to dancing, and Bret took an interest and the time to tailor my recovery to getting back to what I truly love (dance). He offered lots of ideas to maintain fitness, maximize recovery, and otherwise do everything possible to safely resume dancing. Recovery is a challenging time not just physically, but also emotionally, and Bret was always supportive and motivating. Whenever I wanted to give up Bret was right there encouraging me through the entire recovery process. Bret listens carefully and he also promptly revises any at home/in person exercises until it is spot on. He is attentive to you while you are doing your exercises to make sure that you are doing it correctly and is encouraging throughout. Even after my recovery Bret has continued to be there for any questions or concerns that have come up after recovery. He has helped me come so far, and I am truly thankful for this. I would recommend Bret to anyone of any age or treatment scenario - he is extremely skilled, experienced, and overall an outstanding Physical Therapist.
Dr. Bret Gardner helped me tremendously after I had my ankle surgery. Bret was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He always took the time to listen to my concerns and educate me on the recovery process following my injury. Bret got me back to doing the activities I love like running, hiking, and swimming. Bret also helped me overcome my back pain more recently. Since I live in a different city now, he was flexible and accommodating to help me through telehealth services. Bret was excellent and made me feel supported even though he wasn’t physically with me. He was very creative in using things I had around my home to help me with my exercise program. I would recommend Bret to all my friends and family.
