James Gardner, Jr. DO

Too young to be a cardiologist and deal with older patients who had heart attacks before. I was prescribed small dise Valium with baby aspirin daily as I have PTSD. Also had a heart attack 8 years ago. Had no problem with my main care, doctors and regular doctors in Pompano Beach Florida this new doctor even after he did an echocardiogram and I had a CAT scan and everything is fine. Will not prescribe my Valium ! So he'd rather me have a stroke or another heart attack. What are medical schools doing? Valium is a harmless drug. If you look it up it's less harmless than Tylenol but yet I went to an oral surgeon and Jupiter and they wanted to give me fentanyl to pull my tooth. I refuse so they gave me ketamine, which I didn't realize that the time was another bad drug. They will give you addicting hard-core poisonous drugs, but they won't prescribe a simple Valium that will save your life and a trip to the hospital, which will save the insurance company tons of money!!!

Dr. Gardner and his team are wonderful! They make you feel at ease and Dr. Gardner takes the time to listen and answer questions. I would never go anywhere else!

Great experience with Dr. Gardner and Staff. Will 100% be switching to his care for my heart health and future appointments.

Went to Dr. Gardner for a second opinion and he dismissed my symptoms. Said I was healthy and to push myself to workout. I followed my instincts and went for a third opinion. This time with a female cardiologist she suggested lab work, more scans, and Bam! I now know the reason for my heart issues. I don't understand why most male dictors often dismissed women's symptoms or attributed to anxiety. If you need a third or fourth opinion, do it. I'm just happy that I finally find out my issue and on the road to good health.

I was just sent over to dr gardner to check an abnormality on an ekg. The anesthesiologist postponed a surgery until I got a positive checkup from dr gardner. First dr gardner asked how i got here. Then he wrote down alchholism which surprised me. When I met with him my bp was running high. I had left bundle branch block which didn't appear to be a problem according to him. He's never mentioned it as being so after I went through the stress test. Its there and it held up the surgery but his job was to determine if I was stable. I'm stable as I thought I would be. One thing that has happened since I was injected with the blood dilation iv is I'm having very uncomfortable overheating and profuse sweating now 2 weeks after the test. That's not anything that could happen from the test according to dr gardner. I'm sure he's a great dr but not for me.
