Testimonials

  • Dr. Gardner was our family pediatrician for many years for our three children. She is now helping us navigate the mental health for our children including ADHD, depression, anxiety, and eating issues. We are so grateful for her kind and attentive care, knowledge and expertise, timely and conscientious communication, and gentle and trustworthy bedside manner. We feel very lucky to have her caring for our children and recommend her enthusiastically.

  • Dr. Gardner is kind and friendly, putting both parents and children at ease. She listens completely to your concerns, taking in all the information before responding. When she has any doubt, she is comfortable seeking more information and is well connected to other specialists. Her genuine care for patients radiates from her demeanor, allowing kids to open up to her. If possible, I would choose to have her as my doctor as well.

  • We are so grateful Dr. Gardner is our daughter’s doctor! She has been our trusted pediatrician for many years and now she is helping our teen navigate her anxiety and ADHD at Poppy. She is always caring, respectful, and knowledgeable. She never rushes appointments and now with her Poppy Pediatric Mental Health Practice, she is very involved and easily available for questions and concerns. I can’t imagine trying to navigate these issues without her! Our daughter was really struggling and once we transitioned over to the Poppy practice, Dr. Gardner knew exactly what to do and got us started right away. It was like a miracle; we had our happy, less stressed child back and she has been making amazing progress ever since. If you have a child who needs this care, do not hesitate to meet with Dr. Gardner. She is the absolute BEST; my daughter and I have absolute trust in Dr. Gardner and her course of treatment.

  • We adore Dr. Gardner and wish that she would treat adults! She listens and cares, is friendly, and is sweet with our toddler. She put in extra effort to make sure our child gets the care she needs, going so far as to connect with other doctors and services she recommends to make sure we get our needs met promptly.

  • I am so happy to take my kids here to see Dr. Gardner. She is down to earth, understanding, and thorough when she examines my kids (I have two). You can tell right away she's passionate about children and loves what she does. She treats each child like they are so precious and special and it's so wonderful to see that interaction. She cares about the parents and listened to our concerns attentively. Her professionalism and compassion put our minds at ease, and she was playful with the little ones. Our appointment didn't seem rushed at all. My son had been seeing another doctor elsewhere, and while we didn't have a problem with him, he was missing that extra sparkle that Dr. Gardner has. We have no regrets switching his care to Dr. Gardner.

  • Um can we talk about how amazing Dr. Gardner is for a minute? The woman is a bottle of sunshine. Not only is she one of the sweetest and happiest people I've ever met in my entire life, she is wicked smart. I've had doctors ignore my concerns (which later were found to be valid), tell me to stop breastfeeding (I breastfed all of my kids for 2 years each), and one time I had one misdiagnose the measles. Not. Gardner. Ever. She listens and if I'm wrong- she gives a detailed and sweet answer of why it can't be this or that. She's never dismissed my questions or worries. She's never made a mistake - with my kids- but if she did- it would be a true accident and not the result of pride or neglect. She has the utmost respect for the parent and the child and she is just plain delightful. I've just never met anyone like her.

She listens well and asks important questions not only to the parents but to the children so they have a voice! She is gentle and kind. My children love seeing her even if they know shots are imminent. We absolutely adore her!
