Our Philosophy of Care
We believe the most important aspects of providing quality care are listening to the needs of our patients and involving the patient in the treatment plan. We like to take the time to educate patients and present treatment options.
We develop a dialogue, through which our patients understand the diagnostic process, their own unique problem, their treatment choices, and the recovery process. Patients help to guide and direct the diagnostic and treatment activities.
When many people consider visiting an orthopaedic surgeon, their first thought is “Oh, I don't want (or need) surgery.”. They may be right.
When you come to see Dr. Gardner as your orthopaedic surgeon, surgery is not your only option. Sometimes, through rehabilitation and available prescriptions, your injury may be healed. If you do require surgery, we'll keep you informed of why surgery is required, what will be done in the surgery, and what to expect as an eventual outcome after surgery.
Your health and quality of orthopaedic care are our top priorities. We look forward to serving you and your family and appreciate your choosing Southwest Virginia Orthopedics & Joint Specialists for your healthcare needs.
