Education
Board Certification

Continuing Education and Awards
What’s most rewarding to me about plastic surgery is to see a patient come in with a particular problem or issue that they want to correct and then going through the process and then of course the process of healing but then seeing the end result and seeing the satisfaction that they have when they’ve met that goal of improving themselves. It was my third year of medical school when I decided I wanted to be a plastic surgeon. The very first surgery I saw was a cleft lip repair by a plastic surgeon and I knew at that moment that that’s what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Even though I spent the rest of medical school really enjoying all the different specialties, I was always drawn back to plastic surgery. In fact, I spent a year going on medical missions with Operation Smile to help repair cleft lips in kids.

Highlighted Patient Testimonial
My Neck Lift & Facial Fat Transfer Journey
I wanted my double chin and jowls gone, yet I wanted a refreshed look, not a different one. I spent a long time researching doctors. I knew Dr. Gardner wants to help you look younger, not different. Surgery prep was so easy. Nicole was wonderful, and I met Crystsl and Danielle, both of whom would be in surgery. Dr. Gardner came in and marked my face. He was as kind as ever. Vesna was my anesthetist and reviewed everything. And then… I woke up. When I came out of surgery, my head and chin were wrapped up, and I had drain tubes on either side of my neck. I opted to stay in their facility until the next morning. Eileen took care of me for the day and Beth took care of me overnight. Both were kind and attentive. I highly recommend taking advantage of that 24 hour care. It took stress off my husband. Of course, if you have a more comfortable recliner at home, and a husband willing to wait on you, take advantage of that, too.
Day 2 – going home
It feels like a steel collar wrapped around my neck. Pain is uncomfortable, but bearable. It definitely gets more sore after talking or chewing. Almost like my neck is yelling “shut up and let me rest.” Lovely bruising along my neck. I was warned that bruising will worsen before it gets better. Doc gave me arnica pills to be taken for next 7 days.
Day 3 – couch potato
Okey, more like recliner potato. Muscle relaxers are my friend. They keep the neck muscles at rest. Don’t skip them; no matter how much you think you are relaxing on your own, your neck will constantly tighten and release… and eventually throbbing commences. The relaxers are a life saver. If I overdo it, I take a pain pill. Stay ahead of it. I’m a motor mouth. So I’m learning moderation. Or trying to.
Day 4 – semi channel surfing
It’s hard to relax this long. I’m forcing myself because I know overdoing it will exacerbate swelling. Despite sitting and resting, swelling is increasing. The lines in my face are disappearing. Which normally we women would celebrate, but I’m kind of getting a very fluffy look about the face… and the body! No one told me I’d be retaining water (all over!) while my body goes into repair mode.
Day 5 – multicolored
Ah the bruising! The color yellow is flattering to a select few people. I am not one of them. I’m also seeing more blue/purple showing up on my face. My neck is looking less purple and more yellow. Marionette lines are showing more bruising. Also a couple spots on my chin. I’ve accepted it’s going to get worse before better. I’m following instructions, but I’m still looking like a puffer fish. On the plus side, while my neck still feels tight, it’s not painful. Muscle relaxers and pain pills are no longer needed. Yay me!
Update: I took a muscle relaxer. Note to self: no chewy foods yet. Ow.
Day 6
My son stopped by and was surprised I didn’t look worse. The feeling of tightness and swollen ears apparently isn’t as visible to others as it feels like to me. My neck is a brighter yellow. And my cheek looks like it’s trying hard to bruise, so the next few days will tell. Pain is minimal; just the ears randomly smarting which Tylenol helps.

Onto day 7 now. Feeling better! I’ll add another picture later. I’m posting this lengthy review because when I was researching what to expect, I couldn’t find detailed information on daily recovery. Hence, my wordiness. And my recovery is ongoing, so updates will continue as I progress.
Updated on 27 Aug 2024:
I think from here on out, I will post every two or three days. No pain, swelling and bruising not to bad right now. Amazing to me that surgery was last Wednesday, and here it is Tuesday, not even a full week and I’m feeling so good! Staples coming out in a couple hours. I’m even having company for dinner. Nope, I’m not cooking (they are bringing it in!) since I’m still taking it easy.
Updated on 3 Sep 2024:
Whew, nice feeling. I had regular sutures because my body doesn’t do dissolvable stitches. Still some swelling. But feeling like I can go out of the house now without stitches hanging under my chin. Lisa is Dr. Gardeners assistant and she is wonderful!
Updated on 4 Sep 2024:
Feeling so good! And so pleased with look of things even though I still have some swelling. (I’m posting again my before photo to see the change in my neck, chin and jowls in just two weeks post-op.)) Can’t recommend Dr. Gardener enough! I had to wait 5 1/2 months for an opening with Dr. Gardener, and I’m so glad I was patient and waited. Worth the wait and worth the cost. I’ll keep updating as I finish healing.
Note: Kudos to Zoey at the front desk. Always a happy and friendly presence each time I’m at Naples Plastic Surgery!
Updated on 11 Sep 2024:
Feeling so good! Most swelling is gone; just a bit of puffiness randomly. I found a couple of stitches inside the edge of my ear. Lisa did tell me when she removed my stitches that she would take out whatever ones were ready. I have my 3-week post-op appointment tomorrow so will get the last couple out. Wow, I know they say that it takes six months for your final look, but I’m tickled at three weeks. Not sure yet how the fat transfer will finalize since some cells die, but the “lines” of fat have dissipated and it’s looking very natural.
Updated on 18 Sep 2024:
I am feeling so good! My picture is a little blurry, (I am bad at selfies). No bruises, no swelling other than a bit under my chin. Doing massages now to work it out. I still feel a little tightness on the sides of my face. In the beginning, that feeling of a collar around my neck was very distracting. The slight tightness now doesn’t even phase me as I go about my days. I am 60 years old (as my silver hair loudly announces) and what thrills me the most is seeing pictures of me holding my granddaughter, and none of them have hanging cheeks and wrinkled up multi-chins. I know 6 months is the “real” final outcome, but so happy even now. If I haven’t said it enough, Dr. Gardner is amazing.

Phenomenal!
Best plastic surgeons office in Naples. I wouldn’t trust anyone other than Dr. Gardner and is staff. No matter if it’s for a large procedure or a quick office visit they are phenomenal!!
Wonderful and Talented
I am 3 months out from my 4th surgery with Dr. Gardner and if I didn’t think he was the most wonderful and talented plastic surgeon I wouldn’t have come back time after time. In the fall of 2017 he did both my arms to get rid of my “wings”. Both arms were done at the same time and it turned out fantastic. 3 months later he did a tummy tuck. This was not just a nip and tuck….I had a “roll” he removed and again I could not have asked for a better outcome. After a few months, we did a mini face life. This was done without the “knock you out anesthesia”, just some medication which made me not care what was going on. Well that lead to the surgery I am currently recovering from which was a thigh lift. Now everything I have read about thigh lifts say it is very painful as it effects everything you do. Well I am here to say that it was not painful…I only took 3 pain pills after this surgery and again he did both legs at the same time. Dr. Gardner’s staff are the greatest people to work with. They are always there to answer any questions or just to give you the reassurance you need just going through the process. I would recommend Dr. Gardner for anyone who is looking for a wonderfully skilled surgeon who treats every person who comes to his office as if he or she are the only patient he has. He and his staff have truly made my plastic surgery journey a successful and pleasant one.
Everyone Says “Dr. G is the best”
Dr Gardner did an outstanding job on my breast augmentation. He really took the time to find out what look I wanted. All of the other consults I went on the MD tried to sell me on the biggest size while Dr. Gardner suggested a size smaller knowing I wanted a more modest look. His work is beautiful and I look great. He and his staff have been great to me during my postoperative visits. I now know why everyone says Dr. G is the best…
Positive Results!
Dr. Gardner performed fat injections in my face around my mouth and the folds alongside of my face. I have allergic reactions to soft tissue fillers. It takes a longer time for the fat injections to take hold but after 7 days I have no bruising and minimal swelling. I look forward to the positive results I am sure to have.
Best of the Best!
I was headed to Atlanta to a well known plastic surgeon when COVID hit. Deciding to stay closer to home, I started looking for a highly-qualified, highly rated plastic surgeon in my own backyard of SWFL. With my husband’s help (he’s a retired doctor) I found Dr. Gardner in Naples, FL. Wow! Our due diligence paid off as I found the best of the best! Our first meeting assured me that he was the one I was going to trust with my face and body. He has a very calm, caring, competent demeanor and did not push any procedure on me. He explained the procedures in layman’s terms and answered all of my and my husband’s questions. After having several procedures done with Dr. Gardner, I can attest that he is a perfectionist, as he exceeded my result expectations! His staff is extremely caring and efficient. I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to Dr. Gardner.

I highly recommend Dr. Gardner and if I need anything else I will definitely visit him again!!!

Additionally, Dr. Gardner’s smile and witty sense of humor – along with his “down-to-earth” demeanor put my husband and me at east after our first meeting. I am delighted with my breast augmentation.

Dear Dr. Gardner,
I cannot thank you enough for the amazing work you did. Its been 2 ½ months and its healing well- you’ll see it in December. Clothes fit so much better and the new look is very natural. That takes a lot of skill and talent and makes me very fortunate to have been your patient. I also want you to know how much your patience and very humble attitude are appreciated. The time you took at explain it all pre and post-op in a calm and non-rushed manner was very important to me. I know you have a very busy schedule, so this is particularly noteworthy. In addition, the kindness and efficiency of your entire staff are a testament to how well you have organized and run your practice.

Truly Exceptional
Shortly after I retired I decided to reward myself by having plastic surgery in order to feel more youthful and to be more active in retirement. After researching many different plastic surgeons and reading lots of reviews I decided to choose Dr. Gardner and his team to trust with my procedures. When I first met Dr. Gardner and his nurse Lisa I was so impressed with their kindness. Dr. Gardner was upfront with what to expect with the procedures and his staff answered all my questions making me feel confidant I had made the right decision in choosing this team. Brittany the office manager was amazing to work with from scheduling the procedures to answering questions. Nurse Audrey was wonderful answering all my questions and concerns prior to each surgery and made going into each surgery not as intimidating. She reassured me that everything was going to be ok. The first procedure I had was a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and lower eye Blepharoplasty. Three months later I had a breast lift. I am so pleased with the outcome of these procedures. They came out better than I ever imagined they would. I feel like I have the body of my youth and could not be happier! Every visit with Dr. Gardner and his wonderful staff has been great! I am so happy that I choose to have my procedures performed by Dr. Gardner and his medical team! They are truly exceptional in their field!
A Big Moment.
I just had to tell you that I am still SO HAPPY with this facelift!!! I was showing someone my before picture today and just had the desire to tell you again how pleased I am. It’s been a year and 3 months.
You are amazing both in your technical skills and your people skills. This summer I finally told my mother I had the facelift and she praised you up and down. That was a big moment.
Thank you – thank you – thank you!!!!!!
Very Confident
Very pleased thus far, and feel very confident that Dr. Gardner will be able to do a fantastic job on my tummy tuck. I’m excited and looking forward to the procedure.
Excellent!
Dr Gardner and his staff are excellent! They made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. My results are better than I had imagined!
Incredible & Caring
The entire staff from reception to care delivery and coordination is incredible and caring. Dr. Gardner is truly motivated to achieve an optimal (honest expectation) result far beyond just invoicing the client which is typical of peer groups in the area. I am so glad I waited to be seen by him because I am confident it allowed him to take the proper time with my case and would highly recommend his practice!
Incredibly Talented Surgeon
Dr. Gardner is an incredibly talented surgeon. His staff is also very helpful. I am beyond pleased and my only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner.
Beautiful Job
Dr. Gardner, I can’t thank you enough for being so kind to me. You did a beautiful job on my surgery.
Thank you very much.
Great Doctor!
I interviewed several Plastic Surgeons in the Naples area and selected Dr Gardner. His bedside manners are as great as his work! He is very down to earth, genuinely takes interest in what you have to say and he did not rush me thru any of my appointments. my BA surgery was in Feb 2014 and i am extremely pleased. The stitches are flat, and healed perfectly. The breast size is exactly what i discussed with him. I would highly recommend him! In fact, i will be returning for a followup visit soon and will discuss other surgeries with him. Great Doctor!!!
Never Felt So At Ease
I have never felt so at ease with a doctor as I did with Dr. Gardner.
From Stressful to Pleasant
They turned a rather stressful situation into a pleasant one for myself. I would be more than happy to recommend this office to friends and colleagues of mine.
Never Felt So Comfortable
I have never felt so comfortable with a visit to the doctor as I had with Dr. Gardner.
Will be a Repeat Patient
Dr. Gardner and his staff are all excellent in every way in my opinion. I will definitely recommend him to anyone without reservation and will be a repeat patient for any of my needs. Thank you!
Extremely Pleased
I was extremely pleased with my results and have recommended Dr. Gardner to several friends who plan on having surgeries there.
Highly Recommend
It seems redundant to add another glowing review with all the others here. His patients are obviously pleased, as am I. My neck lift has made a significant difference in my profile, yet I don’t look like I’ve had surgery. The staff are always smiling and kind. Read reviews of other doctors and you’ll see not everyone has a perfect score with no complaints. I highly recommend Dr. Gardner.
Deep Appreciation
Dear Doctor Gardner,
There are no words, or amount of money, that can express my deep appreciation for what you have given me. You have made what I had always thought was an impossible dream finally come true. I now feel good about my appearance, something I haven’t felt since I was a young girl. I owe it all to you. You and your staff were absolutely wonderful to me. Thank You, isn’t enough! Thank you, Dr. Gardner, I will never forget what you have done for me.
Remarkably Superb!
Loved my Experience
I loved my experience, I was hesitant on getting any procedure done and he made me feel very comfortable and now I’m even more excited!
Caring Physician
Dr. Gardner is one of a kind. I’ve never met a more compassionate and caring physician, and his work is amazing. He makes me look very natural and rejuvenated. I will soon be moving from Naples and regret I will not be able to continue seeing Dr. Gardner. I will certainly miss him and his great staff!
Exceptional Service Providers!
Wonderful Job!
Dr Gardner did a wonderful job. I look like my self but without the sagging lower face
Beautiful Work!
Dr Gardner and his staff are just wonderful! The results of his surgery are far better than I could’ve imagined, and I’m so thankful my dermatologist recommended him. I haven’t felt this good about my appearance in a very long time! The office staff are kind, and helpful. I’ve never had to wait to see the Dr for more than a few minutes. When I had a concern, they got me in to see Dr Gardner after a surgery, so I was able to relax, knowing everything was just fine. I have already recommended Dr Gardner to several friends, and they’re looking forward to seeing him. He’s a super Dr. and next time I need help, I know I can count on him to do beautiful work! Thank you Dr Gardner!!!
Best-in-Class
Dr. Paul Gardner and his medical team are a best-in-class plastic surgery provider validated by my exemplary results!

Staff Friendliness
Dr. Gardner & Staff,
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your staff and their friendliness. I felt very welcome in your office from the start. I couldn’t be more happy with the out come. I know I was a challenge.
Comfortable Discussing Needs
Dr. Gardner made me feel very comfortable in discussing my cosmetic needs and I appreciated his candor regarding same.
Approachable & Professional
Dr. Gardner was very warm, approachable, and professional. When discussing my issues I felt like my concerns became his concerns. I felt respected. He educated me, comforted me, and established a professional rapport. I will certainly be a returning patient.
Answered All My Questions
I consulted with Gardner Plastic Surgery after having my second child for some abdominal work. He came highly recommended by several people. He made me feel comfortable from the start. He spent a lot of time with me during the consultation process going over the procedure, realistic expectations, and the recovery. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel very comfortable with my decision to move forward with the surgery.
Helpful and Kind
I went to an appointment there, I felt very happy at the appointment, the doctor’s customer service receptionist is very helpful and kind, she helps me a lot, Dr. Gardner is a wonderful doctor, he was very patient with me, consulting me, he treated me as if He had known me for a long time and he was kind. In the end, I was happy returning home.
Total Confidence
I have no issues or concerns. The experience was easy and served to adequately answer all my questions fully. I am looking forward to setting a date for surgery as I have total confidence in Dr. Gardner and his staff.
I Look Forward…
Dr. Gardner was very professional, and explained all procedures in detail. I look forward to seeing the results of my surgery.
Outstanding!
My experience with Dr. Gardner and his staff was outstanding! For a few years I had been unhappy with the sagging skin along my jawline and on my neck, so I started researching surgical possibilities. I had used fillers and tried all kinds of treatments but none of them produced great results. Getting a consultation was easy and I was impressed by Dr. Gardner’s ability to assess exactly what I did and did not want to see: he said right away I would not have the “pulled,” unnatural look after my mini face lift, which is what I was worried about. My fears were assuaged, as I worried about putting my faith in the hands of a person who did not know me. But the Doctor’s easy-going manner, perceptiveness, and communication reassured me completely. Dr. Gardner and his staff have my best recommendations! Those movie stars who look unnatural (i.e. Meg Ryan, Mickey Rourke, etc.) and whose face lifts did not go as predicted should see Dr. Gardner! It’s never too late!
Kind and Caring
Dr Gardner and his staff treated my like family from my first consultation to after care visits. Never waited in the waiting room for more than a few minutes and always felt like I was the only patient there. They are all so kind and caring. I highly recommend Dr Gardner.

Dr.Gardner best bedside manner out there as well as explained everything clearly and in layman’s terms highly recommend him.
Changed my life forever
Dr. G is on a short list of people who have literally changed my life forever. I actually have a card with a hand written note to give him as an extra personal thank you.
Fantastic Experience
Fantastic experience with all the staff! I was met by Amy, then shown to a room where I met dr Gardner.. who I knew from the start would be my surgeon, he was professional and yet down to earth, looked at my body and just knew what I wanted before I even said it! He met with me twice so that I was absolutely sure of what I was doing. He reassured all my concerns. Lisa his nurse was also amazing, she put me at ease and was highly professional. A few days Pre-op I met Andrea who spent over an hour going through every detail.. preparing me for what would happen how I would feel.. I then saw dr Gardner again who once again made me feel special and just so safe. Day of surgery I met Nicole the nurse who took care of me before the surgery and in recovery, again a wonderfully warm professional person who went above and beyond! My biggest fear was the anesthesia but the anesthesiologist was wonderful, explained everything to me and reassured me I would be drifting off into a comfortable sleep. Post op day 1 I went back for a check up saw dr Gardner and Lisa who calmed me and constantly reassured me that I’ve got this!! Dr Gardner informed me that a procedure I’d had done 21 years previously hadn’t been all I’d thought it had been and he corrected it! What can I say amazing Dr, nurses, staff and Brittany the office manager goes above and beyond. I’m only 3 days post op but I’m sure once I’m 3 months I will be ecstatic with my results! Thank you Dr Gardner and staff for taking such care and making me feel extra special
Best Overall in Every Way!!
Simply Masterful
Dr. Gardner is simply masterful and a kind soul. He takes great pride in his work and has the experience and expertise to take initiative to achieve the best outcome for patients beyond expectation, often having to adapt to unexpected obstacles from patient history. Experiencing significant pain I went to see Dr. Gardner as a repeat patient, expecting a routine implant revision due to a failure of a fifteen year old reduction procedure. Instead, Dr. Gardner had to remove a significant growth and essentially rebuild the sins of the past into results that realistically were better than had ever presented in my youth, all with minimal incisions and recovery. This is the doctor you seek for exceptional cases and care – you are worth it. He is worthy. Special appreciation to his staff, all of whom genuinely take an interest and embody the values Dr. Gardner brings to the table.
Very Pleased
I’ve been very pleased with my care by Dr. Gardner!
Happy to Recommend to Anyone
I don’t think Dr. Gardner and his staff could have made me any more comfortable and safe. It’s hard to find a physician as knowledgeable , talented and caring as Dr. Gardner. He has surrounded himself with a team that should make him proud. I am happy to recommend Dr. Gardner to anyone in need of his expertise.
Natural and Refreshed!
I had a mini face lift 9 days ago and I can’t believe how great it already looks. Thank you Dr. Gardner for making me look natural and refreshed you are truly the best. The staff and nurses are very helpful and comforting.
Natural & Proportionate Results
I had the incredible good fortune to have been referred to Dr. Gardner for a breast reduction, which I had been looking forward to for a very long time! My husband and I consulted with several cosmetic surgeons in our search for the one we felt would be most qualified. That search ended with Dr. Paul Gardner! My once firm and ‘perky’ breasts had become larger and more pendulous with age, and with each passing year.
Long story short: Dr. Gardner restored them – not merely to their original youthful position, shape, and size – but he also transformed my breasts into a perfectly beautiful and natural, proportionate to my body, pair! There is no other way to say it other than that he has an uncanny eye for ‘Divine Symmetry’. Dr. Gardner is an ARTIST. He is able to first visualize’, and then create, the desired result. One cannot put a price on this type of talent.
Exceeded Best Hopes
The Dr.’s skills exceeded my best hopes. He’s meticulous, artistic, caring. In short, exceptional. I recommend him to anyone who wants to see wonderful results.
All Staff Are a Pleasure
Dr. Gardner, Lisa, Amy, Nicole, Brittany and all staff are a pleasure. Office is clean and I felt totally safe. Thank you for the wonderful care!
Kindness & Empathy
I appreciate his kindness and empathy to my issues without making me feel uncomfortable.
Self Esteem Boost
After my mastectomy and subsequent cancer treatments Dr. Gardner gave my self esteem a much needed boost. Thank you!
Marvelous Job!
Had a upper and lower blepharoplasty with a slight lift at outer corners of my eyes. Dr.Gardner owns my face from now on. He did a marvelous job! He was highly recommended by my female doctor and nurses that don,t even work for him! I’ll be having a neck lift and nose job next.
Now when I look into the mirrors in stores with terrible lighting (most of them!) I take a double look at my younger looking eyes! Before I looked tired and angry no matter the best eye creams available. Cant wait for you to get your hands on my face again Dr.G!
Changed My Life
I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you so much for assisting me throughout my time leading up to my surgery last week. You were so helpful and kind and I really appreciate that so much. My surgery day was absolutely seamless thanks to a wonderful and caring staff. I especially appreciate Amber and my morning follow up with Lisa. Both were beyond delightful. Dr. Gardner was also very professional and I am so thrilled with his work. This really has changed my life and I am so thankful for all of you. Stellar medical care is difficult to find these days, especially as a healthcare worker, I have high standards and I am very expectant of quality, professional care. I received all of that and more. You all are a delightful team and worthy of praise. Take care and please know how grateful I am for everyone.
Magic Touch
Dr Gardner and his staff are nothing short of amazing. They make you feel special the minute you walk in the door, no matter the reason you are there! From major plastic surgery to a little Botox, Dr Gardners magic touch will have you feeling like a new and improved you! The front office staff is friendly and professional, and the nurses are the best around. I have never felt to comfortable in a drs office, but Dr Gardner and his staff have changed that. I will continually recommend him and his office!
Very Well Trained
I had no concerns as I left the office feeling I had been very well taken care of. I feel this Doctor has been trained very well and if he was recommended by Dr. Campanile then I have all the faith in the world in him.
You are the Top Doctor
I just want to thank you for all you did for us while in Naples. I am so grateful that we met you and you took such incredible care of me. As a cancer survivor, I have encountered many doctors and surgeons. I have to say in all my experiences, you were/are the top doctor. Your knowledge, compassion and care were superior. I feel truly blessed to have had your care.
I know reconstruction is a LONG way off but I am looking forward to coming to Naples and continuing under your guidance and surgical hand. I am hoping we will have a vacation home there soon.
Thanks again from the bottom of my heart. I am very grateful.
Twenty Plus Years!
Dr. Gardner is the best! I’ve been a patient for 20 plus years and could not give a better rating of the care he provides
100% Score
Certainly, the organization gets a 100% score.
However, that score is contingent upon the individual providing the score.
As a concierge physician I can tell you that my patients have extremely high expectations.
My personal expectations were similarly high, and were surpassed on all counts by the staff, and the quality of the perioperative and operative experience. The office is immaculate and the communication skills of Dr. Gardner are outstanding.
I could not be happier, and more comfortable referring to this office.
Love & Trust
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR STAFF AND DR. GARDNER! I would recommend you to anyone…I trust you all very much.
I’ll Follow Him Anywhere!
Instead of rushing in to get the job done and get me (and my mom) out of his office, Dr. Gardner took the time to hear my concerns. He then TOLD ME TO WAIT to see how one of my concerns would be 6 months down the line. He did NOT just rush to do “whatever.” I felt he valued me much more than the money he would make. It was an unbelievable experience. I would follow him anywhere!!!
First Experience Gone Wonderfully
Dear Dr. Gardner, Lisa, Brittany and Amy-
Thank you all for making my first experience with plastic surgery go so wonderfully.
Pleased with Implant Replacement
Pleased with replacing implants and making my breasts look even and correctly balanced after prior implants had shifted causing my breasts to move to the outside of my chest. Now I look flattering in my blouses. Dr. Gardener also corrected the shape of the nipple area of my left breast which was larger than the nipple on my right, making the shape more consistent with my right breasts. I had water cysts removed thirteen years ago near the nipple area on my left breast. Now, my breasts look even and shaplely.
The Best!
Doctor Gardner is the best! I’ve been going to him for years for Botox and recent for a tummy tuck and the results of it are WOW! Outstanding job Could not trust anyone else with my face nor body. He has never disappointed me.. And let’s not forget the staff he has a great team around him… 💕
Absolutely Amazing!
Dr Gardner and his staff are absolutely amazing!! I’ve recommended to all my friends
Friendly, Helpful & Accommodating
Dr Gardener’s staff was great. Friendly, helpful, and accommodating are how I’d describe their service. I would only go back to Dr. Gardener for any future procedures.
Look Forward to Visits
When my sister visits from NY the first stop we make is to Gardner Plastic Surgery. He is such a pleasure and yet so professional. We both look forward to visiting with him to get Botox, Juvederm and to discuss procedures we will have done.
Very Accommodating
Dr Gardner did a great job. His staff of nurses were very accommodating and had awesome bedside manner. Really made the whole experience of surgery much easier.
I Love my Beautiful Results
Dr. Gardner is truly blessed with amazing skills, and above all else made me feel safe. He is personable, conscientious and extremely intuitive. I interviewed several plastic surgeons in Naples and Dr. Paul Gardner was the only Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who could perform the two types of surgeries that I needed, without hiring and scheduling two separate doctors.
His surgical skills are meticulous and I love my beautiful results. It has changed the way I feel about myself and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and professionalism. It has been a totally positive experience and I highly recommend Dr. Paul Gardner and his professional staff. Yes, you will see me at the beach in my bikini, thanks to Dr. Paul Gardner, Plastic Surgeon Extraordinaire!
You are the best!
Dear Dr. Gardner,
I want you to know that I have already been telling my friends what a great Plastic Surgeon you are!! The care and concern you showed during my recovery from double mastectomy surgery, and the great result I received from you on the reconstruction surgery, could not have been better! You are the best! I also wanted to tell you that your staff could not have been more kind and friendly, along with being truly professional.
Love this Team!
Felt Comfortable & Safe
Dr. Gardner helped me feel very comfortable and safe.
