What Our Patients Say

Thank you for not only getting the best part of my son back but also for reunited our whole family. Because we are not afraid of an explosion, we are hanging out more – can you believe our teenage kids are more involved than they’ve been in years? My husband and I are relaxing into one another, supporting one another in joy. We don’t have to monitor ourselves, watching for triggers, but just enjoying being together. Thank you for making this happen for our whole family. I cannot wait to take our son to a family wedding this month and letting everyone see him and interact with this kid that I’ve always known but most of them have never met. The ripple effect of the work you do is huge. I thank you, my family thanks you, and the lifelong patterns that are being learned and supported now will have a lifetime to bring joy, adventure and expansive thinking into the world. It’s wonderfully imperfect here. We are growing and learning together. And now we are supported through mistakes without fear but with a sense of adventure. Thank you.

I see Dr. Gardner through telepsychiatry. I was unsure of the process at first, but its gone very smoothly and has been fantastic for my busy schedule. He is very professional, and I quickly felt at ease with him. I have seen a few therapists and Denver psychiatrists over the years, but Dr. Gardner stands out as my favorite!

Dr. Gardner knows how to treat a person with respect and understands what you are going through. He has always got back to me if I have a question and is very good with medication management. I have seen multiple doctors in the past and he is by far the best. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Gardner is hands down the best psychiatrist in Denver. I have been to many and finally found my fit. He made scheduling easy and convenient via tele video options. My sleep, depression, and anxiety have improved greatly since seeing him.

Doctor Gardner is so kind! He has been helping me with some issues I’ve been having, and he’s really helped me turn a corner. We have been doing therapy and he has some great insights and has been very patient with me. He is punctual and very accessible.
