    Dr. Gambardella is really a gem. He's very knowledgeable and honest. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, so that why we loved that's he's was our daughter's surgeon. He was realistic regarding returning to play and each and every step of the way. He made the process less stressful and really was helpful explaining everything. He never rushed us and at times I asked too many questions but he didn't mind taking the time to ease my worrying.

    My first impression of the doctor was that he had an excellent bedside manner and the follow up visit went just as well. He Seemed very aware of my problems; I could tell that he read the notes that his staff provided. I really appreciate his calling me on Friday after hours to reassure me that he would see me on Monday and he also provided me instructions on how to care for the condition over the weekend I really appreciate his efforts and the fact he didn't display aggravation about my concerns.
