Richard L. Gardner II, DPM is a board-certified podiatrist and one of the skilled foot and ankle surgeons at Las Vegas Foot & Ankle Centers. He has been practicing podiatry since 2016 and is a native of Nevada. He was born in Winnemucca and still has relatives throughout the state.
Dr. Gardner attained his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University, then went on to receive his podiatric education at the Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. He then completed a three-year residency in Los Angeles, California, where he gained clinical and surgical experience in multiple settings, including veteran, county, and Kaiser hospitals.
Dr. Gardner specializes in the treatment of diabetic foot care, trauma, bunions, hammertoes, and heel pain. He has a special interest in limb salvage and the management of diabetic and venous wounds.
“I take great satisfaction in assisting patients on their journey of healing,” said Dr. Gardner.
He is board certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery® and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine.
Outside of work, he enjoys following many college teams but will always have a special place for BYU football, his alma mater. He also plays racquetball at a competitive level. Most of all, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children.
“Family is important to me. My wife and I have four kids who have a never-ending supply of energy and imagination. I’ve enjoyed reading to them at night – sometimes for a little too long,” said Dr. Gardner. “We like to hike and go for bike rides and play games. I feel grateful and privileged to see our kids grow up – almost right before my eyes.”
Dr. Gardner is accepting new patients.
