Dr. Luke Spencer - Gardner successfully repaired my 15 year old daughters torn ( hip) labrum. We consulted with every major hip specialist in the State of Florida, without finding one that met our high standards, or that was willing to take her complicated case. Thankfully, our last consult was at the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, with Dr. Spencer - Gardner.From our first meeting with him we knew he was the Surgeon we would choose. He has a wonderful disposition that is equally matched by his knowledge of hip pathologies.He took his time getting to know her history, and explained in very clear & easy terms how he planned to repair the tear. He was very patient when answering all of my “mom” questions from beginning to end & never made us feel rushed.I feel her surgery was a success, and has greatly improved her quality of life. Before surgery, she was mostly immobile from terrible hip pain. Within 2 weeks of surgery she was completely pain free, and mobile again! She is now 3 months post op, and gaining more mobility & normalcy with each passing week.I also feel it should be noted that our entire experience with the Mayo Clinic staff, was like nothing we have ever experienced. Lori & Nora in the Orthopedics department went above & beyond to make this a success! The nurses in pre-op & post -op ( Dan) were very kind & patient with a very scared & anxious teenager.Overall, if you are very looking for a Surgeon to do any work on your hip, and have very high standards of quality of care, you will not be disappointed with your experience at the Mayo Clinic & Dr. Luke Spencer - Gardner!

Mayo Clinic orthopedic in Jacksonville is awful. Got no answers, did not feel listened to at all. Was just told to change my lifestyle. Drove from Key West in hopes to get some answers and help. I got nothing.

I was recently referred for a second opinion in the Orthopedic department. I was pleasantly surprised an impressed with the overall experience. They are very thorough in scheduling, an make sure you’re well informed of the whole process. You are given an itinerary of your visit an they pretty much kept to the schedule, very well organized. My physician was Dr.Trigg, I met with his resident doctor she was great but I can’t remember her name, she took a few notes, reviewed my xrays an went to discuss everything with Dr.Trigg. Dr.Trigg came in was very personable, friendly an he went over everything again an discussed a few different things, options an opinions an kept looking over my extremity. I was very pleased he was not hurried, I felt he was genuinely listening to me an conveyed he wanted the best outcome for me an what he thought I should do. I was very pleased with the whole appointment. I highly recommend Mayo an Dr.Trigg. I drove 4 hours for this visit an the drive itself was miserable but I can honestly say I would make the trip again.

Good doctors. Good prices.
