Our Staff

Dr. Preston Gardner considers himself as a healthy mix of a surgeon, artist, and collaborator. First, he is highly trained. His experience includes a five-year general surgery residency from Michigan State University before beginning his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Beaumont Health. His expertise and meticulousness will be a valuable addition to our professional staff.

Dr. Gardner has performed thousands of procedures during his medical career. However, he was attracted to reconstruction because “I can give happiness back to my patient.” Plastic and reconstructive surgery can change the perspective a patient has on their life and diagnosis. He enjoys the challenges reconstructive surgery may bring. It also uses talents and creativity to give a natural appearance. Since each patient is different, each poses a unique approach.

Dr. Gardner also enjoys other facets of plastic surgery including, but not limited to, facial cosmetic procedures, body contouring, and skin cancer treatment and reconstruction. He takes special care to understand each patient’s goal and in return educates him or her about the feasibility of meeting those expectations.

Dr. Gardner has privileges with Parkview Health, Parkview Dekalb, Lutheran, DuPont, The Ortho Hospital, and local surgery centers. His professional affiliations include the American Osteopathic Association and American College of Osteopathic Surgeons. Dr. Gardner has published several articles and given numerous presentations. Although his work keeps him busy, he spends his off-hours with his wife and three children.
