About Dr. Gardiner

Jeffrey P. Gardiner, D.O. joined Utah Valley Eye Center in July 2015. He is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and specializes in cataract, cornea, LASIK and EVO ICL surgery.

Dr. Gardiner had plans to pursue a career in ophthalmology as early as high school. Assisting a group of ophthalmologists on a medical mission to Mexico confirmed this desire. He takes joy in and is committed to helping his patients achieve better vision and improved quality of life. He enjoys serving the Utah Valley community as well as being a part of medical missions to Mali, Africa with the doctors at Utah Valley Eye Center.

He joined our practice after completing a cornea fellowship under the direction of Thomas F. Mauger, M.D. at the Ohio State University Havener Eye Institute. During that time, he received extensive training in corneal transplantation and ocular surface procedures, as well as cataract and refractive surgery. Dr. Gardiner was the first ophthalmology fellow at Ohio State to be presented with the residents’ surgical teaching award for his outstanding surgical skill and teaching capabilities while mentoring the ophthalmology residents in a surgical setting.

Prior to his fellowship at Ohio State, Dr. Gardiner completed an ophthalmology residency at the University of Arkansas under the direction of Richard A. Harper, M.D. In his final year of residency, Dr. Gardiner was recognized as “Resident of the Year”, an award voted on by all of the faculty ophthalmologists and fellow residents he worked with.

Dr. Gardiner grew up in Ogden, Utah. He attended Weber State University where he met his wife, Hilary. They were married shortly before moving to Arizona to attend medical school. Dr. Gardiner loves being back among the mountains where he enjoys biking, hiking, running, and spending time with his five children.

What Patients Say About Dr. Gardiner

  • I received ICL from Dr. Gardiner and it has been an amazing experience! A different doctor’s office was going to try to do SMILE or LASIK which wasn’t as good of an option due to how nearsighted I was so I found Dr. Gardiner due to his ICL experience. He gave me his honest recommendations, broke down pricing, and was very transparent. Everything you could want from a doctor! After surgery I had very itchy eyes and wanted recommendations and Dr. Gardiner even picked up his phone after hours and talked to my wife to give me some recommendations. I could not be more appreciative of his hands on care. I am seeing 20/15 out of both eyes, recovered quickly, and would do it a 100 times over.
