Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely no trust in him
The cold ice demeanor he has. Don't ask to many questions or suggest something it doesn't sit well with him.

Don't ever question him.
I felt that he was not addressing all my concerns. The doctor went off on me like a firecracker! He was shouting at me, throwing the papers I brought and got within 6 inches of my face. How dare I question him? He has done his best for 5 years. He shouted at me for 10 full minutes. At one point I was shouting back, but he was like a crazy man. Just kept repeating that I should never question him and I could go somewhere else if I didn't like his answers.

Left Me To Die
He didn't want to talk to me while I was in the hospital. I needed a second opinion and was refused.

Kind, intelligent, and conscientious
Dr. Gordon is very gentle-mannered, kind, and compassionate. He clearly makes sure when he answers a question that his answer is well-informed. If needed, he will briefly leave the exam room to research a question in his office. He takes time to address a patient’s concerns after thoroughly explaining a diagnosis and discussing treatment plans. His nurse, Monica, is fabulous. She is friendly and understanding and returns calls, usually in the same business day. During post-treatment appointments, Dr. Gordon asks about the patient’s overall health, which I appreciate.

I frequently accompanied my sister on her visits to Dr Gordon. We always felt listened to and we were given all the time we needed. Dr Gordon always gave us hope, but was realistic when circumstances changed. We trusted him and am grateful for the care we received.
