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.

Did not work out for me.
Two failed knee replacements resulting in chronic pain, knee instability and a diminished life. Dr. Gordon’s medical decisions related to my care were ill advised. I am living with the consequences. Nice man, ask lots of questions. I’m seeking relief from other providers.

Best orthopedic doctor!
I went through a lot of vary specialists for two years searching for my diagnosis. Dr Gordon immediately got deep into my problem. He find the diagnosis and made a plan for the treatment. Also, he is very knowledgeable professional and be very kind. No words exist to express my highest appreciation.

Dr. Gordon and Chad Anderson are hands-down the BEST doctor and PA I have ever met with. Above all, they are both extraordinarily compassionate, patient, and a wonderful listeners. Although I would recommend Dr. Gordon to anyone, I would especially encourage those who are nervous or overwhelmed by the whole doctor experience to talk to Dr. Gordon. Chad is phenomenal!

I had both hips replaced by Dr. Gordon and I told everyone they were almost non-events. Little to no pain after surgery and was able to walk within a day of both surgeries with little difficulty. After physical therapy both hips are like new and I am able to go for long walks and use my rowing machine with no pain or difficulty. I found Dr. Gordon to be a good listener and he explained in detail what the procedures would be and what to expect. I read a one star review and can't believe it was the same doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon.

I notice Dr. Gordon specializes is hip and pelvic bones but he gave me a knee replacement that I cannot begin to say what a marvelous job he did. I was up and walking without a cane, walker and driving a car within two weeks. My pain was kept under control and I did physical therapy. I now am kneeling during my gardening and I had the operation when I was 78 - he is amazing.

Over the past year and a half, Dr. Gordon has replaced both of my knees. He and his team are absolutely the best, totally understanding and caring and always professional. I would (and already have) recommended him to anyone in need of surgery. My biggest mistake was waiting too long. I should have done it five years earlier. How can i possibly ever thanks Dr. Gordon for restoring my quality of life. Potential patients....Dr. G puts 100% into surgery so you put 100% into PT afterwards.

Dr Gordon performed hip replacement surgery on my right hip in 2017. I can’t say enough about Dr Gordon’s stellar treatment. I recovered fully with no problems due to his outstanding care. I would definitely recommend Dr Gordon to anyone needing hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Gordon and his team performed both of my anterior hip replacement surgeries. I found them to be very professional and at the same time caring and understanding. I was provided with all the resources I needed and my questions were always answered courteously in a timely manner. Most importantly, Dr Alexander is a brilliant orthopedic surgeon. Both of my surgeries were day surgeries and they both went off without a hitch. I felt so good that I was dancing at a party 3 weeks after the 2nd one.

I had both hips replaced 6 months apart from each other. I never think about my hips not belonging to me and forget I had them dobe. Highly recommend the anterior approach with Dr. Gordon. He will be doing repairs to a knee replacement later this year to knee that was done with a different M.D. 6 years ago and anticipate smooth sailing on that surgery. Don't wait, go see Dr. Gordon@

I have had both my hips replaced by Dr. Gordon within a period of 5 months. I could not be happier with the results of both procedures! Not only is he obviously a skilled Orthopedic Surgeon, he is a pleasure to deal with on a personal and professional level. His office runs like clockwork, and his staff is outstanding as well. He seems to really care about each patient and their desires to return to their favorite activities free of pain, thanks to his expertise.

He and his staff were professional, charming and cordial. I felt like my surgery was a miracle. His PA said he would challenge me to a tennis game. Of course I thought I would never play again. Within six months after surgery I was on the courts and felt as if I never had a hip problem.

Had left total knee replacement Aug 2017 after 4 months of pain, using a walker and having seen 6 ortho surgeons for evaluation. So happy I decided on Dr. Gordon. Could walk the same day, no pain, great follow-up and PT coming to home. Very happy with the outcome. Thank you.

2 hips in little over 2 hours a piece of cake. Was known as the man with 2 hips like it was a big deal. Was walking the halls 6 hours after surgery and stairs the next day. Was amazed how fast I was able to assume normal functions. Walking fast, bending down, two stairs at a time, putting on socks. Back skating, something I never thought i would do again and my slap shot is as good as the night I damaged my hips. Not bad for 80 yrs old. Every ones life experiences should be this successful,

Dr has replaced both of my knees and one of my hips over the last ten years. I am a medical professional and very careful who I choose to be my personal physician. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable all rolled into one practitioner. I have recommended him to friends and family. Staff is quite wonderful also.

I walked around in excruciating pain for 6+ years. My arthritic hip affected not only my hip, but my upper and lower back. I'm in the healthcare field and had been very active until my hip limited me in every aspect of my life. I don't like taking drugs and subsequently relied on Ibuprofen and Tylenol only. They did not offer me much relief. Thursday June 8, 2017 Dr Gordon replaced my left hip.Now I forget I have a hip replacement. Don't wait.

Dr Gordon replaced my hip and knee (2016 & 2017), both at Thanksgiving week. The initial worries were about losing: time at work and having daunting holidays. My family surprised me with their enthusiasm for the holidays. Life went on at the school and my students were thrilled when I returned. When you choose a doctor you may not know how effective their team may be in the surgical process. Dr Gordon and his staff are a complete package of excellence!
