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.

Dr. Gordon examined me for pain in my right foot. He ordered a scan without examining my foot. He also order a foot support, which fortunately was available on Amazon. On the follow up visit he said the scan showed no break in any bone in my foot. Again no examination of the foot. He said come back in six weeks if pain persisted. He spent less than 5 minutes with me on each visit. Needless to say I stopped using him.

Very helpful in explaining my foot problems and the various ways to best treat the problems. Very through in explaining how he was treating the problems I was having. Very knowledgeable and conservative doctor, not one to rush you into surgery.

Dr. Gordon is a great doctor and surgeon. He has a very caring bedside manner, gave me multiple options for treatment, and explained diagnosis thoroughly. The office staff is professional and friendly, especially Shelia.

I recently visited Dr. Gordon. Overall I was very disappointed. There's a lot I could complain about (for example...I waited over an hour and he only spent 5 minutes with me) but what I was most disappointed is Dr. Gordon didn't take the time to walk me through any of his diagnosis. In my opinion, Doctors are teachers. In the 5 min I saw de Sloan, he mentioned about 4 conditions that I had. I asked about them but he gave me 2 sec explanation of each (I had to google all of them after).

I consulted Dr Gordon for an In-grown Nail on my foot. I had an appointment but I was made to wait 1.5 hrs before I could see him. He did not examine my foot and did not explain anything but asked me if I wanted the nail cut. Without any further conversation, he got the procedure started. A very poor inter-action with the patient
