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.

General Surgeon
I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis back in 2015. Stephen Gordon was the surgeon that did all surgeries. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a good surgeon. He is a good one. If it wasn’t for him I would have given up years ago..

Preop appt went great. Dr Gordon was personable, informative (so we thought) funny, witty, and most importantly....he put my daughter at ease. Surg went as expected. Recovery not so much. My daughter ran into some complications which caused me to make several phone calls to his answering service and office. My last phone call I was told, by Dr Gordon... I have called his office enough and now, has become unacceptable. I could not believe what he just told me. I apologized for "bothering" him (which I should NOT have apologized) He then told me my daughter is 21, she needs to get it together an stop acting like a child. Keep in mind....she had 2 hemorrhoids removed, one internal the other external. And one larger than his thumb. A VERY VERY PAINFUL SURGERY!! I tried explaining to him she is in extreme pain and she thinks something is wrong. A good physician would have said bring her in. His words I quote, " I didn't give her hemorrhoids, I just fixed it." I was in a state of shock. RUN!

Ladies and Gentleman This is an overwhelming endorsement for anyone in need of a "great" surgeon. From Oct. 2016 - Mar. 2017 I had seen over 10 medical personnel for a condition that resulted in at least five different diagnosis for my condition, which kept worsening by the week. A friend recommended Dr. Gordon. I immediately liked him from the first. He quickly diagnosed my problem and within "2" days I had surgery, and feel much better. Believe me when I say you are in excellent hands.

Took his time to explain the procedure. Encouraged me to ask questions. Recommended calling anytime to voice concerns or get feedback. Outstanding listener! Staff reflected those same character traits.
