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.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR
This doctor was rude and acted like he hates his work. He gave me wrong information which resulted in me not getting the help I needed in a timely manner which may have affected my eye sight. The worst doctor I had by far. I was scared when I went to him and didn't know what was going on with my eye and he not only didn't help me, he was rude and abrasive. It was a horrible experience and I will never forget it.

I felt like an inconvenience to Dr. Gordon, who apparently doesn't know how many patients his staff are booking in a given day. He let me know my answers were not quick enough when trying to fit me for lenses; he admonished his staff in front of me and the other clients in the waiting room for booking too many patients; he searched through what looked like a junk drawer for the frames that hold sample lenses; the sample lenses were in that same junk drawer (sanitization? why bother?). Everyone has a bad day, but I suspect he has many. Time to retire? I really need help with my prescription and was hoping for some patience and compassion; instead I got a doctor who doesn't have patience with his patients. This was my first and last visit.

Outstanding, thorough and caring ophthalmologist. It is so hard to find an eye doctor who is a mensch and who has friendly and helpful office staff. Dr Gordon is a throwback to how doctors used to be. Most eye doctors who I have been to run test mills to maximize their insurance billing. Dr Gordon spends a lot of time with each patient and thoroughly examines them. He has a great manner and a lot of patience. I wish more doctors today were like him!

Great Doctor !! Extremely compassionate about his patients and thorough with his treatment. I was experiencing extreme eye pain over the weekend Dr. Gordan made it his business to attend to pain immediately and offered an excellent exam, diagnosis and treatment plan. He was very flexible and patient with me and took his time explaining my problems.

I had a problem with one eye, and needed urgent medical attention.. Since I didn't have an appointment, I thought I would just try my luck to see if I could get to see Dr. Gordon that day. The receptionist gave me an appointment right way, after I told her about my condition. I was so grateful for that. Dr. Gordon did a thorough exam, and he is a real expert in his field. I feel very lucky to be his patient. Peace of mind is what I got from Dr. Gordon and that is priceless.

The doctor and his staff are friendly, efficient, and sympathetic. Most imprtantly, I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes to be seen--even when I've had an emergency. Dr. Gordon is an attentive listener as well as a competent and honest professional. His office staff set up an MRI for me in a matter of 30 minutes, took care of every bit of paperwork and made sure to get the results to me within minutes of them being available so they could alleviate angst and start treatment treatment.
