“Before my appointment, June called to ensure that she had all of the information the office needed before coming to the office. She was courteous, professional, and accommodating. When I arrived, the wonderfully friendly staff greeted me with big smiles. After quickly signing some paperwork, I was immediately taken to a room and made comfortable before getting to talk about all of my questions and concerns, as well as giving my reasons for making the appointment. The staff was all kind and very attentive. Dr. Joshua Gordon exuded radiant compassion, professional expertise and gave me thoughtful responses to my questions. He patiently laid out my options and gave thorough explanations, leaving me feeling at ease and grateful that I chose this office to understand better my choices regarding the fracture in my left hand that didn’t entirely heal correctly. Ultimately, I have decided to go through with surgery, and I am sure that I am in good hands!”

I was a first time patient with Dr Joshua Gordon on 7/30/20. My interaction with June in his office in advance was outstanding. Dr Gordon was exactly on time. I was highly impressed with his professional style and knowledge. He was thorough in his questions to assess my problem and was a careful listener. I recommend him as a 15 on a scale of 1-10.

A very comfortable and pleasant experience. Dr. Gordon is a real human doctor who communicates with you openly and responsively. I recommend him highly!
More than 1 year agoBenjamin D.Verified patient
Dr Gordon came across as very knowledgeable but not too conclusive.. in a positive way.. meaning he left himself open to possibility while being confident in his diagnosis. I believe the issues I have are pretty common yet I left with the impression that he had considered all options. He took them seriously despite how common they might be.
It was also a pleasure to get a little education from him, he explained things in a way that was easy to understand and I left with a lot of questions answered.
Really glad I was recommended to see Dr Gordon and would happily pass along that recommendation.
More than 1 year agoJon G.Verified patient
He had a tough case just before me but I'm sure he would spend as much time with me as I needed. I have worked with many physicians professionally in a hospital setting and my feeling about Dr. Gordon is that he is top drawer. Even though it is early in his practice I would be confident that I was in good hands. If/when my condition requires surgery I will call on him.
November 7, 2019Steven S.Verified patient
Dr. Joshua Gordon was an excellent doctor! From the moment he entered the room, you could feel his sincerity. He listened to my symptoms and promptly noted them, gave ample time to examine my hand, and took the time to give an explanation (even drew a diagram to illustrate his discussion better). Throughout the consultation, he was incredibly professional, and he really showed his expertise. At the same time, he was very pleasant, kind, and assuring.
Moreover, the receptionists in Dr. Gordon's office were very nice and friendly. They attended to me as soon as I arrived, and once I had finished an initial interview with the doctor's assistant, I didn't have to wait at all to see Dr. Joshua Gordon. The office environment is also very clean and professional yet comfortable.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Joshua Gordon!

Don’t go anywhere else. Dr. Gordon is the best hand surgeon I’ve seen, and as someone who played rugby and football in college and broke hands, fingers, and wrists more time than can even be counted on two hands, he was a magnitude of order above the rest!
January 3, 2019Bradley W.Verified patient
Dr. Gordon was very professional and knowledgable. He took the time to explain procedures to me and answer any questions I had. He is also personal and will take the time to get to know you as a patient. I would recommend him to any ortho patient, he was excellent and had a significant inpact on my recovry process, due to well preformed surgeries.
