My appointment was 10.30AM and I was able to see more than an hour later. I waited in a tiny room more than 45 minutes! Dr Gordon might be good doctor but I never ever go back to his office. More than 45minutes waiting time is unrespectful, it ruined my all day as a mom!!!

Dr. Gordon is a world class hand specialist by reputation.
I was not disappointed. He is kind and personable to boot.
You cannot do better than Dr. Gordon.

He was well worth the wait. Dr. Gordon is within the office of a fabulous group of sports medicine and orthopedic specialties for athletes and non athletes alike. I got great care from one of the other physicians over a year ago, and was getting some follow-up specific to this recurrent injury and joint problem. He has great bed side manner and the entire practice was professional and put this patient very much at ease.

Dr. Gordon was exceptionally professional with the confidence of long years of varied experience in his field. Without a doubt, I would without hesitation, have him do whatever needed to be done surgically.

Best Hand Doctor!

I was very pleased. He immediately Knew the problem with my hand, and clearly explained what he could do to correct it. He wasn't at all defensive when I questioned parts of the proposed procedure. I plan to have the surgery and am very glad I had received a recommendation from a friend to see Dr. Gordon.

Nice guy. Explained things clearly. Negatives were a long wait, and that for a minute it looked like I was going to have an X-Ray before I spoke with the doctor. It was busy in his office the day I went in, so maybe the wait is not normally as long. I would see him again.
