While I have seen many doctors in my lifetime with various personalities, he is by far head and shoulders over the others! He is extremely knowledgeable, caring and helps his patients navigate the complex road to recovery. He expertly treats the physical challenges of cancer as well as the mental aspects.

Dr. Gordon is wonderful! He is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and he takes his time to be thorough and to explain everything. That is so important when you're dealing with anyone's health and particularly with cancer.
