5.0 star star star star starI am 70 years old and have seen many physicians over the years. Dr. Gordon is simply the best. Extremely smart and knowledgeable, yet understated and humble. He not only is always aware of the latest developments in his field, but he also conducts clinical studies contributing to those developments. He is that rare combination of being both a curious, innovative medical researcher and a compassionate, and caring doctor who is completely invested in his patients.
