Patient Testimonials

“Thank you for the excellent care, advice, and professionalism I received. I do not live in the area but was traveling through. I wish we had this facility & Dr. Gordon’s expertise in the small town of Crescent City, CA. The staff is friendly & helpful. They, too, treated me with courtesy and respect. Thank you again for seeing me & helping me – what a difference you have made in my life.” – Linda Schlack

Dr. Gordon was AMAZING- I have the highest regard for his significant surgical skills – and he is very HONEST and ETHICAL. I had a 10 mm L-4- L5 disc bulge and could NOT tolerate the sciatica pain anymore- I had gone through bottles and bottles of Motrin for 3 years before finally agreeing to see a surgery consult. Dr. Gordon was very direct and clear at the consult that I understand minimally invasive surgery – both the benefits and potential risks before agreeing to surgery. He suggested a website so I could learn more about my options. I went into Hoag Same Day Surgery at 7:00 am, Dr. Gordon performed minimally invasive surgery at level L4-L5, and by 12 noon I could go home. By 2 pm I was at my computer typing my Thank You letters to Dr. Gordon,the anesthesiologist and the nurses- because I was so HAPPY to NOT have that daily leg (sciatica) and back pain. This was 5 years ago (2006) and I am STILL entirely PAIN FREE. After surgery I threw all my Motrin bottles away (yeay!) and I have never needed Motrin since. I know I am fortunate that my health plan sent me to Dr.Gordon for my spinal surgery. I recommend Dr. Gordon if you need a talented, ethical surgeon. Dr. Gordon gave me my active sports (rock climbing, trail running) life back!!!! – Dr. Gordon patient

Dr. Gordon is the reason I am not in a wheelchair. He’s been my spine surgeon for 21 years. I would travel anywhere to see him. He is caring and not at all quick to operate.He’s the best spine doc out there. I refer every family member and friend to him. Don’t make the mistake of going somewhere else. I’ve known many people who have, for geographic reasons, and they always end up in Dr. Gordon’s office to have prior surgeries from other doctors corrected. I travel 3 hours every other month without hesitation. – Dr. Gordon patient

Dear Dr. Gordon, Thank you for really taking the time with my Dad on august 11^th. You did an outstanding job explaining his spine issues. My Dad was a doctor back east and you had the same personable manner about you!

My Dad recently had a stroke and he felt you were the best medical professional he has met in his journey. I enjoyed meeting you too.

Cheers, Your Patients Daughter!
