Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Richard Gordon is a caring doctor who takes the time to discuss your medical history. Dr Gordon is very friendly as well as a good communicator..

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gordon?
I came to Dr. Gordon with pain in my knees, hips and spine. Dr. Gordon did a physical exam of me, no longer then 10 minutes. He then concluded, after no tests of any kind, that the pain must be coming from depression and advised me to see a therapist. Within the next 6 months I declined further; after another doctor ordered X-rays and an MRI, I was diagnosed with arthritis in those joints and 3 herniated discs. See a different doctor if you are "young" and have joint pain so you aren't ignored.

If you want a doctor who listens and goes over all of the test results with you, this is your doctor. I can't say enough about this man. Four years of pain, now I am under control and able to deal with flair ups from my R.A..
