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 has extensive medical knowledge, expertise and integrity standards. This unique combination of physician traits coupled with his stamina and determination towards finding cures for patients is rare. He is always ready and available to offer his in"sight" into important medical issues. I am deeply grateful for his dedication, diligence and care on my behalf (for the last fifteen plus years). I hereby give Dr. Gordon my highest recommendation after a successful and complex surgical procedure this week.

Always careful and competent over many years of being his patient. Treated me for a continuing condition and saved my sight so that at an advanced senior age I have excellent sight.

He is a wonderful dr. Answers all your questions and makes you feel comfortable. My complaint is the workers there. Most are very rude. You feel like you are bothering them when you have a question

Dr Gordon performed cataract surgery on my left eye. I was told to arrive at the surgical center at 8 AM but was not called in to surgery until after 10 AM. Now, four and a half months later, I have blurred vision in my left eye. Prior to surgery the vision in that eye was not blurred. I am currently under treatment with a specialist to correct this.

I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Gordon and his team at the Palisades Laser Eye Center. I had lasik done in April and I could finally see! No glasses or contacts. It was definitely worth it, I dont know why I waited so long. Dr Gordon did a marvelous job, he was very thorough and reassuring when answering any questions I had and made me feel very comfortable. If you choose to have lasik done with Dr Gordon, you will NOT regret it!

This business has shady written all over it! I'm completely disgusted by how they treat their patients!!!They demand Coinsurance payment prior to surgery or they threaten to cancel your appointment and will refuse service. This is unethical! Who pays coinsurance prior to any procedure before any bill is submitted to your insurance ?????? They prey on their older clients and use the scare tactic of canceling surgeries if they don't pay upfront !! Shady business practices !! Shame on you !!!
