I travel from Vancouver, Washington, specifically to receive care from Dr. Gordon because I was not getting the answers or level of care I needed from my doctors in Washington.
Dr. Gordon went above and beyond to investigate the source of my ongoing pain and took the extra steps necessary to determine that I had meniscus tears in both knees. I had been living and walking with this pain for nearly two years without a proper diagnosis.
I am extremely grateful for Dr. Gordon’s thoroughness, attention to my concerns, and commitment to finding answers. His willingness to look deeper made a significant difference in my care and treatment.

I have been seeing Dr. Gordon for several years for the chronic pain and debilitating fatigue that came with my rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia diagnoses, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping me find ways to live better with these conditions.
What I appreciate most is that he never stops looking for answers. He is always thinking of other specialists, therapies, and approaches that might help me, and he is willing to explore new medications and treatments while carefully considering side effects and my individual needs.
Living with chronic pain can be incredibly discouraging, but having a doctor who listens, thinks outside the box, and continues to advocate for you makes such a difference. I am incredibly grateful to have him as part of my care team and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone living with pain.
