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.

I waited for over a year before posting a review on my knee surgery for my torn meniscus to make sure of the results. And because this is the first review that I have done online. For me, the surgery went well and I no longer have Knee pain. Unless I look, I’m not sure of which knee had the surgery. Against Dr. Anthony Gordon‘s recommendation, I’ve continued to play basketball into my middle 50s with a little problem. Dr. Gordon was able to keep me calm and sent me home with pictures of inside my knee. I highly recommend him

Dr. Gordon Excellent bedside manner you don’t find many Dr’s. Like him anymore. He’s thorough he listens and gets to the problem. He ordered the MRI to confirm and determine the extent of damage I had done to myself. He scheduled my surgery quickly so I could get the problem fixed. He followed up the day after surgery. He and his staff are the Great. I have had several follow up appointments. He and his staff are there to help you make a full recovery to as good or better than before injury.

Dr. Gordon is personable and explains medical issues and procedures in understandable terms. He performed orthopedic surgery on me and the outcome is so incredible I have been referring others to his practice.

Dr. Gordon did a sheath release on two of my fingers. I have had wonderful relief. My fingers are strong and they healed perfectly. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon.

At a time when you are unsure about your diagnosis & who to chose as a doctor I felt very confident after consulting with Dr Gordon on what my options were & what would be the best outcome for me. He was very easy to talk to because he knew how hard it was for me to have to do both hip surgeries & be down for that long, his staff were very helpful & patient also. It was a long journey & I'm feeling so much better & I can get back to my normal activities. Thank you Dr Gordon!

Dr Gordon is an amazing surgeon. I have been to few orthopedic surgeons for injuries over the years, and by far, Dr Gordon is the best! He takes his time explaining the injuries, the options that I have, the conservative vs aggressive options. He lets me decide how to proceed, depending on the amount of pain I am having. He is definately NOT surgery happy, but will schedule me for a surgical procedure if that,s what I decide. The staff is wonderful as well, especially his asst April!

What I thought was good treatment, ended up being not good at all. He kept waiting and waiting on ordering an MRI for me until I finally told him I needed one, so I could determine whether or not I would be eligible to compete in my sport. Turns out I need surgery, something I could have figured out 3 weeks ago if he hadn't kept asking me to "just come back in 2 or 3 weeks".

Dr Gordon might be good but Alta Sport's business model is obviously based on making money from required excessive appointments and excessive x-rays. And the staff enforces this! Especially April, who seemed quite proud of her lack of compassion. Unless you want to follow their rules 100%, I'd suggest you go somewhere else because once you break a rule, forget getting any help from them. Either Dr Gordon condones the staff's behavior or he is unaware of it. Either way, not recommending him.

I think he gave good advice, except that I had already performed all the given advice, as I had explained, so I was ready to do what he was proposing to do in a followup appointment. In other words, I felt he didn't listen to me, and gave me a pad answer to my complaint without listen to the remedies I had already performed.
