In significant pain from newly diagnosed cervical disc nerve issues, Dr. Gordan and the staff went out of their way to see me within a few hours, schedule my cervical epidural for early the next morning and provide an Rx for effective pain management in the interim. The injection procedure was executed very efficiently and was, to my surpise, literally painless.

I am very pleased with Dr. Gordon. He listens and explains everything well and is very gentle when he give injections. I love the fact that he communicates with other physicians regarding my care so that everyone is working together.
