Dr Gordon treated my dupuytren's syndrome with Xiaflex for a very bent little finger. My finger is now perfectly straight. It's been a month, and I played pickleball today with no problems. The hand hurt a lot for a couple weeks because apparently the Xiaflex is a mofo! I was unkind to Dr Gordon because the week of pain really stressed me out. But he was competent and professional. He might have leaned in a little more with the empathy, but now I'm delighted with the result of his skills. read more

I'm about 10 months past wrist surgery with Dr. Joshua Gordon and could not be more pleased with the results. Despite ultimately having to have one of the bones in my wrist removed -- a year or so after working with Dr. Gordon on less invasive solutions -- my mobility and hand strength are practically 100%. Dr. Gordon is methodical, cautious and seemed to go out of his way to explain the problem, what he was doing and why. The nursing team I worked with, Leticia and Adrienne, were equally fantastic. I found Dr. Gordon through Yelp! and heartily/enthusiastically recommend him. He's a fantastic surgeon and genuinely nice guy who really cares about his patients. read more

Just a quick update . I returned for all of my appointments and I got to keep my finger, the mail matrix, did not get an infection, no pain, moderate loss of sensation. I couldn't be happier. Really and truly, thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I had a terrible, shattered, broken wrist accident 4 years ago. Luckily, I found this place and both Dr. Gordon's took excellent care of me.

I just left an appointment with Dr Joshua Gordon and I am really impressed with his communication, candor and honesty. I've had four previous surgeries with other great orthopedics in the area, so I have decent experience to speak from. From the time I've spent with him, it's my opinion that Dr. Gordon is a true professional and a man with integrity. He took considerable time to explain the results of my MRI and walk me thru the images. He was up front with the diagnosis and my treatment options without hold back. And where he impressed me most is how he took time to review alternative info I brought to him and give me his own thoughts. I felt like I was talking to an old friend the whole time. I see lots of doctors for various personal and family ailments/conditions, and it's rare to find that level of bedside manner especially in San Francisco. Dr. Gordon, I appreciate your time and the info you armed me with. Your patients are lucky to have you. Hopefuly I never have to, but if I have more hand issues I know exactly who to go to. Thank you. read more

I have had both Doctors operate on me in the last couple of years for separate issues. Can't be happier with the results. Both Doctors went to great lengths to diagnose, explain and provide the procedures and projected outcomes. read more

Dr. Joshua Gordon is that rare combination of tremendous skill and fantastic bedside manner. A truly outstanding surgeon, and a very nice & compassionate man! I have had 4 hand surgeries with Dr. Gordon, and every one has been a complete total success!

Dr. Josh Gordon and his staff are awesome! After injuring my wrist during a firefighting incident, Dr. Gordon performed very detailed explanation of the injury and worked on getting me back to duty. Dr. Gordon is a very personable, caring and professional hand surgeon who works in the Work Comp system. As a SF Firefighter, doctors like Dr. Gordon, are essential for us to get highly skilled treatment so we can get back to duty. The medical staff are super nice. Always a friendly visit while under their care. I would recommend Dr. Joshua Gordon to my fellow firefighters 100%. read more

dr Leonard Gordon , amazing surgeon! barely* noticeable little scar! kind and knowledgeable!

doctors do not come any better than Dr Joshua Gordon. I broke my finger on a saturday, a week before a long overseas trip. Doc Gordon saw me on Monday morning, operated on Tuesday and i flew off a few days later. The surgery was flawless, the after care was perfect (yaay for visco-elasticity!) , the staff wonderful and my pinky is now completely fixed. This man goes to 11 :) Really, awesome. thanks heaps and heaps! no worries Norm Wheatley read more

Dr Joshua Gordon was my choice to surgically repair my broken wrist. I met him on day one and surgery was scheduled day 2. It was my first major surgery. Of course I was worried. Dr Gordon took the time to present all the options to me including no surgery which I chose not to do. Please note many physicians will only allow 10-15 minutes time with their patient. Dr Gordon explained exactly what the surgery entailed, answered all my questions, and reassured me I'd have a positive outcome. He spent way over 15 minutes with me. After 8 weeks since surgery, I have 95% mobility back and NO pain! Dr Gordon is super skilled and highly revered by post surgery hand therapists who see the work of many surgeons. Dr Gordon's staff is knowledgeable and caring. I was in excellent hands. If you need a surgeon to repair your elbow to your fingertips, Dr Gordon is your wise choice. read more

Dr. Joshua Gordon really took care of my hand injury. From the initial consultation, plan of treatment, surgery and recovery. He explained to me why I am having the pain, what's causing it and educated me on my treatment options. He even showed some illustrations to me just so I will have an idea of what's really going on. When the other treatment options didn't work and I had to undergo surgery, Dr. Gordon again explained and illustrated to me the process, set my expectations and prepared me for it. I was scared getting the surgery but I was very at ease and reassured during the operation at Dr. Gordons clinic. His clinic staff were all very accommodating and reassuring. After the surgery - in the evening - Dr. Gordon gave me a call to check in on me and told me I can call him anytime if I feel something - discomfort or pain. Dr. Gordon listened to all my concerns and complaints and answer all the questions I had during recovery. He is always patient and doesn't rushed. Dr. Joshua Gordon was certainly very pleasant aside from how good he is in his field. He's very personable and reassuring. Thank you Dr. Gordon for taking care of my hand injury. You're the best. I would also like to commend and thank June and Adrienne from Dr. Gordons office. They are very accommodating and nice. They've helped me with the appointments and paper works that I need to send in to my company. read more

I actually wrote a negative review before and have since changed it. My initial negative review was due to the billing. I have a pretty decent UnitedHealthcare plan through my employer and went in to have my wrist looked at. I assumed insurance would cover an initial consultation. To my surprise, not only did it not but I've since learned that Dr. Gordon charges $450 just to come in for an initial visit. For less than an hour visit, I'm was out $450. After posting that review, i got a call from Dr. Gordon and we discussed how it happened. It was an honest mistake and one that could have been avoided but he was committed to fix it and make it right. A solid move. So, if you're looking for a doctor that a straight-shooter and will treat you right, he's definitely the right place to go. read more

I love how enthusiastic Dr Gordon is about his job. He passionately explains my condition to me, goes above and beyond to answer my questions with drawings and teaches me new vocabulary. I look forward to my next session with Dr Gordon! read more

Dr. Joshua Gordon was excellent through each stage of the process. Initial diagnosis: two doctors missed my scaphoid and he identified it immediately. He was helpful in thinking through a complex decision to do surgery or just cast. Referenced with 2 other hand specialist and they had same recommendation. He was super responsive during the decision process even calling / texting to make sure I was comfortable with the decision. Surgery: surgery itself went very smooth and was very clear with next steps. Highly recommend him and his practice. read more

I tore a ligament in my right pinky finger about 6 years ago. Doctor Gordon did what he does best and repaired the ligament. 6 years later I can honestly say that this man is a true professional through and through. My recovery was pretty smooth and today there are no physical problems with my finger. This review is very late but well deserved. I couldn't be more grateful. Trust the process is all I can say. read more

Dr. Gordon and his staff were aces throughout every encounter...from the initial consults to educating me on what to expect post-surgery and making sure that I can come out of this continuing the activities that I had trouble doing (Brazilian jiu jitsu and piano). My middle finger (which was bent and swollen at the first phalanges), is aligned with my other fingers, which has made a remarkable difference. I had trouble playing certain finger arrangements on piano before but it is so much better now! Thank you!!! read more

Incredibly welcoming staff and an over all comfortable and professional environment. Dr. Joshua Gordon took time to explain to me the exact issues I had with my hand, and was always incredibly courteous, professional, and approachable. His knowledge of his craft is top notch. I would only recommend him for any hand related issues. read more

I am very happy that I was recommended to Dr. Gordon. The care and attention to detail were fantastic and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gordon and the staff. I went out of my network so I could have my treatment with them. My condition was trigger finger in my right thumb (it wouldn't straighten) and while the initial diagnosis was bang on he constantly left himself open to other possibilities and continually double checked to make sure he was giving the appropriate advise and treatment. He took plenty of time to explain his thinking and I felt well informed at every step of the process. First he recommended an injection, which wasn't successful, and then suggested surgery. On the morning of the surgery he brought in his senior partner to quadruple check he was on the right path. All this made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Gordon and will look no further if I have any future needs. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Josh Gordon. He clearly explained what was going on with my hand, as well as my options for resolving it. He wasn't rushed, he listened closely, welcomed questions. If I do opt for surgery, I'll definitely go to Dr. Gordon. read more

I highly recommend Dr Joshua Gordon and the staff at the Hand and Microsurgery Medical Group. I had a bad fall earlier this year which required surgery and they were able to see me next day and had me scheduled for surgery by the end of the week. I had some relatively tricky insurance hoops to jump through but the staff were extremely responsive and did a bunch of extra calls/paperwork to get it all sorted out. I'm currently in physical therapy, and the therapist comments on quality of the incision and speed of my recovery, which I credit to Dr. Gordon. Hopefully I won't need hand surgery again, but I would definitely go back. read more

So grateful to have found Dr. Gordon and enthusiastically recommend him (and his staff). I am an active 62-year old woman who slipped on Mar 17, 2019 and found out that I had "radial head fracture" of the left elbow. I saw an orthopedic surgeon but she informed me that she couldn't operate on it -- I needed a microsurgeon. My good fortune was that her office was kind enough to call and refer me to Dr. Joshua Gordon. My assessment of Dr. Gordon is that he is super-smart, meticulous in thinking through each patient's injuries and treatment plan. He very thoroughly explanations what the injury is, the treatment options, what his thought are, what he expects the outcome to be, what COULD possibly occur. The only thing I could "fault" him on is he is very "medical" -- I'm pretty good at medical terms and had looked a lot of on the internet about my injury -- but I had to laugh at times and say "in English, please!" to him. He'd laugh and say "oh, sorry..." and then choose different words and be sure I understood it -- always very careful to ask if I or my husband had any questions. My fracture was "messy" and the question was whether it would be better to replace the head (elbow joint, to this layperson). One of the possible side effects of such a surgery could be osteoarthritis in the elbow. My mother had it in her knees, and I know that having it in my elbow would not be "fun." It was more than evident that Dr. Gordon was giving it a lot of thought and measuring the options. My husband asked me the night before if I was nervous and I said no -- the surgery was not optional, had to be done -- but as I told him, I could not have had more confidence that I was in exceptionally good hands -- esp. knowing that the senior Dr. Gordon would also be in attendance. I was told to expect that surgery would take about an hour and a half. When I arrived at the surgicenter in the same building as his office -- it was SPOTLESS. I am not a germophobe, but it is reassuring to see a place that is so calming, immaculate and where you feel that you could safely eat off of any surface. My surgery ended up taking FOUR hours..(.I left for home at 10 p.m. and the nurse who was with me had to get home to the NE Bay!) As Dr. Gordon explained to my husband, when he began surgery, the bone was more of a "mess" than anticipated. He had wanted to put 4 pins in, but the fear was that the bone would just fall to pieces and I'd have to have a fake one. Dr. Gordon opted for 3 pins but didn't put them as far in as he wanted to, due to the state of the injury site. He was very specific about my staying in bed for 2 weeks, so as not to risk bumping it against anything and disturbing the pins. All I can say is that, by beginning of June, I was at probably 989% (my fingers are still a bit swollen.) I am very, very, VERY happy that I was referred to him and that he was my surgeon. I always felt that I had a whip-smart doctor thinking everything through, always felt very well cared for, his staff are helpful and friendly, his office is calm (I was usually the only patient there). He was always on time for appointments (as was I). Dr. Gordon strikes me as the kind of man who spends 25 hours a day thinking about the engineering challenges of his next surgery and immersed in medical journals the rest of the time. For the sake of his wife and children, I hope not -- but it was enormously reassuring to a person with a fractured elbow. I can honestly say that I MISS my visits with him and his staff -- how many people say THAT about their orthopedic surgeon? (BTW: The physical therapists CPMC/Davies had very high praise for the doctors Gordon). read more

Highly recommend Dr. Josh Gordon and Hand & Microsurgery Medical Group! I had a very minor wrist injury, but he spent so much time with me making sure he understood how it happened, where I was feeling the pain and reviewing my X-Ray so that he could educate me on my diagnosis. I am in orthopedic practices all the time in my line of work and I see how little time some physicians spend with patients, so it was awesome to be treated with such good care. The rest of the office staff is very professional and friendly as well making the experience a 10 out of 10. Dr. Leonard Gordon even introduced himself while I was there also which is something you don't see very often! read more

The Gordons are amazing! I broke my arm the day after Christmas and couldn't find a surgeon who would take me in before the new year (meaning waiting 8 days from the time of the break until surgery). I found out about the Gordons through Yelp and June (their office manager) amazingly got me in for an appointment the day after I called. Even better, Dr. (Joshua) Gordon was able to get me in for surgery the very same day as my first appointment, meaning that I was able to start recovering a full week sooner than expected. Dr. Gordon took the time to thoroughly explain what had happened to my arm and exactly what the surgery would entail. If I had had this experience ten years ago, I think I would've been inspired to go into medicine thanks to the fascinating lesson in how our bodies can repair themselves (with some help from surgeons)! Now, seven weeks later, I'm already out of my brace and have most functionality back in my arm. Dr. Gordon and Letty (his PA) have taken wonderful, wonderful care of me and have been with me every step of the way in this recovery - making sure that I had regular appointments and assuring me that I could call them at any time with questions. I'm incredibly grateful for the quick recovery of my arm and the extreme thoughtfulness with which this office provided my care. I can't recommend Dr. Gordon highly enough and would encourage my closest friends and family to see him if they are ever in need of a hand surgeon. Thank you, Doctor Gordon!! read more

Dr.L.Gordon is a phenomenal & highly exceptional,professional hand surgeon. I came to his care as a last alternative after having had a failed,right hand dominant hand surgeon for both carpal tunnel surgery & de-Quervain with another surgeon. After the first surgery, my entire wrist locked up! I lost range of motion, was in pain & was basically handicapped. Dr.Gordon took his talented skills & redid surgery & was proactive all the way through with immediate intervention and follow-up appointments for the next almost 9 months. The results are beyond what I could of expected. His skilled office staff made appointment scheduling with ease. Since I commuted from almost 50miles or so from his office I consistently was seen before my scheduled time when I arrived. I now have a future hand surgery pending with my other hand and wouldn't go anywhere else to entrust my life with than Dr.Gordon. Thanks so much Dr.Gordon. Forever grateful! read more

After slamming a finger in a door and getting one doctor's opinion that I needed surgery, I came here for a second opinion. The office staff was incredibly kind, and Dr. Gordon assured me that I didn't need surgery. Under his supervision, my finger healed fully without surgery. read more

Dr. Joshua Gordon is one of the most thoughtful, kind, and talented hand surgeons in San Francisco, if not all of California. Not only is his surgical skills unparalleled, and his credentials evidence that he is the "crème de la crème," but he provides care with such empathy and compassion to his patients that without a doubt I am convinced he is the paragon of what all physicians and healthcare workers should strive for. My mother had a history of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and had surgery with another hand surgeon in San Jose over a decade ago. Recently she had a recurrence of her symptoms with shooting pain, numbness, and shocks down her hand that would wake her up from sleep. Since she had surgery in the past, she wanted to be seen by someone with both experience and compassion, particularly since she knew she may need revision surgery. Dr. Gordon took such exquisite care of her. I accompanied my mom to all of her appointments and the care and attention to detail he provided was unparalleled. Dr. Gordon made sure she understood everything in layman's terms and assured her he would take the utmost care of her hand. She had surgery with Dr. Gordon 2 weeks ago and the surgery was a success! It was definitely worth it to travel an hour and a half each way to see Dr. Gordon. Both my mother and I give our highest recommends possible to Dr. Gordon and his team. We would hands down (no pun intended) see him again for all our orthopedic hand needs. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Joshua Gordon since this January, and I am deeply appreciative of the amount of effort he has put into my case. I came into the clinic for a second opinion, expecting to have to go through surgery for my hand injury because that was the impression I got from another hand surgeon. Dr. Josh Gordon thoroughly examined my case and suggested trying a conservative treatment option instead of surgery, which I agreed with and followed. I actually have been seeing improvements with my hand since then. Dr. Josh Gordon continues to monitor my case in the meantime. I am not saying that conservative treatment is always the best treatment option for everyone, but I am saying my experience has demonstrated that Dr. Josh Gordon really puts careful thought into his cases for the good of his patients rather than making any hasty surgical decisions. I even got the pleasure of meeting Dr. Leonard Gordon once, who I think is also very professional and caring like Dr. Josh Gordon, as Dr. Leonard Gordon took time out of his personal schedule just to offer a third opinion on my case. I am an active badminton player so my hand means a lot to me, and I am thankful for Dr. Josh Gordon for giving me hope on my case. I am also currently a pre-med student aspiring to become a neurologist, and I would want to become a doctor as professional and as knowledgeable as Dr. Josh Gordon. read more

I'm an aspiring tennis player who needs to play over 4hrs a day, 6 days a week, workout at least 3-4 times per week, and participate in competitive tournaments against world ranked individuals almost every weekend. To make my situation a little more interesting I have a one-handed backhand as well, which puts even more pressure on my wrist all the time. I was diagnosed with stage 3a/b Kienbocks disease, and was told that I couldn't play tennis ever again. My pain was so awful that I couldn't function unless I took 800mg of Ibuprofen for breakfast, lunch and dinner or else I didn't have the strength (or will) to turn doorknobs, or turn the key to start my car. After seeing over half a dozen specialists, and getting multiple MRI scans and X-ray, I was able to have my consultations from Dr. Leonard Gordon himself. I must say Dr. Leonard Gordon truly saved me. From the moment I walked into the receptions office and explain my situation, they smiled back and said "do not worry we specialize in this illness". This was so amazing after hearing so many times before that almost all doctors might see this disease once or twice in their entire profession, if that... This was the best news I heard in a very long time, and my excitement didn't stop there. Once I actually met Dr. Gordon, I couldn't have felt more joy. He is truly a down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, and respectable man. I wouldn't have anyone else work on my right wrist....he was the one I was able to trust, and be fully confident to take care of problem. The date of my surgery was on July 27, 2011. Since then I went through minor rehab, along with appropriate diet and nutrition plan (on my own), as well as fitness to promote a healthy supply of blood. My first day back into tennis was February 14, 2012, and after 4 months, I have participated in 8 tournaments, picked up a couple ATP points and practicing and working hard ever since. There has been only two different occasions where I had some pain in my hand, but that was because I might have overdid my training at that period. So I took some rest and recovered well afterwards. I also experience minor stiffness in the wrist, but that is to be expected, so I provide a slow warm-up for my tennis practices and then proceed with no issues once warm. Thank you Dr. Gordon, I am eternally thankful to you! read more

Dr. Joshua Gordon provided excellent care when I was involved in an injury impacting my ulner nerve. The care that he provided exceeded my expectations!! If you are looking for someone who takes the time to thoroughly explain all treatment options as well as various types of tests look no further! Dr. Gordon is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. His care deserves 5+ stars because he truly cares about his patients wellbeing. Even after providing care, he calls to check how my elbow and wrist are doing. Thank you to Dr. Gordon for supporting me along the way and giving me a positive outlook. read more

Three words says it all..... Best Hand Doctor! I saw Dr. Gordon in 2003 when I lacerated the tendons in my dominant hand.

Keep up the good work! read more

Knowledgeable and skilled specialist. He's a surgeon so don't expect the same touchy-feely bedside manner of a therapist. However, he is professional and efficient. His waiting room can be a bit crowed because he's popular, so park in a parking garage not a coin-fed meter. read more

If you have a serious hand problem requiring surgery, Dr. Gordon is the doctor you want to see. I had a retraction problem on my right hand, and surgery by Dr. Gordon fixed the problem. Then there was the matter of my left hand, which not only involved retraction, but also a tumor and a cyst. That surgery was a lot more involved, but very successful. Post surgery, I moved 650 miles away, and they continue to monitor my progress via cell phone photos and phone conversations. Dr. Gordon is a serious doctor who will take your hand problems seriously. Don't expect a humorist. read more

I had a wrist injury and went in to get treatment. The front office staff were excellent and I got seen in a timely fashion. I got a brace and some medication which improved my wrist pain a ton. It's been months and my wrist still feels much better. I think perhaps my favorite part of the visit was the thorough evaluation and explanation, even though it was not a clear cut diagnosis, the treatment was effective. If my wrist starts hurting again I will certainly come back here. read more
