Dr. Jessica Gordon is a rheumatologist specializing in Morphea. If you have Morphea, you'll know that it is extremely difficult to find a specialist at Dr. Gordon's caliber. I am so happy to have found her at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
I had my initial appointment with her via telemedicine, but my follow-up appointment was in office. Temperature checks were taken in the lobby, and I filled out a questionnaire about how I was feeling the night before my appointment. Before getting to the elevators, I was provided a medical mask, so I stored away the mask I was originally wearing to enter the building.
The main office was spotless and social distancing was enforced. Hand sanitizer was readily available in multiple areas, and the waiting room was empty except for one other patient. I was seen quickly too. Visiting a doctor or hospital during COVID times is scary, but the cleanliness of the office was apparent and I was confident that the staff took all the necessary precautions.
Back to Dr. Gordon - she is knowledgeable, kind, caring, and has superb bedside manner. My appointment with her really put my mind at ease.
Blood results came back quickly, and I was able to view almost immediately on the patient portal. read more
