Dr. Lawrence Gordon, MD is a board certified Head and Neck Surgeon who specializes in parathyroid and thyroid surgery.  He is a parathyroid surgeon with over 15 years experience with many different modalities of parathyroid surgery.

He is one of the few parathyroid surgeons fully trained in all modalities of parathyroid surgery.  Dr. Gordon trained under notable Head and Neck Surgeons John Connely, MD and Hyun Cho, MD.
