Title
My Experience at the New York Center for Advanced Parathyroid Surgery

I am feeling great after my parathyroid surgery.  It has been 5 years since Dr. Gordon took care of me and I am very happy with my result.  You can barely see the scar.

Thyroid Patient

"He performed a complete thyroidectomy on me due to a suspected cancer. Biopsies were not clear about the cancer until after the surgery. He listened to my thoughts and feelings about the partial versus total thyroidectomy and followed my wished to have it completely removed when the biopsy during surgery was unclear. A bonus that I later found out is that he is trained in cosmetic surgery as well. My scar looks beautiful and blends in more every day. He has been following my thyroid levels for more than a year now because my energy levels have not responded in spite of normal or even below normal TSH tests. He is very patient and willing to tweak the meds until we get it right. He is very kind, compassionate, open to the patient's perspective, and completely worth the 1 hour drive I make to see him every 6 weeks. He is committed to get me feeling my best." (June 2006)

Mary L,Washingtonville,NY

When I first learned that I needed surgery I was very scared. I asked many doctors and friends for a recommendation and it was difficult to find someone specializing in just parathyroid surgery. When I learned about the New York Center for Advanced Parathyroid Surgery I was very happy to learn that this Center was located very close to where I live. The care I received was exceptional, I feel great, and my problem is resolved. Now I take calcium and vitamin D supplements and my osteoporosis has improved. I feel much better now.

Hilda V,, Washingtonville, NY

I was very nervous before my surgery but Dr. Gordon took the time to speak with me and explain everything that was going to happen. I thought I was not going to be able to talk, but everything went exactly like Dr. Gordon said it would. I no longer have problems swallowing and do not choke when I eat or drink something. Dr. Gordon and the staff were very nice and knowledgeable and I would recomend him to everyone.

James Q, New York

Dr. Gordon immediately put me and my wife at ease. He answered our questions, we were not rushed and we were most impressed with his professionalism and manner. While my surgery turned up more than was expected, my care was exceptional and Dr. Gordon was available to me when I needed him. In the end, everything turned out fine and we believe that Dr. Gordon's skill made the difference. My scar is negligible, even though it's not a factor when you need surgery.

Carmen C,,

Mi operacion fue un exito y le agradesco al doctor que me hizo una muy buena operacion. Pense que me hiba a quedar una marca fea en el cuello, pero no hay ni rastros de la operacion y lo mejor de todo es que estoy mejorando y mis huesos se estan poniendo saludables. Gracias doctor Gordon.

John K., Rock Hill, NY

On November 5th 2010, Dr. Gordon and staff performed parathyroid surgey on me at St. Anthony's Hospital in Warwick New York. I must say that this was one of the most pleasant experiences that I have had in a hospital setting. Everyone was gracious, friendly and professional. They left no questions to be asked. The surgery went without any pain or discomfort. The aftercare was minimal and there is no scar on my neck as of today. That's just over one month later. I would recommend the New York Center for Parathyroid Surgery to all those seeking medical care.

Agnes M,

Dr. Gordon is the best. I recommended him to my daughter. He is very nice. Everything went well.

Om P,Kendall Park,NJ

Very smooth Surgery. Dr. Gordon never tried to rush it out. He did wonderful job. He is always accessible for any inquiry or questions.

Helen U., Greenwood Lake, NY

Dr. Gordon went over and beyond. I have recommended him to close friends and family. His mannerism and the way he spoke were very comforting. He was my second opinion and as soon as I spoke with him he made me comfortable and I made the decision to go with him as my surgeon.

Linda P., Rockaway, NJ

Dr. Gordon put me at ease, explained very clearly what he would be doing, gave me comfort that he knew exactly where the tumor was and was very responsive to my questions and calls. The anesthesiologists were great: for the first time I didn't get sick when I came out of the anesthesia. The nursing staff was also great. Dr. Gordon isn't only a talented surgeon he has a great manner.

Linda P., Rockaway, NJ

The New York Center for Advanced Parathyroid Surgery is located in small facility and therefore you feel like you're getting personalized service. The staff is very friendly, unlike some larger hospitals where you feel like you're lost in the crowd.

Neil F, Monroe, NY

What I like the most was the fact that whenever I called the office, my questions and concerns were addressed immediately and I never felt rushed off the phone.

Neil F, Monroe, NY

Dr. Gordon's kindness is extremely reassuring during such a stressful time.

Neil F, Monroe, NY

I was very nervous about having surgery on my neck and at my first visit with Dr. Gordon I learned that he operates using minimally invasive techniques. Two weeks after surgery I was amazed that there was barely a scar on my neck. Prior to surgery Dr. Gordon addressed all my concerns with myself and my family. Immediately after my surgery, Dr. Gordon informed my family that everything went fine.

Neil F, Monroe, NY

I have recommended Dr. Gordon to several friends.

John K., Rock Hill, NY

On November 5th 2010 I had parathyroid removal at St Anthonys Hospital in Warwick New York performed by Dr. Lawrence Gordon. I must say this was an extraodinarily comfortable experience. From the onset Dr Gordon and his staff put me at ease, explaining everything throughly which showed wonderful professionalism and extreme patient care. The medical care I received at St. Anthonys during my surgery left me feeling that I would return there for any other proceedure needed to be done. This kind of care isn't often found these days, they made it 'a piece of cake' A big Thanks to Doctor Gordon, his staff and all the staff at St. Anthonys.
