I believe trust and honesty are key elements in the patient-physician relationship, and I work closely with my patients to keep them well” expressed Dr. Gordon.

Back in 1979, Dr. Gordon graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine. She then went on to obtain her Master of Forensic Science/Forensic Toxicology degree from the University of Strathclyde in 1981. 

Wanting to further her education, she completed both her Doctor of Medicine degree and her Master of Public Health degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in 1995. She then went on to complete her internship, residency in internal medicine, and fellowship in occupational and environmental medicine at George Washington University Hospital, concluding her training in 1999.
