Dr. Gordon is an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon, who has focused and limited his practice to aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery. The significance of having your surgery performed by a plastic surgeon as opposed to a "cosmetic" surgeon cannot be overemphasized. There is no Board of Cosmetic Surgery recognized by the ABMS. The ABMS is by far the largest and the oldest collection of boards that certify doctors after their residency training in America if not the world.
Dr. Gordon's educational credentials are impeccable. He attended Emory University, Atlanta GA for his plastic surgery residency training, graduating in 1981. Emory University was (and is) arguably the top training program in the country, and has produced an awesome number of plastic surgery residency program directors, textbook authors and world renowned lecturers and teachers of plastic surgery. These plastic surgeons are friends and contemporaries of Dr. Gordon.
