My goals and unique techniques are all about refining a patient’s beauty without changing their natural features. After surgery, they often hear that they appear well-rested. Patients smile with their eyes when they are happy. I love seeing that confidence and joy! HOW WOULD YOUR PATIENTS DESCRIBE YOU? Compassionate, honest and a perfectionist. The best advice my father ever gave me was to “treat every patient as if they were your mother.” This has really served me well as I strive to relate to every patient. My job is to help patients find their best solution. HOW DO YOU SHOW PATIENTS YOU CARE? I offer complimentary consultations without a time limit. I call my patients on the night of surgery and the day after to answer any questions. Patients with any concerns are always welcome to call me, and they can make a same-day appointment to see me at no charge. “MY FOCUS IS ON YOUR EYES” ABOUT JAMES R.

Another popular request is laser skin resurfacing to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and reveal a brighter skin tone. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE BEST TREATMENT FOR A PATIENT? The best treatment for a patient begins at consultation. I dedicate a lot of time during each consult to hear their unique stories, concerns and expectations. Together, we discuss the options and then develop an individualized cosmetic plan to best suit their needs. WHEN DID YOUR LOVE FOR EYES BEGIN? My passion for eyes was inspired by my father, Dr. Bruce Gordon. He founded one of the largest eye care specialty practices in the New York metropolitan area. Growing up, seeing my father restore sight to patients deeply moved me. I took up ophthalmology in his footsteps and further specialized in oculoplastic surgery because I believe it is not just important to see well, but also to look and feel great. DR. JAMES R.
