What People Say About Dr. Gordon Tang, MD

On January 30, 2019, Dr. Gordon Tang operated on my wife’s spine to correct Stage IV spondylolisthesis (of the L4 and L5 vertebrae) with debilitating sciatica. Her sciatica disappeared immediately after the four-hour procedure, replaced by temporary surgical pain. After four days in the hospital, she was able to walk around the block, about a quarter mile, upon returning home.
With the aid of a strong “can do” attitude toward exercise and PT, she had made a complete recovery in about three months. All that remains today is a slight decrease in range of motion, as you would expect from fusing two vertebrae together with metal rods and screws.
Not only is Dr. Tang a skilled surgeon. He is also a highly intelligent and articulate man, more so than most surgeons we had interviewed. He was able to explain the steps in the procedure and the risks of surgery, without minimizing them or scaring us, in a way that a “quant” could understand and appreciate.

I saw Dr. Tang for a herniated disc at L5-S1. He recommended several options and discussed them all with me, and let me choose my own course, even though I think he knew I'd end up at surgery one way or the other. Ultimately, I did, and he was my surgeon.
He sees each of his patients himself, and takes time to explain the options, procedures, expectations, recovery, and next steps. I felt heard, cared for, and supported the entire way through from initial appointment to post-op recovery.
While I can't recommend surgery, he was a fantastic doctor and surgeon, and I would recommend him if anyone needs this type of care.

I had sudden onset of a herniated disc, with foot pain and weakness. After a brief treatment course with a physiatrist, I was referred to Dr. Tang. He saw me promptly, and after extensive discussion, we scheduled surgery. A laminectomy and disc removal was done as an outpatient. Pain resolved immediately and has not recurred. Weakness gradually resolved over a year.

Wonderfull.
I highly recommend Gordon Tang. For six months I could not walk more than a few hundred feet without having to sit (pain level 7/10). The pain would then quickly diminish enabling me to walk a few more hundred feet. But I could bike as much as I wanted without any pain!
I had stenosis that created sciatica pain in my right leg only. He operated in July 2019 as an outpatient operation. I walked out the day of the operation without pain. Full recovery took 8 weeks with episode of slight pain, especially at night. I am now fully recovered without pain and without taking any medication. Bernard

Dr. Tang performed a very successful spine surgery for me - L4/L5 micro discectomy. I wouldn't hesitate to have surgery with him again, though I've been pain free for five years (with physical therapy work)!
