Paul Gordon, MD

Dr. Gordon has been a board-certified family practice physician in Arizona since 1986. His research interests include delivering medical services to underserved populations and cancer prevention. Dr. Gordon provides prenatal care and delivers babies. 

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Gordon is a faculty member of the UA College of Medicine, where he teaches and supervises family practice resident physicians and medical students. 

In 1993 he assumed the leadership of Preparation for Clinical Medicine, the second largest course in the preclinical years at the medical school. In 1995, along with Dr. McClure, he was asked to lead the Department. Under their leadership, they received significantly increased support from the medical school in recognition of the department's enormous role in teaching in the College of Medicine. Additionally, all of the clinical faculty now perform "full spectrum family practice" providing an important role model for students and residents.  In July, 2001, he stepped down from the Department leadership position to devote more time to teaching, clinical care and research.

Dr. Gordon received his medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. His internship and residency in family medicine were completed at the University of Rochester. 

He speaks Spanish fluently.
