Tara Gordon, PA-C

Care Philosophy
Mrs. Gordon believes healing the body is more than just overcoming a single injury. She eases each patient’s concerns with a compassionate whole-person health care approach, taking into consideration how physical and emotional health may be affecting the patient’s well-being.  
Medical Specialty 
Mrs. Gordon specializes in orthopedic trauma and was drawn to the specialty because of the diversity of injuries and the unique treatment plan needed for each patient. She is also practiced in hand, upper extremity and adult orthopedic reconstructive specialties.

About Me
“Every patient has their own story and recovery goals. Having the ability to provide patients with amazing care while being part of the NAH orthopedic trauma team is an honor. Helping my patients realize their recovery goals is by far the highest reward.”
