She is the President of Immaculate Medical Services, LLC, where she provides services in internal medicine and occupational medicine to patients in the DC Metropolitan area and beyond. 

“I partner with my patients and work with them to develop an individualized treatment plan based on their specific needs. My focus is patient-first, and my goal is always optimal health for my patients. I believe trust and honesty are key elements in the patient-physician relationship, and I work closely with my patients to keep them well” expressed Dr. Gordon.

Licensed in the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland, she is the Medical Consultant to the American Legion, Washington, D.C. where she evaluates veteran’s cases for service-connected disabilities; and an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Services where she mentors medical students. She is also affiliated with MedStar Washington Hospital Center, as well as serves as a medical expert witness in varied cases, and performs worker’s compensation evaluations and independent medical examinations.

Back in 1979, Dr. Gordon graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine. She then went on to obtain her Master of Forensic Science/Forensic Toxicology degree from the University of Strathclyde in 1981. 

Wanting to further her education, she completed both her Doctor of Medicine degree and her Master of Public Health degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in 1995. She then went on to complete her internship, residency in internal medicine, and fellowship in occupational and environmental medicine at George Washington University Hospital, concluding her training in 1999.

Prior to receiving her medical degree, Dr. Gordon worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Pharmacology at George Washington University Hospital and completed all the Pharmacology Ph.D. courses. She is the former Medical Director for British West Indies Airways in the Washington DC area; the former Medical Director of Occupational Health at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center; and has served as a Consultant to Federal Occupational Health.

A Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), the doctor is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine, a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

In addition, she holds board certifications in occupational medicine and environmental medicine through the American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM). The ABPM is a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties that issues “certificates of special knowledge” in the specialty of preventive medicine.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.
