I have been a patient of Dr Tang since 2018. I am deeply dissatisfied with the care I received. Dr Tang has nearly zero direct communication with patients . No online portal or email. There is no way to call him, patients have to leave messages with office staff who pass them to him. After a year of tests, Dr Tang admitted he could not diagnose my shoulder pinched nerve pain. He referred me to renowned spine specialist Dean Chou at UCSF Medical Center. Dr Chou successfully diagnosed a cervical disc as the problem. Now Dr Tan... read more
Great surgeon. In 2019, he successfully operated on my lower spine to cure a very painful sciatica on my right leg that prevented me from walking. (stenosis). I was 73. I highly recommend him.
I consulted with Dr. Tang about 15 years ago for a herniated disk. At the time, he suggested that I would likely heal in a few weeks without surgery, and I did! A recent bad decision on my part (lifting incorrectly), reinjured two of my disks, and combined with age-related deterioration, I lost some feeling and function in my leg. The sciatic pain was also debilitating. Dr. Tang operated on me in a quick, surgery center procedure that immediately alleviated my pain and restored full function. The process was as "covid-safe" ... read more
After progressive numbness in my hands and lower body, I was referred to Dr. Tang for surgery. My diagnosis was severe cranial spinal cord compression, and I needed surgery ASAP. This was in April-May 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus. Dr. Tang (via a zoom appointment) explained the results of my MRI and my medical options. I chose surgery. Without surgery, I was looking at possible paralysis. A week later I had surgery. My hospital experience was very positive. The staff was great, and everyone followed coronavirus prec... read more
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... read more
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 w... read more
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... read more
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)!
