Dr Simon Gordon

Gynaecologist

Dear patients,

After more than a quarter of a century helping more than 13,000 patients with their complex medical needs, the time has come for me to retire from practice.

I’ve been privileged to work as a gynaecologist since 1997, in both public and private hospitals in Victoria. This has allowed me not only to meet so many patients, but many of their families and friends.

No time is a great time to retire from practice, as there will always be patients awaiting consultations and surgery where required. But it’s also time for me to spend time with my family, as roles like mine don’t always allow for that.

I’m now contacting my patients who are booked for upcoming consultations, surgery or post operative calls to let them know of my decision. Importantly, I’m also providing patients who need it, with information on how to find alternate gynaecologists in the future.

In the meantime, I’d like to personally thank all of my patients, anaesthetists, theatre staff, nurses and hospital staff I’ve worked with in the past 27 years.

It’s been an honour to serve the Victorian community for so long. While it’s time for new endeavours, I’ll always remember my time in medicine fondly by seeking the very best outcomes for every patient I’ve met.

Dr Simon Gordon.
