She appreciates the opportunity to witness and support the human-animal bond and derives great satisfaction from being able to immediately see the impact of her work on animals. While she has a specific interest in toxicities, complicated internal medicine cases, and trauma, she genuinely enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Gordon has a fulfilling personal life. She resides in Southwest Minneapolis with her daughter, one small dog, one big dog, and a cat.
