I’m Dr. Michelle Gordon, DO.

I am board-certified in Surgery, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine.

Surgical training teaches you one thing very quickly.

You do not act without understanding the problem.

Diagnosis comes first.

Precision matters.

And guessing harms people.

That same principle guides how I practice medicine now.

Obesity is not a lifestyle issue.

Midlife weight gain is not a character flaw.

Women’s symptoms are not vague or exaggerated.

My training spans surgery, metabolic disease, nutrition, inflammation, and long-term behavior change.

That combination matters.

I slow down.

I look closely.

I connect the dots between hormones, metabolism, sleep, weight, and inflammation.

And I tell women the truth about what’s happening in their bodies.

Because once you understand your physiology, the fight ends.
