Gordon L MacPherson

With over 24 years of experience creating Surgical Technique and OR Staff In-Service Video Tutorials, Gordon has seen much and developed a keen understanding of Anatomy and Physiology. Being a Healthcare Advocate for my parents and other family members, I know the questions to ask to get the answers needed to move forward. Sometimes the answer is to do nothing at all and go on to live the best life you can for the time you have. Other times you may decide to take a different road of therapies and we will share with you what to expect and the possible outcomes. I and William L Hoover, II, M.D. will never back away from the hard questions, and we will always provide you the most accurate answer based on known science. This is a political free zone, it's all about you, your diagnosis and the treatments available. The final choice is between you, your physician and family or friends.
